Million Veteran Program Return of Actionable Results

The purpose of the Million Veteran Program- Return of Actionable Results (MVP-ROAR) Study is to develop a process to return medically actionable genetic results to living MVP participants nationwide and to determine the impact of doing so on medical management and outcomes and Veteran quality of life.

About this study

The Million Veteran Program - Return of Actionable Results (MVP-ROAR) Study is a randomized controlled trial of immediate vs. delayed (after 6 months) return of medically actionable, clinically confirmed genetic testing results. MVP participants with a medically actionable variant in their MVP chip genotype data will be contacted and offered the opportunity to receive clinical confirmation of this result through a research protocol. First, a non-randomized pilot trial will be conducted among 10 eligible MVP participants, followed by a randomized controlled trial of immediate vs. delayed clinical confirmation and reporting, delivered to participants nationwide via telegenetic counseling.

Three hypotheses will be tested:

Hypothesis 1 (LDL-C change): LDL-C reduction after 6 months will be greater in the Immediate Results arm compared to the Delayed Results arm (primary outcome) Hypothesis 2 (LDL-C target): The proportion of participants meeting clinically significant LDL-C targets (<100mg/dL for primary prevention and <70 mg/dL for secondary prevention) at 6 months will be greater in the Immediate Results arm than in the Delayed Results arm (secondary outcome) Hypothesis 3 (Pharmacotherapy): the proportion of participants with an intensification of lipid-lowering pharmacotherapy will be greater in the Immediate Results arm than in the Delayed Results arm (secondary outcome)

Result disclosure

Genetic

Disclosure of clinically confirmed, medically actionable genetic testing results and post-test genetic counseling session.

Primary outcomes

  1. LDL-C Change

    Time frame: 6 months

    Change in LDL-C after 6 months.

Secondary outcomes

  1. LDL-C Target

    Time frame: 6 months

    The number of participants meeting clinically significant LDL-C targets (< 100mg/dL for primary prevention and <70 mg/dL for secondary prevention) at 6 months.

  2. Pharmacotherapy

    Time frame: 6 months

    The number of participants with an intensification of lipid-lowering pharmacotherapy, a composite outcome including prescription of new monotherapy, dose escalation of existing pharmacotherapy, and addition of one or more medications to existing pharmacotherapy.

Other outcomes

  1. Cascade Testing

    Time frame: 6 months

    The number of first-degree relatives having undergone genetic testing at 6 months.

  2. Lifestyle Behaviors

    Time frame: 6 months

    The number of participants reporting healthy lifestyle behaviors (smoking, physical activity, and saturated fat intake) at 6 months, measured by questionnaire responses.

  3. Quality of Life (Veterans RAND Survey)

    Time frame: 6 months

    Quality of life, measured by the Veterans RAND (distributed by RAND Corporation) 12-item Health Survey (VR-12). Items are scored using an algorithm and summarized into two scores (Physical Component Score and a Mental Component Score) ranging from 0-100, with a higher score indicating better health.

  4. Medication Adherence

    Time frame: 6 months

    Medication adherence at 6 months, measured by the Beliefs About Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ).

  5. Smoking Status

    Time frame: 6-month

    6-month smoking status
