What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of subjects who experience target drug-related adverse events (TDRAE) over the 90-day period following enrollment

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. All TDRAE as quantified within each of the four classes of medications

    Measured: 90 days

  2. TDRAE driving a change in the subject's drug regimen (dose change, discontinuation, substation, or addition of a new drug)

    Measured: 90 days

  3. Severe TDRAE, defined as a TDRAE that meets the criteria for a Serious Adverse Event

    Measured: 90 days

  4. Ineffective therapeutic response, determined by the Investigator

    Measured: 90 days

  5. Supra-therapeutic response, as determined by the Investigator

    Measured: 90 days

  6. Frequency of subjects with changes in drug regimen

    Measured: 90 days

  7. Healthcare resource utilization, as measured by the number of outpatient clinic visits, emergency room/urgent care visits, and hospitalizations; tabulated over the 90-day period following enrollment

    Measured: 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Urine diagnostic testing as SOC, drug regimen changes per SOC and Urine diagnostic testing with selective PGx testing, drug regimen changes based on PGx test results in people with Target Drug-related Adverse Events, run by InSource Diagnostics 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 5 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2018. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The proportion of subjects who experience target drug-related adverse events (TDRAE) over the 90-day period following enrollment (time frame: 90 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02625155, which also lists 36 linked publications.

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 28 Feb 2018.
