Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

This proposed 2-stage randomized controlled trial (RCT) will evaluate a personalized patient-centered adherence intervention iTAB-CV + Self-Monitoring (iTAB-CV + SM) vs. Self-Monitoring (SM) alone in poorly adherent hypertensive persons with BD. This practical, technology-facilitated intervention has potential to improve adherence to antihypertensive medication and reduce SBP among high-risk individuals. The intervention is suitable for primary care or mental health settings and has potential for broad scale-up.

A PHASE 1/2A, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-MASKED, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED, MULTI-CENTER STUDY ASSESSING THE SAFETY, TOLERABILITY, AND EFFICACY OF FM101 IN PATIENTS WITH OCULAR HYPERTENSION, AND TO ASSESS THE RELATIVE BIOAVAILABILITY OF THE FM101 ORAL TABLET FORMULATION IN HEALTHY PARTICIPANTS

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of two educational interventions on adherence to blood pressure medications among adults with uncontrolled hypertension.

The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that distal renal denervation (RDN) may delay or prevent the progressive decline of renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension

An Investigator initiated trial (IIT) using a prospective, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled, clinical study design.

This will be a single center, Phase I/IB, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential SAD/MAD/FE study, with a patients arm. The study will be divided into three parts: Part A: SAD cohorts, with FE evaluation Part B: MAD cohorts with healthy volunteers Part C: MAD cohorts including naïve patients with mild to moderate hypertension and low cardiovascular risk The three parts will be completed sequentially or with partial overlapping.

To demonstrate that in patients with resistant hypertension oral treatment with minocycline via inhibition of central immune cell activation and inflammation results in reduced central sympathetic outflow and concomitant lowering of BP.

Kidney failure has been recognized as one of the most costly chronic conditions among United States Veterans. Approximately 13,000 Veterans develop kidney failure each year, and most require hemodialysis initiation. Hemodialysis patients suffer significantly increased risk of death and hospitalizations, and excessive body fluid is a major cause of this. While empiric aggressive fluid removal during dialysis is one approach to limit fluid overload, this can cause dangerous decreases in blood pressure during dialysis that independently contribute to the high death rate. In this study, I aim to test a new strategy that prescribes fluid removal based on a patient's recent blood pressure patterns during dialysis. This clinical trial will compare my strategy to standard care and assess the outcomes of overall blood pressure change between dialysis treatments in addition to the number of times the blood pressure becomes dangerously low during dialysis. Another aim is to determine how differences in the structure and function of the heart influence blood pressure during dialysis.

Treatment of O2 naïve patients with PAH will be included in this investigator-initiated trial (IIT) to assess efficacy and safety of oxygen substitution. Nocturnal oxygen substitution improved the 6MWD compared to placebo in one clinical trial in PAH patients. Due to the positive results in the treatment of patients with PAH, the initiation of this proof-of-concept study is justified.

The purpose of this study is to determine cultural and disease-related barriers and facilitators to following the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) dietary pattern among Black Americans with moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) and test the impact of a behavioral diet counseling intervention on DASH diet adherence, blood pressure, and CKD-relevant outcomes.
