Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Rome IV criteria for functional nausea and vomiting disorders (chronic nausea vomiting syndrome, cyclic vomiting syndrome), abdominal bloating/distention, dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic abdominal pain, functional diarrhea, or chronic constipation.
  • On 1 or more medications identified in Appendix 1 on a daily basis for at least six months.
  • Symptoms of moderate or severe severity on either of these 2 instruments: For IBS-SSS, use moderate (175-300) or severe (> 300) IBS. For FD - Score ≥ 3 for any symptom on Nepean Dyspepsia Index.
  • No prior pharmacogenomics assessment.
  • Willingness to adjust medications based upon results of PGX testing.
  • Patients must understand and provide written informed consent and HIPAA authorization prior to initiation of any study-specific procedures.
  • Patients must have the ability to complete questionnaires by themselves or with assistance.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who decline to be evaluated by a mental health professional during their evaluation.
  • Rumination syndrome, cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, patients with a significant GI disease process (e.g., intestinal pseudo-obstruction, severe gastroparesis, megacolon) which, in the opinion of the investigator, is likely irreversible.
  • Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, are likely to undergo another major therapeutic intervention during the next 6 months (e.g., surgery or pelvic floor retraining by biofeedback therapy). However, other changes (e.g., medications) will not preclude participation in the study.
  • Patients with any of the following per history, and review of medical record prior to study entry: any psychotic disorders, bipolar disorders, or major cognitive disorders; any active substance use disorders, other than tobacco; currently active suicidal ideation; current treatment with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS); discharge from a psychiatric inpatient hospital or intensive psychiatric outpatient program within 6 weeks prior to GI consultation.
  • Patients who are unwilling or cannot, for any reason, adjust their medications.

About this study

Researchers are trying to learn more about how individuals break down and process specific medications based on their genes. Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is a new, specialized field within individualized medicine. PGx is the study of how genes may affect the body's response to, and interaction with, some prescription medications. Genes carry information that determines things such as eye color and blood type. Genes can also influence how individuals process and respond to medications. Depending on genetic make-up, some medications may work faster or slower or produce fewer side effects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of subjects to have clinical management changes based on PGx results

    Number of subjects that pharmacogenomic (PGx) results guided the clinical management of gastrointestinal disorders

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Change in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) severity

    Measured using the self-reported IBS severity scoring system (IBS-SSS) Questionnaire; 500 point continuous scale: 0= no symptoms to 500=maximum severity

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months. 6 months

  3. Change in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality of Life

    Measured using the self-reported Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality of Life (IBS-QOL) survey; score ranges from 0 (poor QOL) to 100 (maximum QOL)

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months. 6 months

  4. Change in symptom severity with dyspepsia

    Measured using the self-reported Nepean Dyspepsia Index (NDI) questionnaire which consists of a symptom checklist that measures frequency (0-4), intensity (0-5) and bothersomeness (0-4) of 15 upper gastrointestinal symptoms. The average score for each symptom is derived by averaging scores for frequency, intensity, and bothersomeness. Scores of 3 respectively represent a frequency of 9 to 12 days/week, moderate intensity, and a bothersomeness of "quite a bit".

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months. 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in anxiety

    Measured using the self-reported Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire; score range 0-21 points, higher scores indicate worse symptoms

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  2. Change in Patient Health Questionnaire Score

    Measured using the self-reported Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9); score range 0-27 points, higher scores indicate worse symptoms

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  3. Change in general well-being

    Measured using the self-reported Global Wellbeing Likert scale; subjects asked to rate their general health perception on a scale range of 1=Excellent, 2=Very Good, 3=Good, 4=Fair, 5=Poor

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  4. Change in Pain score

    Measured using the self-reported McGill Pain score; score range 0-78; higher scores indicate worse pain

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pharmacogenomics (PGx) genetic testing in people with Gastrointestinal Diseases, run by Mayo Clinic 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 7 inclusion and 5 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 7 Oct 2022. 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.

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?

Number of subjects to have clinical management changes based on PGx results (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Oct 2022.
