Active clinical trials for "Essential Hypertension"

The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy and safety of the combination of Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs)(of the dihydropyridine class) or Diuretics (of the thiazide class) and olmesartan medoxomil in essential hypertensive patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with olmesartan medoxomil alone

This is a randomised, open-label; parallel group, multicentric study comparing the efficacy and safety of fixed-dose-combinations of Metoprolol XL plus Amlodipine with individual components of the combination. SelomaxTM50/5 will also be compared with SelomaxTM 25/2.5 in lowering of BP (SBP and DBP) in Indian patients with essential hypertension.Male and female patients of essential hypertension aged between 18-80 years will be studied. The patients should not have a history of prior cardiovascular disease.

This study will evaluate the long-term gastrointestinal (GI) safety and efficacy of aliskiren (300 mg) compared to ramipril (10mg) in patients ≥ 50 years with essential hypertension.

The purpose of this study is to determine the long term safety and tolerability of azilsartan medoxomil, once daily (QD), in participants with Essential Hypertension.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of azilsartan medoxomil combined with chlorthalidone, once daily (QD), in participants with moderate to severe essential hypertension.

This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, time-lagged, parallel-group study in healthy and hypertensive subjects to evaluate safety and tolerability of the vaccine CYT006-AngQb. The trial is double-blind for active vs. placebo within each treatment arm, but open with respect to AngQb dose escalation. In the first arm, 16 healthy normotensive volunteers are treated with a one dose regimen consisting of a single s.c. injection of 100µg of AngQb or placebo. Upon satisfying safety and tolerability profile, as judged by the independent safety monitoring board, arm two is enrolled. In arm two 36 patients with mild to moderate hypertension receive three s.c. injections of 100µg CYT006-AngQb (24 patients) or placebo (12 patients). The second and third injections are given 4 and 12 weeks after the first injection, respectively. Upon satisfying safety and tolerability profile, as judged by the independent safety monitoring board, arm three is enrolled. In arm three 36 patients with mild to moderate hypertension receive three s.c. injections of 300µg CYT006-AngQb (24 patients) or placebo (12 patients). The second and third injections are given 4 and 12 weeks after the first injection, respectively. The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate safety / tolerability of 3 dose regimens of CYT006-AngQb in healthy volunteers and patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension. Secondary objectives include the assessment of pharmacodynamic effects and their dose-response (immunogenicity and biomarkers of the renin-angiotensin system), and the exploration of clinical efficacy (effects on systolic and diastolic blood pressure)

The study will evaluate the blood pressure lowering effects of two different dosages of the combination of olmesartan and hydrochlorothiazide in patients with moderate or severe high blood pressure.

The study will evaluate the blood pressure lowering effects of two different dosages of the combination of olmesartan and hydrochlorothiazide in patients with moderate or severe high blood pressure.

The purpose of this 7- to 13-month study is to determine the efficacy of 8 mg/day oral perindopril to prevent the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with essential hypertension.

The primary objective of this study was to assess the anti-hypertensive effect of OM/HCTZ 40/12.5 mg combination therapy compared to OM 40 mg monotherapy in lowering sitting diastolic BP in hypertensive patients after 8 weeks of double-blind treatment. The study consisted of two sequential phases of 8 weeks duration each: During the first phase, OM 40 mg monotherapy was compared with OM/HCTZ 40/12.5 mg in order to evaluate the additional benefit of OM/HCTZ 40/12.5 mg in the treatment of essential moderate to severe hypertension. During the second phase, patients whose BP proved to be insufficiently controlled by the OM 40 mg monotherapy were to start OM/HCTZ 40/12.5 mg combination therapy while patients whose BP proved to be insufficiently controlled by the OM/HCTZ 40/12.5 mg combination were to be up-titrated to the OM/HCTZ 40/25 mg combination to evaluate the additional benefit of the up-titrated combination. The study was be conducted by qualified and experienced personnel with adherence to GCP, current guidelines on the design of studies in hypertension, the applicable regulatory requirements and the ethical principles based on the Declaration of Helsinki.
