NCT ID NCT05065671
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how bacteria in the gut can change the way the body processes certain drugs. 17 healthy adults took specific medicines, and researchers measured drug levels in their blood. The goal was to better understand why people respond differently to the same drug, which could lead to more personalized treatments in the future.
