Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a blood pressure medication, spironolactone, can be tolerated by older African American adults that have memory and thinking problems, also called mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This study will also investigate the effect of spironolactone on memory and thinking abilities as measured by performance on cognitive tests, which are tests that measure memory and thinking skills. Participants will take spironolactone or a placebo for one year and will have 4 to 5 study visits during the study period.
