Tailored Medication Management Intervention
NCT04717297 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Successful medication management is an essential instrumental activity of daily living (IADL) for older adults with polypharmacy; however, between 40%-70% of older adults fail to take their medications as prescribed. Providing interventions to address medication management and restore performance for this IADL is within the scope of practice for occupational therapy (OT), however, there is paucity of evidence for OT interventions to improve medication management in community-dwelling older adults. We have developed a tailored medication management intervention (TIMM) for community-dwelling older adults which recognizes the unique context in which medication management occurs (the home) and addresses the personal and environmental barriers experienced by older adults. TIMM is delivered in the home, by an OT, and in collaboration with a pharmacist to reduce inappropriate polypharmacy.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04717297
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04717297 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 33 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Washington University School of Medicine, which has 1,036 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Polypharmacy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Waitlist Control is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04717297 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Missouri. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
