Banner text: All of Us, the future begins with you. The Precision Medicine Initiative.

Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI)

This research initiative is a groundbreaking approach to disease prevention and treatment based on individual differences in environment, genes, and lifestyle. The goal of this study is to engage a group of 1 million research participants who will share biological samples, genetic data and diet/lifestyle information, all linked to their electronic health records. This data will allow researchers to develop more precise treatments for many diseases and health conditions.

PRagmatic EValuation of evENTs And Benefits of Lipid-lowering in oldEr adults (PREVENTABLE)

PREVENTABLE is one of the largest research studies in older adults. We aim to learn if taking a statin, a commonly used drug to lower cholesterol, could help older adults live well for longer by preventing dementia, disability, or heart disease. The benefits of taking statins for older adults without heart disease are not fully understood. Results from PREVENTABLE will help us learn if taking a statin is helpful for older adults.

Aspirin Dosing: A Patient-centric Trial Assessing Benefits and Long-Term Effectiveness (ADAPTABLE)

The purpose of ADAPTABLE is to compare the effectiveness of two daily doses of aspirin widely used to prevent heart attacks and strokes in individuals living with heart disease.  What we will learn from the ADAPTABLE study will improve care and outcomes for patients with heart disease and could prevent as many as 88,800 deaths per year around the world.
