PRECISE Trial Summary

This trial is looking at whether or not providing surgeons with information about a patient's genes and how they respond to drugs can help improve patient outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals assigned female at birth, aged 18 or older, who are about to undergo major gynecologic surgery such as a hysterectomy. Participants must be willing to provide a cheek swab for genetic testing and follow study procedures. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those on long-term opioid therapy, or if their physician advises against participation are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether using pharmacogenetic testing (how genes affect drug response) can guide the choice of painkillers after surgery. It's a two-arm study where one group gets genotype-guided analgesic selection and the other receives usual care; both groups will have genetic testing done.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on personalized medication choices based on genetics rather than new drugs, side effects would relate to individual responses to standard painkillers used post-surgery which could include nausea, constipation, dizziness, or allergic reactions.

PRECISE Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Usual careExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Pharmacogenetic testing using a 16 gene panel. Post-surgery analgesic selection will be based on usual care (not the PGx results). Pharmacist recommendations for all 16 gene results will be provided in a detailed note with a delayed return of results (30 days post surgery)
Group II: PGx-guidedExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Pharmacogenetic testing using a 16 gene panel with a pharmacist consult providing genotype-guided recommendations for post-surgery analgesic selection based on CYP2D6 and CYP2C9 results. Pharmacist recommendations for all 16 gene results will also be provided in a detailed note.
