Brief summary

Healthy volunteer food-effect study to determine the effect of food on uracil and dihydrouracil levels in plasma

Interventions

OTHERTest meal (breakfast)

Standardized test meal, in accordance with high-fat and high-calorie meal as described in the FDA guidance, but ingredients are changed to Dutch standards and ingredients are added that are expected to have the largest effects on dihydrouracil and uracil levels

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Uracil levels (ng/ml) and dihydrouracil levels (ng/ml), compared in fed and fasting condition2 test days12 blood samples taken on both test days (fed and fasting condition), to investigate the effect of food on uracil and dihydrouracil levels

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase enzyme activity (nmol/mg*h)baselineDihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase enzyme activity is assessed at baseline to rule out any potential influence of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency on uracil and dihydrouracil levels
