Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

Efficacy and safety evaluation of tolvaptan in the treatment of patients with right heart failure caused by pulmonary arterial hypertension

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AD-209

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of once daily oral inhalation dose of MK-5475 380 µg in participants 40 to 80 years (inclusive) with Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (PH-COPD). The primary hypothesis of the study is MK-5475, a soluble Guanylate Cyclase (sGC) stimulator is superior to placebo in increasing 6 Minute Walking Distance (6MWD) from baseline at Week 24.

To explore whether the application of intelligent hypertension management system can effectively reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients. A total of 320 eligible subjects will be recruited and randomization to two groups. The standard care group (n=160) will receive conventional hypertension treatment with baseline data collected.Wearable blood pressure monitoring device management group (intervention group, n=160) will receive blood pressure monitoring remotely everyday and antihypertension medication treatment. Primary outcome is Net change in systolic blood pressure from baseline to 3 months follow-up. Secondary outcomes include Net change in diastolic blood pressure hypertension control ratio (BP < 140/90 mmHg)

The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BR1015 Combination therapy group in comparison with Fimasartan monotherapy group at Week 8 for essential hypertension patients who do not adequately responded by Fimasartan 30 mg

The investigators are doing this research study to compare whole body aerobic training with isolated leg training (with weights) and its impact on effectiveness in symptoms and quality of life in patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).

The trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of 3 dose regimens of H-1337 [0.6% twice daily (b.i.d.), 1.0% b.i.d. and 1.0% once in the morning (q.a.m.), and timolol maleate (0.5%, b.i.d.) in both eyes for 28 days.

The ERSHAM (Effect of Renal Denervation on Stress, Hypertension and Anxiety Management) is a single-center, interventional, open-label, randomized controlled trial that will be conducted at the Hypertension Unit "ESH Excellence Center'', 1st Cardiology Department of the Medical School of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens at the General Hospital of Athens "Hippokration", which is the reference center for uncontrolled hypertension and for sympathetic renal denervation (RDN) in our region. Sixty (60) consecutive patients aged 30-70 years with uncontrolled arterial hypertension either under anti-hypertensive treatment with 1 drug [at least 50% of maximum manufacturer's recommended dosage of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)/ angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) or a calcium channel blocker (CCB)] or naïve from antihypertensive treatment and HADS (Hospital anxiety and depression scale) anxiety subscore ≥ 8 will be enrolled (Figure 1). Patients will be randomized in a 1: 1 ratio to endovascular ultrasound RDN (Paradise renal denervation system, ReCor, CA, USA) (RDN) (n= 30) or to control group (n= 30). Baseline clinical data, cardiovascular risk factors, medical history as well as medication will be recorded in each group. After the randomization, patients who will be randomized to RDN group will undergo a computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) of the renal arteries in order to assess whether the renal arteries' anatomy is suitable for RDN by using the Paradise system. The images of the CTA/MRA will be uploaded onto BIOCLINICA web-based portal in order to optimize device use (RDN catheter) and location of ablations. Patients will not change their antihypertensive medications during the 3 months follow -up. After that, their management will be evaluated based on the current 2018 ESC/ESH guidelines. Possible RDN-related adverse events will be recorded during the follow-up period. Blood pressure (BP) will be measured by office BP measurements as well as 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Anxiety and depression will be evaluated by the self-assessment hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS). Stress management will be evaluated via Perceived Stress Scale-14 (PSS-14). To assess the quality of life (QoL) the health status questionnaire (SF-12) will be used. The social readjustment rating scale will be used in order to evaluate the probability of developing a stress-related disorder during the follow-up period. Finally, a questionnaire for personal stress due to high blood pressure will be applied at the baseline and at the end of the follow-up period. Patients will be followed-up for 6 months after the randomization. A total of three (3) follow-up visits for each patient will be scheduled during the 6-month follow-up period of the study [1st (adverse events review), 3rd, and 6th month after the randomization). If there is a failure in reaching the office BP <140/90mmHg at the 3rd and 6th month, the antihypertensive therapy will be reevaluated according to the current ESH/ESC Guidelines. All patients will give written informed consent and the study will be organized according to ethical considerations, as described in the Declaration of Helsinki for human medical studies, and the protocol will be approved by the institutional medical ethics committee.

The overarching goal of our proposal is to reduce disparities in perinatal cardiovascular disease risk factors among Black women utilizing a community-driven, social ecological framework.

To evaluate safety and the ocular hypotensive effect of STN1012600 ophthalmic solution 0.002% alone or in combination with Timolol ophthalmic solution 0.5% for 52 weeks in subjects with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
