Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

Almost 15% of Americans have chronic kidney disease (CKD), with an even higher rate in Veterans due to common risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes. People with CKD have a high risk of cardiovascular (CV) diseases, such as heart attacks, heart failure, and strokes. Extra fluid in the body, called volume overload, may lead to CV disease in people with CKD. It is unknown if volume overload develops in the earliest stages of CKD, when treating it with common, inexpensive medicines called diuretics may improve long-term CV outcomes. This study will lay important groundwork to answer this question in Veterans with early CKD by comparing two ways to measure volume overload and studying the change in common symptoms like fatigue and short-term CV function after treatment with diuretic medicines.

This is a Phase 2, parallel group study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and exploratory efficacy of 3 doses of CS1 in the treatment of PAH using the CardioMEMS HF System to obtain repeated measurements of PAP and other hemodynamic parameters. Elegible subjects will have a RHC to implant the CardioMEMS pulmonary artery (PA) Sensor followed by a Baseline Period for the subject to become familiar with the system, its measurements, how to send the data, and establish Baseline PA pressure. Alternately, the subject may already have the CardioMEMS HF System and is willing to have the system recalibrated in conjunction with RHC. Thereafter, the subject will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 total daily doses of CS1 1:1:1; there will be 10 subjects assigned to each dose level. Subjects will receive study drug treatment for 12 weeks. During the study, mPAP and other hemodynamic parameters from CardioMEMS PA Sensor will be measured and data captured once daily in the morning before the subject gets out of bed. The data will be transferred electronically to a repository. The analysis will look at the area under the curve (AUC) of mPAP and the doses will be compared to each other regarding change from Baseline. In addition to the CardioMEMS HF System measurements, the subjects will be followed for mortality and morbidity, important biomarkers as well as subjective, functional, and structural parameters of importance for PAH, for the duration of the study. Subjects will be enrolled for up to 22 weeks: a Screening Period of up to 2 weeks prior to the start of the Baseline Period, a Baseline Period of up to 6 weeks prior to Randomization, a Treatment Period of 12 weeks, and a Follow-up Period of 2 weeks. The primary objective of the study is to obtain safety and tolerability data.

In this study, we will assess the change of extended renin-angiotensin system including serum ACE-2 and angiotensin(1-7) levels and subclinical atherosclerosis after using fimasartan (an ARB), compared to amlodipine in hypertensive patients with T2DM.

The impact of daily spermidine application on arterial blood pressure and other secondary parameters will be evaluated in a double-blind single center 46 patients cross-over study.

Mounting preclinical and clinical evidences have proved the optimal role of diets (i.e. DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, Mediterranean diet) on BP control and a causal role of gut microbiota on the pathogenesis of primary hypertension. Dietary changes appeared to reshape gut microbiota and to ameliorate diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes. A hypothesis is thus raised that dietary changes can be a potential approach to ameliorate hypertension via gut microbiome restoration. This pilot study will utilize an innovative natural dietary formulation (patent ID: CN110250417A), in comparison with classic antihypertensive treatment (losartan 50mg per day) and usual care (guideline-based patient education and lifestyle recommendations), to investigate its effect and safety on primary hypertension treatment, and the underlying mechanisms of gut microbiome restoration.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate superiority of macitentan 75 milligrams (mg) in prolonging the time to the first clinical events committee (CEC)-adjudicated morbidity or mortality (M/M) event in participants with symptomatic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) compared to macitentan 10 mg.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the impact of a home-delivered foods and kitchen skills program on health and nutrition in adults with high blood pressure and food insecurity. Researchers will compare Food Resources & Kitchen Skills (FoRKS) and Enhanced Usual Care (EUC) to evaluate the effects on mean systolic blood pressure (SPB), HbA1c, food security and nutrition. Participants will complete 24-hr blood pressure monitoring, standard blood pressure measurements, weight, blood draw, and questionnaires.

The purpose of this study is to measure the long-term safety and efficacy profile of LTP001 in participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The study offers participants who had completed the CLTP001A12201 double-blind parent study in PAH an opportunity to receive LTP001 (whether they were on LTP001 or not). Unblinding of the treatment received in CLTP001A12201 is generally not needed, but can occur on request by the investigator.

The purpose of this 20-week randomized double-blind study in patients with resistant hypertension (rHTN) is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability, of different doses of XXB750 administered as subcutaneous (SC) injections, compared to placebo. Since all study participants will be patients with rHTN, all study treatments will be given on top of maximally tolerated background antihypertensive therapy recommended by international guidelines for treatment of HTN (i.e., a thiazide or a thiazide-like diuretic, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and a long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB).

This study will examine the effects of 4 months of aerobic interval training versus continuous aerobic training on ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) and novel plasma protein biomarkers in patients with resistant hypertension. In addition, we will measure ABP after a training cessation period of 3 months (i.e., 7 months follow-up). A randomized controlled trial will be performed including two exercise groups and a control group: a) moderate-intensity interval training (MIIT); b) moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT); c) usual care. MIIT could represent a superior training modality that exceeds the benefits of MICT in patients with resistant hypertension.
