Summary

This trial will compare the effects of DNA-guided choice of antidepressant therapy versus clinical management alone in cancer patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult cancer patients who are experiencing depression or anxiety, with a score over 5 on a 10-point scale. They must have normal liver and kidney function tests, be able to fill out questionnaires, and not be pregnant. Those with cognitive impairments like dementia or psychological conditions such as schizophrenia are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study compares two approaches: one where antidepressant therapy is guided by the patient's DNA information versus standard clinical management without genetic guidance. The impact on depressive and anxiety symptoms, as well as quality of life will be measured.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, antidepressants can commonly cause nausea, sleep disturbances, fatigue, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation and sometimes more serious risks depending on the individual's health status.
