Pivotal Trials (Near Approval)
Breakthrough Medication
The goal of this prospective randomized clinical trial is to learn if a pharmacist-provided personalized medication review (PMR) that discusses pharmacogenomic test results will improve medication outcomes. The primary aim is to identify patients within the Pitt/UPMC employee health programs who are most likely to benefit from PGx testing based on prescription history. The second aim is to determine the effect of the pharmacist-provided PMR including PGx test results. Participants 18 years of age and older who have undergone PGx testing through a independent biobanking study (Pitt+Me Discovery) will be randomly assigned to receive PMR with a discussion of PGx test results or PMR without PGx results. Those who receive PMR only will receive PGx results one year after their PMR. Researchers will compare the groups to see if a pharmacist-provided PMR using PGx test results will lead to better medication outcomes and lower medical costs.

This study is an observational clinical trial aimed at to evaluate the use of pharmacogenetic testing (PGx) for mental health treatment in members and Veterans of the CAF and RCMP patient population as well as the attitudes of both St. Joseph's OSI Clinic Psychiatrists and patients towards PGx. Both OSI Clinic Psychiatrists participants and patient participants will be administered a brief demographic survey in addition to a survey examining their views on, and current knowledge of PGx. Patient participants will have an opportunity to opt-in to or opt-out of receiving PGx. For patient participants who opt-in to PGx (PGx-guided treatment group), a report summarizing the PGx results will be sent to each patient participants' respective OSI Clinic Psychiatrist, alongside a questionnaire that captures the OSI Clinic Psychiatrist participant's treatment planning and changes to treatment planning. Where applicable, past treatment data from patient participants acquired at the St. Joseph's OSI Clinic will be used to identify the number of prior medication changes. Patient participants who opt-out of PGx but continue to receive pharmacologic care at the St. Joseph's OSI Clinic will act as a standard care comparator treatment group. Patient participant's outcomes including PTSD, depression and anxiety severity, and medication-related side effects, will be assessed until the patient participant is discharged from the OSI Clinic or after 24 weeks, whichever comes first. All patient participants, regardless of their study treatment group, will have their symptomatology collected via standard care data collection protocol (Client Reported Outcomes Monitoring Information System (CROMIS) and electronic medical records (EMR)); a self-report assessing the presence of side effects will be completed via Lawson REDCap. OSI Clinic Psychiatrist participants and patient participants will be asked to complete a virtual exit interview at the end of their participation.

5-fluorouracil and capecitabine, sometimes called 5-FU, fluoropyrimidines, or Xeloda are a type of chemotherapy. Many people have side effects from these drugs like nausea, diarrhea, or blood problems. This research study is being conducted to learn how to help increase the number of patients offered DPYD testing before taking this type of chemotherapy drugs. DPYD testing can help predict risk of side effects. Different people's bodies break down and use drugs faster or slower. Genes are the instructions that tell our bodies how to do this. The DPYD gene is one of the genes that tell your body how to use chemotherapy drugs. Some people have changes in their DPYD gene that can make their side effects from chemotherapy worse, sometimes so bad that they die. DPYD testing can tell doctors which people have these gene changes and need extra monitoring during chemotherapy. Some of the people in this study will join a focus group and read sample messages for future patients. They will discuss with the other participants how well the message does its job and anything that might make the message better. When there are no more messages, the host may ask about other information for future patients like a website or brochure. Other people in the study will read sample messages that may be sent to future patients about DPYD testing. They will select the message that they like the best and might make them ask their oncologist about testing options.

