NCT00244595
The objectives of this study are to describe candesartan cilexetil antihypertensive effects in terms of achieved blood pressure and hypertension control rates and the relationship between subject characteristics and antihypertensive efficacy, and between antihypertensive therapy (candesartan cilexetil dose and add-on treatments) and efficacy over a 1 year treatment period in hypertensive children ages 6 to \< 17 years; to describe growth in terms of height and weight in the study population; to describe change in neurocognition as assessed by the Full Scaled IQ score in a subset of study subjects; to determine the pharmacokinetics of candesartan in hypertensive paediatric subjects ages 6 to \< 17 years; and to describe safety including adverse events and adverse events necessitating study drug discontinuation including dose level and dose duration relationships and growth over a 1 year period in hypertensive children age 6 to \< 17 years.
NCT00331188
The main objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of early administration of Sanvar® in combination with endoscopic treatment for the control of acute variceal bleeding.
NCT00255528
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.
NCT00121147
The purpose of this study is to compare the additive effect on eye pressure of Azopt and Alphagan P to Travatan.
NCT00034307
This is a clinical research study designed to evaluate an investigational new medication called sitaxsentan for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (patients with NYHA functional class II, III or IV). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of two different doses of sitaxsentan, compared to placebo (inactive treatment) for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Patients who complete this trial may be eligible to take part in an extension trial (Protocol FPH01-X). Eligible patients who receive placebo in the 12-week study cross over to receive sitaxsentan for the extension trial.
NCT00018759
This study aims to determine if treatment with an SSRI antidepressant medication, paroxetine, is associated with cellular calcium response to serotonin, platelet serotonin receptors, and improvement in mood in depressed patients with or without hypertension. It is hypothesized that platelets of hypertensive patients with depressive symptomatology with be hyper-responsive to serotonin. Additionally, treatment with an SSRI antidepressant is expected to produce a down-regulation of the serotonin receptor with an associated reduction in platelet cytosolic calcium response as well as improved mood.
NCT00345774
This study is being conducted to see if PRX-08066 can lower pulmonary artery pressures in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
NCT00527514
This study will be conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of an amlodipine/olmesartan treatment regimen in stage 1 and stage 2 hypertensive subjects.
NCT00325962
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 6R-BH4 (sapropterin dihydrochloride) is safe and effective in the treatment of poorly controlled hypertension in the presence or absence of type 2 diabetes.
NCT00007592
Hypertension is one of the most common medical problems in the United States and in the VA health care system. It has been well-documented that hypertension can be effectively treated. However, there remain important unresolved clinical questions in the area of antihypertensive treatment. For example, how much is mortality affected by visit compliance, blood pressure control and type of antihypertensive agent? Or, are some regimens associated with more morbidity than others? Or, are there inexpensive regimens that are as effective as more expensive regimens? The amount of data that is available from this demonstration project (currently 6,100 patients) will help address these questions. The answers to these questions should result in better care for veterans with hypertension.
NCT00125918
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of tadalafil for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
NCT00160160
This study is to demonstrate the superiority of combination of eprosartan/HCTZ versus ramipril/HCTZ.
