Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The current study is part of a large multi-investigator grant to look at the pharmacogenetics of a number of membrane transporters. Previously, we have recruited a cohort of healthy volunteers (Studies of Pharmacogenetics in Ethnically-diverse Populations, or SOPHIE) and have resequenced the coding region of a number of membrane transporter genes to identify genetic polymorphisms in these genes. We plan to take a genotype-to-phenotype approach to study the influence of specific polymorphisms in the intestinal transporters, such as the novel organic cation transporters 1 and 2 (OCTN1 and OCTN2) genes on the bioavailability of gabapentin in healthy subjects. Eligible subjects will have a single inpatient study visit, during which they will take a single dose of gabapentin, and provide blood and urine samples over the course of 36 hours (5 terminal elimination gabapentin half-lives) for pharmacokinetic analysis.
