Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

The objective of this study is to investigate corneal confocal microscopic findings, ocular signs and symptoms in patients on treatment with the preserved prostaglandin analogue latanoprost 0.005% eye drops (Xalatan®) and after the switch to preservative-free prostaglandin analog tafluprost 0.0015% eye drops (Taflotan®). Patients who have been using latanoprost as their prior medication (at least 6 months) and who fulfil all the inclusion criteria including the specified ocular symptoms and signs, will switch from latanoprost 0.005% eye drops to the assigned preservative-free tafluprost 0.0015% eye drops for twelve (12) months.

The purpose of the study is to compare the change from baseline in blood pressures (DBP/SBP) to 16-week regimen between Amtrel® and Co-Diovan®. The secondary objectives were listed as the following. To compare the response rate (defined as SBP < 130 mmHg and DBP < 80 mmHg) at the end of study To evaluate the change from baseline in albumin-to-creatinine ratio with antihypertensive medications in whole group (combined treatment groups) and each treatment group (Amtrel®, Co-Diovan®) at Week 16 The change from baseline in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 16 The change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) at Week 16 The change from baseline in fasting lipid profiles (triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) at Week 16 The change from baseline in arteriosclerosis marker (brachial-ankle pulse-wave velocity (ba-PWV) and ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI), using Colin-VP1000) at Week 16 The change from baseline on the body mass index (BMI) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) at each specified study time point To ascertain the safety and tolerability of Amtrel® versus Co-Diovan® including AE/SAE, and laboratory examinations

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the fixed dose combinations of azilsartan medoxomil plus chlorthalidone (40/12.5 and 40/25 mg), once daily, in participants with grades 2 or 3 essential hypertension who do not reach target blood pressure following treatment with 40 mg azilsartan medoxomil monotherapy after 4 weeks.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effect on six-minute walking test (6MWT) distance after 24 weeks treatment with subcutaneous (SC) Treprostinil Sodium in patients with Severe (inoperable) Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension.

This study is designed to assess safety and efficacy of tadalafil in patients with Sarcoidosis Associated Pulmonary Hypertension. Hypothesis: Tadalafil is safe and effective in treating pulmonary hypertension in patients with Sarcoidosis

The purpose of this study is to determine the blood pressure lowering responses of various dose combinations of nifedipine GITS and candesartan as compared to treatment with each component on their own (monotherapy) and placebo (a look-alike tablet without active ingredient). The drugs - nifedipine GITS and candesartan - which are being investigated are currently approved for use in patients with essential hypertension alone or together with other antihypertensive drugs (combination therapy), but the optimal dose of nifedipine GITS and candesartan used together in the treatment of essential hypertension has not been established yet. In this study patients will be treated with various doses of nifedipine GITS and/or candesartan or placebo. These different regimens will be administered once a day and will be assessed based on their blood pressure lowering effects (mean sitting diastolic blood pressure) in subjects with mild to moderate essential hypertension.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of Vasomera (PB1046) administered subcutaneously in adult subjects with Stage 1 or Stage 2 essential hypertension. The secondary objectives of the study are to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of single ascending doses of Vasomera and the relationship between serum concentrations of Vasomera and change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure as measured by: Mean change from baseline in 24-hour systolic and diastolic blood pressure measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) as compared to placebo. Identification of the minimum and maximum decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure as measured by ABPM. Mean change from baseline in cuff systolic and diastolic blood pressure as compared to placebo. Effect of Vasomera on pulse pressure and heart rate. An additional secondary objective of this study will be to characterize the immunogenicity profile of Vasomera following a single subcutaneous dose.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antihypertensive efficacy and safety of Fimasartan

This is a single-center, open label phase II study to evaluate the effect of inhaled nitrite delivered in a dose escalation manner on the change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in subjects with pulmonary hypertension undergoing right heart catheterization. A total of 50 subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension and meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study which will entail a single right heart catheterization and nebulized nitrite dose of 45mg with one subsequent dosage of 90 mg.

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and antihypertensive efficacy of MK-0954A (Losartan 50 mg / Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5 mg) in participants with mild to moderate essential hypertension.
