The objectives of this study are to (1) test the feasibility of the clinical implementation of preemptive pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing in the emergency department (ED) and (2) determine if PGx testing (with appropriate decision support) decreases ED return visits and hospitalizations. We will conduct a randomized, controlled, pragmatic clinical trial assessing both the real-world effectiveness as well as implementation outcomes using a targeted PGx testing panel in several UF Health EDs.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the implementation of pre-emptive pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing of a panel of clinically relevant PGx markers, to guide the dose and drug selection for 39 commonly prescribed drugs, will result in an overall reduction in the number of clinically relevant drug-genotype associated ADRs which are causally related to the initial drug of inclusion (referred to as 'index drug').
This study looks at how a medicine called trihexyphenidyl works in children with dystonic cerebral palsy. The study aims to understand how trihexyphenidyl is broken down and used in the body of pediatric patients and whether this is impacted by a person's genetics. Information from this study will also be used to design future clinical trials.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate how differences in specific parts of our DNA can influence how individual bodies break down the hormones contained within oral contraceptive pills, which could affect how well these birth control pills work to prevent pregnancy. The investigators are also interested in exploring how these differences in our DNA can also explain why patients taking the exact same formulation of birth control pill will experience very different side effects. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do individuals with the CYP3A7\*1C variant have increased metabolism of both desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol when taking a combined oral contraceptive pill? * Do individuals with the CYP3A7\*1C variant experience higher rates of breakthrough ovulation while taking a desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol combined oral contraceptive pill? * What novel genetic loci are associated with alterations in steroid hormone pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics among a larger cohort of combined oral contraceptive pill users? Participants will take a specific formulation of combined oral contraceptive pill (desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol) and undergo the following procedures: * Blood draw to measure the amount of progestin and estrogen in their system from the combined oral contraceptive pill * Questionnaires to assess side effects possibly caused by the combined oral contraceptive pill * Blood draw to measure endogenous hormone levels and biomarkers that may be affected by the combined oral contraceptive pill * A transvaginal ultrasound to measure any ovarian follicles (optional procedure)
