What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests a program called TEAM, designed to help people at high risk for stroke lower their risk factors. The program involves nurses and peer educator pairs working with patients and their care partners through one-on-one and group sessions. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce blood pressure and other stroke risk factors over six months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
TEAM (TargetEd MAnageMent) - a behavioral intervention delivered by nurses and peer educator dyads
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a practical, community-based way to reduce stroke risk in high-risk populations, potentially lowering blood pressure and improving health outcomes.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and the intervention is behavioral, so results may vary. Success depends on participant engagement and adherence, and the effect on stroke risk reduction may not be definitive.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Age range: ≥ 18 years * At risk for stroke defined by the following: 1. High systolic BP defined as ≥ 140 mmHg assessed on at least 2 occasions at least 3 days apart and either criterion b or c as noted below: 2. At least 1 other modifiable stroke risk factor including: diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, smoking, problem alcohol use or sedentary lifestyle. Problem alcohol use for screening purposes will be assessed with questions on frequency, type of alcohol and quantity consumed. Participants will be classified as engaging in potential problem alcohol use if they exceed the recommended level for safe alcohol intake i.e. more than 3 drinks on average every time they drink, or if they undertook binge drinking (i.e. more than 3 drinks on one occasion in the one month preceding the evaluation). 3. History of stroke or transient ischemic attack within the past 5 years * Able to participate in group sessions Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals who are unable or unwilling to provide written informed consent * Individuals who have sickle-cell disease * Females who are pregnant or lactating * Individuals with dementia
