Completed
Conditions
OCD
Registration Number
NCT01936051
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

To modeling the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic(PK-PD) simulation with the plasma concentration and the transporter occupancy from OCD patients treated with escitalopram.

To examine the effect of G2677T/A single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) of ABCB1 gene to the PK-PD modeling in OCD patients treated with escitalopram.
