NCT ID NCT07447206
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small pilot study will test a pharmacist-led program to control high blood pressure and cholesterol in 10 people aged 50-75 who carry the APOE ε4 gene, a major risk factor for Alzheimer's. Participants will take specific medications for six months to see if managing these heart risks is feasible and improves health markers. The goal is to gather initial data for a larger trial aimed at preventing dementia.
