Recent studies show improvement in patients with depression who received PGx testing to inform their clinician’s medication selection compared to patients who experienced usual care.
VA-sponsored PRIME Care Trial evaluated impact of PGx on psychiatric treatment outcomes and medication selection in U.S. veterans with depression. When prescribing could be informed by PGx, patients had 28% greater likelihood of achieving depression remission over 24 weeks compared to treatment as usual.1
Meta-analysis including >4,500 patients from 13 clinical trials showed that PGx arm experienced 41% greater likelihood of achieving remission compared to treatment as usual.2
Expert opinions continue to evolve.
