Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

To investigate the impact of antihypertensive therapy with the selective mineralocorticoid receptor blocker, eplerenone, on small resistance artery remodeling, compared to the effect of equivalent blood pressure control achieved with a b-blocker, atenolol.

To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and toleration of eplerenone in the treatment of children aged 6 to 16 years with high blood pressure. The study will last approximately 10 weeks and about 320 patients will participate.

To assess the long-term safety and toleration of eplerenone in the children aged 6 to 16 years with high blood pressure. The study will last at least 1 year and about 140 patients will participate.

The purpose of this study is to improve adherence to blood pressure (BP) monitoring and medication compliance in individuals with high BP.

This trial is designed to study the efficacy of an amlodipine besylate/benazepril treatment regimen versus an amlodipine treatment regimen in the treatment of severe hypertension.

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 establish the safety of clevidipine in the treatment of postoperative hypertension. Approximately 250-500 patients with postoperative hypertension after undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) or minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) surgery and/or valve replacement/repair procedures were anticipated to be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: clevidipine or nicardipine.

The purpose of this clinical research is to learn if moderate hypertension can be better controlled by initially treating with a combination of drugs (Irbesartan/HCTZ), in patients who are unlikely to achieve blood pressure (B/P) control with only one drug. In addition, the study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of the drugs.

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).
