Active clinical trials for "Hypertension, Pulmonary"

This is a Phase 2, Placebo Controlled, Double-Blind, Randomized, Clinical Study to Determine Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Pulsed, Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) Versus Placebo as Add-on Therapy in Symptomatic Subjects with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).

This is a four-part study of the safety, tolerability, and PK profile of sodium nitrite inhalation solution (AIR001) of ascending multiple doses (Part A) and of escalating doses with steady-state sildenafil (Part B) to healthy male and female subjects, as well as assessment of the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of AIR001 to patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (part C) with a single dose PK study of AIR001 utilizing three different nebulizers (Part D).

The purpose of the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of adding simvastatin to the current conventional treatment regimen for the management of pulmonary hypertension.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a larger dose of the aldosterone antagonist spironolactone combined with an ACE inhibitor (captopril) and a beta-blocker (carvedilol) is effective in reverse pulmonary artery remodeling in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)secondary to congenital heart disease

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether iloprost inhalation solution is safe in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and elevated pulmonary arterial pressure. The secondary purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment in subjects with this disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Thelin™ (sitaxsentan sodium) compared to placebo (sugar pill) in the treatment of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of chronic TRACLEER® treatment on testicular function via semen analysis in male patients with primary pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

OBJECTIVES: I. Provide epoprostenol (Flolan, prostaglandin I2) by chronic infusion to patients with severe primary pulmonary hypertension for whom no alternative therapy is available. II. Obtain additional safety information on continuous infusion epoprostenol. III. Obtain additional information on economic resource health consumption.

Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a hemodynamic and physiopathological condition that is defined as an increase in pulmonary artery pressure ≥25 mmHg when measured at resting with symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue, chest pain, and syncope. PH characterized by decreased exercise capacity, quality of life, peripheral muscle strength, balance, and physical inactivity. It is recommended that patients with PH should be included in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs in addition to medical treatment. Ground-based walking training is a safe and effective method for COPD patients. In the literature, there are no studies evaluating the effects of ground-based walking training in PH patients.

This study will compare the clinical efficacy of inhaled iloprost as an invasive, selective vasodilator in the cardiac catheterization laboratory in patients with pulmonary hypertension to the gold standard of inhaled nitric oxide. It will also examine whether echocardiographic estimates of response to inhaled iloprost can predict responsiveness to invasive vasodilator testing in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