Celecoxib is effective for reducing postoperative pain in adults. Children use celecoxib more rapidly than adults and require higher doses. Celecoxib is partially metabolized in the liver by a certain enzyme. A person's genetic variation of this enzyme can influence how well their body uses Celecoxib. Furthermore, Celecoxib down-regulates P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a drug efflux transporter located at the blood brain barrier responsible for central nervous system (CNS) extrusion of ondansetron and possibly fentanyl; therefore celecoxib may augment the CNS effects of these drugs. Understanding the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profile of celecoxib in children and the influence of genetics on metabolism would help to develop appropriate celecoxib dosing in children for various treatment options.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of belimumab and intravenous rituximab co-administration at inducing a complete or partial remission (CR or PR) compared to rituximab alone in participants with primary membranous nephropathy. Background: Primary membranous nephropathy (MN) is among the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome in adults. MN affects individuals of all ages and races. The peak incidence of MN is in the fifth decade of life. Primary MN is recognized to be an autoimmune disease, a disease where the body's own immune system causes damage to kidneys. This damage can cause the loss of too much protein in the urine. Drugs used to treat MN aim to reduce the attack by one's own immune system on the kidneys by blocking inflammation and reducing the immune system's function. These drugs can have serious side effects and often do not cure the disease. There is a need for new treatments for MN that are better at improving the disease while reducing fewer treatment associated side effects. In this study, researchers will evaluate if treatment with a combination of two different drugs, belimumab and rituximab, is effective at blocking the immune attacks on the kidney compared to rituximab alone. Rituximab works by decreasing a type of immune cell, called B cells. B cells are known to have a role in MN. Once these cells are removed, disease may become less active or even inactive. However, after stopping treatment, the body will make new B cells which may cause disease to become active again. Belimumab works by decreasing the new B cells produced by the body and, may even change the type of new B cells subsequently produced. Belimumab is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat systemic lupus erythematosus (also referred to as lupus or SLE). Rituximab is approved by the FDA to treat some types of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and vasculitis. Neither rituximab nor belimumab is approved by the FDA to treat MN. Treatment with a combination of belimumab and rituximab has not been studied in individuals with MN, but has been tested in other autoimmune diseases, including lupus nephritis and Sjögren's syndrome.

This is a sub-study of NIDA CTN Protocol 0080: Medication Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder in Expectant Mothers (MOMs; Unique protocol ID: 2019-0429-1). Participants in MOMs will be offered the opportunity to enroll in this sub-study, which is designed to evaluate conceptual models of the mechanisms by which extended-release buprenorphine (BUP-XR), may improve mother-infant outcomes, compared to sublingual buprenorphine (BUP-SL). The additional data collected in this sub-study will be combined with data from the main MOMs trial. It is hypothesized that: (1) the buprenorphine blood levels will vary, depending on which formulation of buprenorphine was received, (2) the variation in buprenorphine blood levels will be associated with fetal behavior (including fetal heart rate variability) (3) the variation in buprenorphine blood levels will be associated with differences in mother outcomes (including medication adherence and illicit opioid use) (4) the variation in buprenorphine blood levels and in fetal behavior will be associated with infant outcomes (including neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and infant development).

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Background: - Plexiform neurofibromas are tumors that grow in and around nerves. The only way to treat them is with surgery. Some of these tumors cannot be completely removed. The tumors may be too large, too numerous, or in a bad location for surgery. An experimental drug called AZD6244 hydrogen sulfate may be able to prevent the tumors from growing, slow down their growth, or shrink them. This drug has been tested in adults with cancer and in children with some types of brain cancer. This study will test how well this drug works with these types of tumors. Objectives: - To study the safety and effectiveness of AZD6244 hydrogen sulfate in children and young adults with plexiform neurofibromas that cannot be completely removed by surgery. Eligibility: - Children and young adults between 12 and 18 years of age who have plexiform neurofibromas that cannot be completely removed by surgery. Design: * Patients will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, blood tests, and imaging studies. * They will take the study drug twice a day with 8 ounces of water, every day for 28-day cycles of treatment. During study visits, participants will have blood and urine tests and physical exams. They will also have imaging studies to examine the tumor sizes and locations. They will answer questions about their health. They may have other tests as needed. * Participants will continue to receive the study drug as long as they have no severe side effects and the disease is not getting worse.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Pharmacogenetics clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Pharmacogenetics clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Pharmacogenetics trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Pharmacogenetics is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Pharmacogenetics medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Pharmacogenetics clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Etanercept Dosing for Arthritis, MDMA for Liver Disease and Alectinib Pharmacogenomics for Lung Cancer to the Power online platform.
