Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: not applicable;Primary end point(s): Vital signs (pulse rate in bpm, systolic and diastolic blood pressure in mmHg, electrocardiogram), plasma concentration of metoprolol;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At baseline, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours after administration;Main Objective: To educate students about the full life cycle of clinical trials including study set-up, design, execution, analysis and reporting To explore the influence of CYP2D6 polymorphism on the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of metoprolol in healthy volunteers

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
