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 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 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 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.
