Active clinical trials for "Essential Hypertension"

This is a Phase 4, prospective, multi-centric and randomized controlled study to compare the effects of bisoprolol and atenolol on resting heart rate (RHR) and sympathetic nervous system's (SNS) activity in subjects with essential hypertension.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the fixed dose combinations of azilsartan medoxomil plus chlorthalidone (40/12.5 and 40/25 mg), once daily, in participants with grades 2 or 3 essential hypertension who do not reach target blood pressure following treatment with 40 mg azilsartan medoxomil monotherapy after 4 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to determine the blood pressure lowering responses of various dose combinations of nifedipine GITS and candesartan as compared to treatment with each component on their own (monotherapy) and placebo (a look-alike tablet without active ingredient). The drugs - nifedipine GITS and candesartan - which are being investigated are currently approved for use in patients with essential hypertension alone or together with other antihypertensive drugs (combination therapy), but the optimal dose of nifedipine GITS and candesartan used together in the treatment of essential hypertension has not been established yet. In this study patients will be treated with various doses of nifedipine GITS and/or candesartan or placebo. These different regimens will be administered once a day and will be assessed based on their blood pressure lowering effects (mean sitting diastolic blood pressure) in subjects with mild to moderate essential hypertension.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of Vasomera (PB1046) administered subcutaneously in adult subjects with Stage 1 or Stage 2 essential hypertension. The secondary objectives of the study are to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of single ascending doses of Vasomera and the relationship between serum concentrations of Vasomera and change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure as measured by: Mean change from baseline in 24-hour systolic and diastolic blood pressure measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) as compared to placebo. Identification of the minimum and maximum decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure as measured by ABPM. Mean change from baseline in cuff systolic and diastolic blood pressure as compared to placebo. Effect of Vasomera on pulse pressure and heart rate. An additional secondary objective of this study will be to characterize the immunogenicity profile of Vasomera following a single subcutaneous dose.

Randomized, open label, single dose, 4-way crossover study to investigate the bioequivalence of a new fixed dose combination tablet of nifedipine GITS and candesartan with the corresponding loose combination and to compare it with the individual drugs

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fixed combination of lercanidipine (10 mg or 20 mg) and valsartan (80 mg or 160 mg), lercanidipine and valsartan alone in reducing blood pressure. The study will investigate the dose response relationship for the combinations and monotherapies.

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of the single pill combination of Aliskiren and Amlodipine in patients with moderate hypertension not adequately responding to a single pill combination of Olmesartan and Amlodipine. Further this study will also assess the efficacy and safety of a single pill combination of Aliskiren, Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in patients with moderate hypertension not adequately responding to a single pill combination of Aliskiren and Amlodipine.

This is a clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of long term administration of oral BAYA1040 CR 80 mg/day (40 mg twice daily) in patients with essential hypertension for whom the test drug is tolerable during the 8 week double blind treatment phase of Study 13176.

The study medication CYT006-AngQb is a vaccine, consisting of angiotensin II (Ang II), the naturally occurring octapeptide coupled onto the surface of virus-like particles (VLP). This form of presenting Ang II to the immune system induces a B-cell mediated immune response characterized by the generation of specific antibodies (IgG and IgM) against Ang II. The CYT006-AngQb vaccine is administered by subcutaneous (s.c.) injection. Immunization against angiotensin II may offer a valuable alternative to conventional drugs for the treatment of hypertension.

Test the efficacy and safety of the combination of olmesartan and amlodipine in hypertensive patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with olmesartan alone.
