Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether doses of 30 mg and 45 mg AZD2171 can be well tolerated without significant drug withdrawal when accompanied by a suitable hypertension management strategy or dose reduction.

This was a 4-week, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel-group study to determine the antihypertensive dose range, efficacy, safety and tolerability of TOPROL-XL ® (metoprolol succinate) extended-release tablets (metoprolol CR/XL) in hypertensive pediatric subjects. The study population included school age children (age 6 to < Tanner Stage 3) and adolescents (> Tanner Stage 3 to age 16) of both genders. No more than 50% of the randomized subjects could be adolescents (> Tanner Stage 3 to 16 years old). Since response to some therapies in adult hypertension appears to be different in black and non-black populations, recruitment was aimed at a mixture of black and non-black children. The design included a 1-week screening period (for treatment naive subjects), a 1-week single-blind placebo run-in period, and a 4-week double-blind treatment period. Eligible subjects were randomized to the double-blind period with a once daily oral dose of metoprolol CR/XL to one of three target doses: 0.2, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/kg, or placebo. Dosing was weight adjusted. The dose range for this study was 12.5 to 200 mg daily. Subjects were closely monitored and evaluated at the end of Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4 during the double-blind treatment period.

The purpose of this study is to provide data on the dose response of simvastatin in lowering LDL-C when it is co-administered with valsartan in patients with both essential hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. The primary objective of the study will be to show that the combination of valsartan 160mg/simvastatin 40mg has superior efficacy compared to the combination of valsartan 160mg/simvastatin 20mg in percentage change from baseline in LDL-C.

This study is to compare the efficacy and safety of increasing doses of SLV306 with amlodipine.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate efficacy and safety of Moxonidine in Indian subjects.

Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tadalafil when administered once daily at doses of 5 and 20 mg to adult subjects for 8 weeks with mild to moderate hypertension.

To determine the safety and IOP-lowering ability of a test compound in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic Solution, 0.15% in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Because blood pressure affects the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and the entire body, it is important to keep it as normal as possible. There are several different ways to control blood pressure and to prevent or limit the development of heart disease due to high blood pressure. The purpose of this study is to compare two treatments to see how well they work and the difference in their side effects. One treatment includes the use of a calcium antagonist drug (Isoptin sustained release [SR] or Verapamil SR). The other treatment excludes the calcium antagonist and may include a non-calcium antagonist drug called a beta blocker (Tenormin or Atenolol). Both treatments may also include medication called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and water pills. None of the drugs in this study are experimental, they are all approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

To estimate the frequency of patients with ocular/periorbital adverse events. To identify any possible long-term adverse consequences of increased iris pigmentation and to follow serious adverse events throughout the study period.
