Pain treatment guided by your genes
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether knowing your genetic makeup can help doctors choose the safest and most effective pain medicine for you before you start taking opioids. If you are being treated for cancer and may need opioid pain medication soon, this trial might be a fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses personalized information to help understand how your current medicines interact with each other and with your genes. It may help your care team choose safer, more effective medication plans for you.
This study looks at how to put genetic testing results (pharmacogenomics) into regular doctor care. It aims to see whether using the results helps doctors choose safer, better-matched medications.
This study looks at whether using a person’s genetic information helps doctors make better decisions during planned surgery. It may help tailor care, but you would only join if you can consent and don’t have certain serious conditions.
This study looks at how genetic testing can help tailor cancer treatment for children and young adults. It is for patients newly diagnosed with cancer or those preparing for a bone marrow transplant for a non-cancer condition.
This trial studies how doing genetic (DNA) testing on your cancer helps doctors choose targeted treatments, and how those treatments affect outcomes. It is for adults whose cancer has not responded to the first standard treatment or who do not have curative options.
This Phase 2 study tests a new medicine (3D1002) taken together with extended-release oxycodone to improve moderate to severe cancer pain. You may be considered if your cancer pain is stable and you can follow the study’s strict pain-medication rules.
