Summary

This research study will determine if genetic variation in CYP2B6 affects how the body metabolizes ketamine.

Clinical Details

Official title: Role of CYP2B6 Polymorphisms in Ketamine Metabolism and Clearance

Study design: Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label

Primary outcome: The effects of CYP2B6 genetic variants on ketamine metabolism and clearance by CYP2B6*6 hetero or homozygote genotype.

Secondary outcome:

ketamine concentration

norketamine formation clearances and by genotype

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: 50 Years. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria: 1. 18-50 yr old 2. CYP2B6*1/*1, CYP2B6*1/*6 or CYP2B6*6/*6 genotype (see table) (Note: subjects of other rare genotype but with one or more 516G>T, 785A>G, 983T>C or 1459C>T polymorphism may be enrolled at PI's discretion) 3.
