NCT ID NCT06511401

First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether checking a person's genes before prescribing pain medicine can lead to better pain control for cancer patients. Researchers will give some participants a genetic test and use the results to guide opioid choice, while others receive standard care. The goal is to see if the genetic approach reduces pain scores and leads to fewer medication changes. The study plans to enroll 800 adults receiving cancer care at the University of Chicago.
