Genetic testing to prevent bad drug reactions or treatment failures
This study looks at whether a person’s genetic makeup can help choose safer medicines or improve how well treatment works. You may be asked for testing if you’ve had a bad reaction or treatment failure, or if you’re starting a new medicine that is known to be affected by genetics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are starting a new medicine that has a known genetics link (or you can have the genetics test done for that medicine).
- You have a current medicine where you had a side effect likely caused by a gene-related way your body handles the drug (or it didn’t work as expected).
- You may qualify if you (or your family) have a history of bad drug reactions or treatment failures linked to medicines affected by genetics.
- You (or your legal guardian if you’re under 14) can sign the consent form.
- You understand enough German to participate in the study and follow instructions.
- You can personally travel to the study pharmacy to complete study visits/testing.

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 tests whether doing genetic testing before starting or adjusting antidepressants—guided by a pharmacist—can improve treatment for people with moderate to severe depression. The goal is to help match you with antidepressants more safely and effectively.
This study collects blood, urine, and cheek swabs, along with health information, to see how your genes affect your response to medications. You may be eligible if you take many medications or are on blood pressure or depression medication.
This study tests if using genetic information can help doctors choose the right mental health medication or dose. It may help find treatments that work better with fewer side effects.
This trial checks whether using a genetic (DNA) medication test—done within the last 120 days—can help reduce bad medication reactions and prevent readmissions to the hospital. It may help people whose medications have caused side effects or did not work well.
This study tests whether a cheek-swab DNA test can help doctors choose safer medicines for you. If you are starting a new drug in primary care, you might join to help prevent side effects.
