NCT ID NCT07662616
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a 6-month program where patients work with a pharmacist and their primary care doctor to make shared decisions about medications and lifestyle. The goal is to see if this team-based approach improves heart and kidney health scores and medication adherence. The study will enroll 94 adults with conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney disease from a Maryland clinic.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Team-based shared decision-making program (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a practical way to help people better manage multiple health conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early pilot study with only 94 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is complex and may not be easy to use in other clinics.
