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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- pharmacogenomic testing and clinical decision-support dashboard
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors personalize medication choices to reduce side effects and hospital visits for people taking multiple drugs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study (50 people) focused on feasibility, not on proving a treatment works. The results may not apply to larger or different populations.
