What are pharmacokinetic studies?

These are studies designed to identify and describe one or more of the following basic pharmacological concepts in humans: absorbtion; distribution; metabolism and excretion, of drugs. These may be either stand alone studies, or incorporated into main clinical protocols. UKCCSG Centres wishing to participate in pharmacokinetic studies will need to have a research nurse in post, as it is the research nurse who is involved in sampling and form completion for these studies.
