Studying side effects of medicines in children
This study follows children who take medicines to better understand what causes side effects. It also looks at family history and genetics to see who may be more likely to have an adverse reaction, and it checks findings using adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be under 19 years old and have taken a medicine
- Have had or be connected to a child who had a medicine side effect (adverse drug reaction)
- Have a biological parent who can participate if the child had a side effect
- Speak and understand English (except if you live in Quebec)
- Adults may also be included to help confirm the results in children

This study helps doctors use genetic (pharmacogenomic) testing to choose which medicines may work best and cause fewer side effects. You may join if your child’s doctor is considering certain common medicines, such as pain, antibiotic, or mental health medications.
This study looks at your genes to see how they might affect how your body processes many medications. You may be a good fit if you take five or more different medicines and want to help researchers learn more about personalized medicine.
This study measures how children’s bodies handle medicines they are already prescribed as standard care. It may help doctors choose safer, more accurate doses for children in the future.
This study looks at how your genes affect the way your body handles medications. It aims to improve treatment by understanding genetic differences, especially if you take multiple medications.
This study looks at older adults’ personal risk for bad side effects from their medicines, especially when they take many drugs. It may help doctors understand which side effects a person is more likely to get and improve safer prescribing.
This trial measures how medicines behave in the body when they are used in children younger than 8 years for a reason or dose not listed on the official FDA label. It may help doctors choose safer, better doses for children in the future.
