Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) Genotype
CES1 Activity
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02135263
Lead Sponsor
Bispebjerg Hospital
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether differences in the gene coding for the liver enzyme carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) means differences in the metabolism of two CES1 dependent drugs, enalapril and methylphenidate.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Metabolomic profilePredose/pre-meal, predose/post-meal, 2 and 6 hours post-dose

Four samples for each participant during the methylphenidate trials (as indicated above). Metabolomics will be assessed with focus on lipids (lipid platform) and with use of usual concentration measures (eg nanomolar (nM))
