NCT01070056
Poorly controlled hypertension (HTN) remains one of the most significant public health problems in the United States, in terms of morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. Despite compelling evidence supporting the beneficial effects of therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) on blood pressure (BP) reduction, their effectiveness remains untested in primary care practices, especially among minority patients who share a greater burden of HTN-related outcomes including chronic kidney disease, stroke and heart failure. This randomized controlled trial offers a unique opportunity to address this gap in the literature. Among 200 hypertensive African-Americans who receive care in community- based primary care practices, we will test the effectiveness of a culturally-tailored comprehensive therapeutic lifestyle intervention, delivered through group-based counseling and motivational interviewing (MINT-TLC) vs. Usual Care (UC). MINT-TLC is designed to help patients make appropriate TLC and develop skills to maintain these changes long-term. Patients in the MINT-TLC group will attend weekly group classes focused on TLC for 12 weeks (intensive phase); followed by individual motivational interviewing (MINT) sessions for 3 months (maintenance phase). Trained research personnel will deliver MINT-TLC with appropriate treatment fidelity procedures. Patients in the UC condition will receive a single individual counseling session on TLC and print versions of the intervention materials. The primary outcome is within-patient change in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure from baseline to 6 months. Secondary outcomes are levels of targeted therapeutic lifestyle behaviors; and proportion of patients with adequate blood pressure control at 6 months
NCT00324883
We plan to assess the accuracy of a new means of estimating urine sodium excretion. We will compare the chloride to creatinine ratio obtained by titrator sticks with urine sodium measured by a standard laboratory. If found to approximate sodium excretion, the titrator sticks could provide a convenient means for doctors and patients to monitor their salt intake.
NCT00370214
The REVEAL Registry™ is a multicenter, observational, U.S.-based study of the clinical course and disease management of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients. All consecutive consenting patients diagnosed with WHO Group I PAH according to specific hemodynamic criteria at participating institutions will be enrolled. Participating patients will be followed for a minimum of five years from the time of enrollment.
NCT00581607
Patients with advanced sarcoidosis often develop pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is a condition where the right side of the heart has to push the blood though the lungs at a higher pressure than normal. Since this pressure is higher, it is harder for the heart to pump the blood through the lungs to the left side of the body. If the blood can not get through the lungs, it can not get pumped through the rest of the body. This leads to weakness and shortness of breath. This type of hypertension does not usually respond to regular blood pressure medicines. The purpose of this study is to determine if bosentan (Tracleer) will help sarcoidosis associated pulmonary hypertension.
NCT00059306
The goal of this study is to learn if combination antiplatelet therapy (aspirin and clopidogrel) is more effective than aspirin alone for the prevention of recurrent stroke and cognitive decline, and if intensive blood pressure control is associated with fewer recurrent strokes and cognitive decline. On July 21, 2011 the DSMB recommended terminating the anti platelet arm of the study due to an imbalance of overall and major non-CNS hemorrhagic SAE's and total deaths in the investigational anti platelet combination of aspirin + clopidogrel and an interim statistical analysis that demonstrated futility in the investigational anti platelet arm. It was recommended that patients be continued on standard care of aspirin mono therapy until their study close-out visit. Also, recommended the continuation and completion of the plood pressure arm following the protocol.
NCT00723554
A Phase IIIb, Multicenter, Open-Label Study of Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Treated With Iloprost(Inhalation)Evaluating Safety and Inhalation Times When Converting From Power Disc-6 to Power Disc-15 With the I-neb® Adaptive Aerosol Delivery® System (I-neb® AAD®)
NCT00467896
A Comparison of Safety and Inhalation Times of Ventavis (iloprost) Inhalation Solution delivered by I-Neb Utilizing Power Disc-6 and Power Disc-15 "Power 15 Study"
NCT00760916
This study is an international, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in subjects with PAH who are currently receiving approved therapy for their PAH (i.e., endothelin receptor antagonist and/or phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor)or as a monotherapy treatment. Study visits will occur at 4 week intervals for 12 weeks with the key measure of efficacy being the 6-minute walk test. Study procedures include routine blood tests, medical history, physical exams, disease evaluation, and exercise tests. At the end of the first 12-weeks, the patient will be un-blinded. Patients will continue with another 12-Week open label portion with visits occuring at 4-week intervals. Patients who complete all assessments for 24-weeks will also be eligible to enter a 36 month open-label, extension phase study (FREEDOM - EXT).
NCT00617305
To evaluate the change from baseline in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), and other hemodynamic parameters, following the addition of ambrisentan to background phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitor (PDE-5i) therapy in subjects with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who have demonstrated a sub-optimal response to PDE-5i monotherapy. The study was originally designed as a 2-arm, double-blind, randomized study in which patients received ambrisentan or placebo for 24 weeks, and then received ambrisentan blinded to dose for 24 weeks. With Protocol Amendment 2 (12 June, 2009), the study was switched to single-arm, open-label treatment, and all patients remaining in the placebo arm were switched to open-label ambrisentan treatment. Patients who enrolled after Amendment 2 all received open-label ambrisentan.
NCT01031680
This study is carried out to assess whether dapagliflozin lowers blood glucose, body weight and blood pressure, when added to patients existing medications and how it compares with their usual treatment without added dapagliflozin. Safety data will be collected and analysed to confirm that treatment with dapagliflozin is safe and well tolerated in patients who have diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension.
NCT01120613
Hypertension (HTN) affects up to 75% of kidney transplant recipients and is associated with premature death. Nocturnal HTN is a common complication of ongoing essential HTN or a secondary cause of HTN. Both the non dipping of systolic blood pressure (SBP) at night time and the reverse dipping is associated with increased target organ damage and adverse cardiovascular outcomes and possibly allograft survival. Treatment of Nocturnal HTN is critical. Chronotherapy has been shown to be effective in halting progression in patients with diabetic nephropathy and chronic kidney disease. There is not enough data on prevalence and management of nocturnal HTN in transplant patients, which is the object of this study.
NCT00625963
Current standard of the diagnosis and monitoring of PHNT requiring combination of invasive and non-invasive tests. The goal of the study is to correlate data from CT scans, echocardiograms, right heart catheterization, PFTs, sleep studies, and perfusion scans. The ultimate goal is to determine patterns of the PAH disease processes.
NCT00902304
