SOLVD Health Launches 5-Year Post-Approval Study on Real-World Impact for AvertD® Genetic Test

Nationwide study to demonstrate long-term predictive accuracy of AvertD^® in clinical setting

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SOLVD Health (SOLVD), a patient intelligence company developing cutting-edge precision solutions to deliver better health outcomes, has launched a comprehensive post-approval study for AvertD^®, the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved genetic test for assessing risk of developing opioid use disorder (OUD). This post-approval study aims to expand upon pivotal study findings and further demonstrate AvertD’s ability to enhance personalized data-driven decisions in real-world settings.

The prospective study will enroll up to 4,000 patients, integrating agile methods to gather comprehensive, real-world data from diverse demographic groups across the United States. Designed to confirm AvertD’s predictive accuracy across diverse populations, the study seeks to equip providers with critical insights for individualized, evidence-based pain management.

"The launch of our post-approval study for AvertD represents more than our commitment to regulatory requirements. It's a commitment to addressing one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time," said SOLVD Health Founder and CEO Dr. Keri Donaldson. “Every day, healthcare providers and their patients face challenging decisions about pain management. Our goal is to arm them with precise, personalized insights to guide these critical decisions and improve patient outcomes.”

The study will follow participants for up to five years, providing additional long-term data on the predictive value of genetic testing in OUD risk assessment. The extended timeframe will enable researchers to observe how genetic risk factors interact with environmental and behavioral influences over time, potentially uncovering new strategies for addiction prevention and intervention.
