Poppy seed eaters needed for new drug test study
NCT ID NCT07192887
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create a reliable urine test that can detect thebaine, a substance found in poppy seeds. Twenty healthy adults aged 18-65 will eat poppy seed products and provide urine samples over two days. The goal is to validate a laboratory method to measure thebaine levels, which could help distinguish poppy seed consumption from opioid use.
