Gene test before surgery could prevent drug reactions
NCT ID NCT03729180
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving doctors a patient's genetic information before surgery helps them choose safer medications. About 1,900 adults having planned surgery at the University of Chicago will provide a blood sample for genetic testing. Half the time, doctors will see the results; the other half, they won't. Researchers will track whether access to this information changes which drugs are used and reduces harmful side effects.
