Testing how genetics affect drug levels with methadone
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This early study tests how a person’s genetic makeup may change how fast certain medicines move through the body. It compares drug levels when combined with methadone and tizanidine, aiming to understand safer dosing and effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how your genes affect the way your body handles medications. It aims to improve treatment by understanding genetic differences, especially if you take multiple medications.
This study measures how methadone moves through your body by using planned blood samples and computer modeling. It may help doctors better predict methadone levels to support safer dosing for people already taking methadone.
This study tests a new device that remotely checks your methadone dose. It may help people taking methadone for at least one week get more convenient care.
This study tests how a new drug called MDR-001 works when taken with two common medications (rifampin and itraconazole). Researchers want to understand if these drugs affect each other in healthy volunteers, which helps ensure the new drug is safe before testing it in patients.
This trial is for people with chronic pain who take daily methadone. It aims to measure how much methadone is in your body to help doctors find the right dose.
This study looks at your genes to see how they might affect how your body processes many medications. You may be a good fit if you take five or more different medicines and want to help researchers learn more about personalized medicine.
