Summary

This study tests whether pharmacy interns, working under supervision, can help people with heart disease lower their cholesterol. About 1,000 adults who are not meeting their LDL cholesterol goals will receive phone counseling from a student pharmacist. The goal is to see if this extra support helps more patients reach their target cholesterol levels over 6 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Pharmacy intern counseling
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that trained pharmacy interns help more patients reach their cholesterol goals, improving heart disease management.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study focused on process improvement, not a new drug. Results may not apply to other clinics or populations.

Participants

About 1,000 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Jan 2026

Expected to finish

May 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Inclusion criteria are appropriate for this study as this population would have benefit from a pharmacist/student pharmacist intervention of add-on non-statin therapy for secondary ASCVD prevention according to clinical guidelines. Exclusion criteria are appropriate for this study as patients either do not require intervention (i.e. they are already at goal an therapy does not need to be changed or initiation of therapy is not appropriate due to lack of documented history of ASCVD), do not receive cholesterol management at CommUnityCare, and/or may have a drug safety concern due to pregnancy status.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (\>18 years) who have seen a CommUnityCare provider in the previous 12 months at time of enrollment, who have a documented history of clinical ASCVD, and are not achieving LDL targets (either \<55 or \<70 mg/dL based on risk factors) Exclusion Criteria: * Patients will be excluded if they do not have a clearly documented history clinical ASCVD, are already achieving LDL targets (either \<55 or \<70 mg/dL based on risk factors), having cholesterol managed by outside provider (e.g. outside cardiologist/lipid specialist), current pregnancy, have not seen a CUC provider in the previous 12 months, or otherwise do not qualify for clinical pharmacy intervention
