About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of pharmacogenomics testing in a community pharmacy using clopidogrel as an example. The investigators hypothesize that this testing is feasible in this setting.

Read the detailed description

To determine if the study is feasible, we will examine the change in patient perception of pharmacogenomics testing (before and after the study), the percentage of patients interested in this service, the response rate of providers to pharmacist recommendations, the pharmacist time requirement, and reimbursement rate for pharmacist services.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pharmacogenomics testing for clopidogrel responsivenessOther

    Also called Personalized medicine, Pharmacogenetics

    Patients must come to the pharmacy for all visits. At the 1st visit, the patient will provide consent, a complete list of medications, a complete pre-study questionnaire, a copy of their insurance card, and a buccal swab (collected by the pharmacist). The swab will be sent to the testing facility for genotypic testing of CYP2C19. Upon receipt of the results of the results, the pharmacist will propose an intervention to the prescriber based on the patient's indication for clopidogrel and the identification of certain genetic variations atCYP2C19. All patients will be asked to return to the pharmacy for explanation of the results and implementation of any changes approved by the prescriber and to complete a follow-up questionnaire. After the visit to explain the results of testing, the patient's insurance will be billed electronically for a medication therapy management visit; patients without insurance will not be billed. Patients may opt out of billing to insurance at any time.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Feasibility of Pharmacogenomics testing in a Community pharmacy

    Change in patient perception of testing, reimbursement for pharmacist time, provider acceptance, and amount of pharmacist time required will be measured as part of the provision of this service.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pharmacogenomics testing for clopidogrel responsiveness in people with Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack, run by University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibility of Pharmacogenomics testing in a Community pharmacy (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jun 2012.
