Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

In this study effect of NHF on pulmonary thermodynamic parameters will studied.

This is a randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effects of NSK-SD consumption in subjects with Stage I hypertension. The study population will be randomized into two groups, where both groups will receive dietary and lifestyle recommendations to help reduce hypertension. One group will receive placebo and the other group NSK-SD for 8 weeks. The endpoint will be the change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after 8 weeks of treatment in the two subject groups.

The purpose of this study is to explore the optimal dose of fixed-dose combination of candesartan cilexetil and amlodipine besylate by examining the safety and efficacy of the combination therapy compared to each of the monotherapy in patients with essential hypertension.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a rapid dose titration regimen of subcutaneous Remodulin® therapy in patients with PAH.

The aim of this pilot randomized controlled blinded study is to evaluate the feasibility of using nebulized magnesium sulfate in the treatment of PPHN.

A Randomized, Double-blind, Multicenter, Factorial Design, Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Irbesartan and Amlodipine Combined or Alone in Patients With Essential Hypertension

Introduction - Hypertension is the commonest medical complication of pregnancy. When severe, it puts the lives of both the mother and the unborn baby at risk. Therefore, immediate lowering of blood pressure is indicated whenever this is detected. Different anti-hypertensive drugs are being used to that effect, but more commonly these include: hydralazine, labetalol and nifedipine. Nifedipine, despite being cheap, readily available, safe in pregnancy and easy to administer, is hardly utilized for this purpose in our setting. Hydralazine is usually used instead. Objectives - This will be: to determine the efficacy of nifedipine and compare it with that of hydralazine, which is more commonly used, and to compare their maternal and fetal side effect profile. Materials and methods - This will be a prospective randomized controlled open label study of nifedipine versus hydralazine. Patients will be assigned to different arms of the study using computer-generated random numbers. Efficacy and adverse effects of the drugs will be noted on each arm of the study. Data will be collated, tabulated and then statistically analysed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). Conclusion - The outcome of the study will enable recommendation to be made on the use of nifedipine for severe hypertension if found to be effective.

The primary objective for this trial is to determine the effect of GB002 (seralutinib) on improving pulmonary hemodynamics in subjects with World Health Organization (WHO) Group 1 PAH who are Functional Class (FC) II and III. The secondary objective for this trial is to determine the effect of GB002 (seralutinib) on improving exercise capacity in this population.

Background Hospital-based walking exercise tests are routinely used in patients with pulmonary hypertension to assess functional ability and disease progression over time. We are seeing a greater emphasis on non-face-to-face clinical assessments, where such tests cannot be conducted. It is important to identify alternative tests which can be which can be conducted by patients at home and used to support clinical decision making. Aim To test the safety of the 1-minute sit-to-stand test in patients with pulmonary hypertension and its comparability with hospital-based walking exercise tests. Methods A sample of 75 patients attending hospital appointments will carry out an Incremental Shuttle Walk Test, followed by a 1-minute sit-to-stand test after a 30 minute rest. Data will be analysed for safety and comparability between the 2 tests. In the event of favourable findings (safety and comparability) from the hospital-based testing, a further sample of patients will be asked to perform the 1-minute sit-to-stand test in the home setting

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sotatercept (MK-7962) treatment (plus background pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapy) versus placebo (plus background PAH therapy) at 24 weeks in adults with PAH. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the participants receiving sotatercept will have improved 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) at 24 weeks compared to participants receiving placebo.
