Can a DNA test help prevent drug side effects in primary care?
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial checks if genetic testing can help doctors pick safer drugs for you when you are in the hospital or visiting a clinic. If you qualify, you will give a cheek swab and be followed for about 12 weeks.
This study tests whether using genetic information in the emergency department can help choose safer medications for patients 40 and older. It focuses on people who frequently visit the ER and are starting a new long-term medication.
This trial tests whether a pharmacist review of your medications, plus information from a pharmacogenomic (PGx) test (which looks at how your genes affect your response to drugs), can help improve your medication plan. If you qualify, you'll get a free PGx test and a personalized medication review.
This trial tests whether a pharmacist can use your genetic information to better manage your depression medications. It may help find the right drug or dose for you.
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.
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.
