About this trial

The investigator's primary aim is to evaluate polypharmacy-associated adverse drug reactions (ADR) in a pilot study of at-risk patients using state-of-the-art pharmacogenomic technology and to use this information to make recommendations for optimization of pharmacotherapy regimens. The data from the pilot cohort will be used to optimize and integrate a customized electronic decision support (clinical semantic network; CSN) dashboard to identify drug regimens that should be modified, replaced, or discontinued. A secondary objective of the pilot study is to evaluate the capacity/saturation of CYP P450 enzymatic pathways in polypharmacy patients. A third objective is to determine the feasibility of the planned informatics workflows between the CLIA lab, the EMR, and the Family Medicine Practice.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Frequency and nature of ADRs on the Naranjo Scale

Patients will be referred to the Texas A\&M Interprofessional Pharmacogenomics Clinic (IPGx) by their primary care physicians. A physician or ambulatory pharmacist in the IPGx clinic or Family Care Clinic will obtain a complete medical history, physical examination, and validate the patient's current concomitant medication list at the IPGx during the office visit. Patient medical information would be input into the CSN, which functions as a computable EHR medical record analysis, evaluation of polypharmacy status, and monitoring of ADRs using the Naranjo Scale (19) will be conducted for the duration of the study.

Time frame
180 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Emergency department visits

A secondary objective of the pilot study is to evaluate \& monitor the frequency of Emergency department visits.

Time frame
180 days
2

Hospital admissions

An additional objective of the pilot study is to evaluate \& monitor the frequency of hospital admissions.

Time frame
180 days
3

Serum/plasma drug concentrations

Patients will be referred to the Texas A\&M Interprofessional Pharmacogenomics Clinic (IPGx) by their primary care physicians to evaluate pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) assessment. For measurement of drug levels, urine will be collected in kits provided by IC42 at room temperature and will be shipped to IC42 each day via FedEx in provided biosafety shipping kits.

Time frame
180 days
4

Pharmacogenomic genotype with corresponding ADR phenotype

Patients will be referred to the Texas A\&M Interprofessional Pharmacogenomics Clinic (IPGx) by their primary care physicians to evaluate genotyping and ADR. Clinical staff will obtain a buccal swab to collect DNA for a pharmacogenomic evaluation pursuant to the sample collection kits from the CLIA lab, which will occur at the start of the study period. Blood chemistry will be taken from the EMR.

Time frame
180 days
