Brief Summary

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

This study was a prospective, single-center, open-label, non-randomized, pharmacokinetic study using stable isotope carbon-13 labeled levothyroxine

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Setting The study was conducted on the clinical research unit of an academic medical center.

Participants Adults of any age being treated with levothyroxine for hypothyroidism were studied.

Interventions A single dose of 13C- LT4 was administered to hypothyroid subjects taking levothyroxine replacement.

Main Outcomes and Measures Eighteen serial plasma samples were collected. One sample was obtained before the 13C- LT4 dose and the remainder over the 312-hour period post-dosing. 13C- LT4 concentration was quantified using validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry methods. Pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted using linear log trapezoidal non-compartmental analysis using Phoenix 6.4.
