Can a home BP monitor and a support team close the hypertension gap for black patients?
NCT ID NCT06527794
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study enrolls 864 Black adults with uncontrolled high blood pressure to see if a home monitoring program with pharmacist and community health worker support works better than usual clinic care. Participants will either get a home BP monitor plus remote medication management and social support, or standard care with a home monitor. The main goal is to see how many achieve blood pressure below 130 mmHg after 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Home blood pressure telemonitoring with pharmacist-led medication management and community health worker support
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a practical, scalable way to improve blood pressure control and reduce health disparities in Black patients with hypertension.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral intervention trial, not a drug study, so results depend on patient engagement and adherence. The effect may vary across different communities and healthcare settings.
