NCT ID NCT06219720
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study at Texas A&M University is testing whether genetic testing can help reduce harmful side effects in people taking five or more medications. Researchers will use a special computer dashboard to analyze each patient's drug list and genetic profile, then suggest safer options. The study involves 50 adults aged 45 and older and focuses on how well the system works in a real clinic setting.
