NCT03970590
In this study the investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial aimed at improving hypertension self-management and lowering blood pressure (BP) in African-American Veterans. In this study, the investigators 'begin the conversation' by showing previously created videos to Veteran participants, inviting them to select the peer narrative that is most compelling. The investigators then 'continue the conversation', offering longitudinal support via 6 months of narrative-aligned text messages. Texts will cover key subject areas, providing education, reminders and periodic assessments, and include quotations derived from and aligned with transcripts from the chosen narrative. The investigators will measure the intervention's impact on BP, self-efficacy and self-management behaviors, and conduct a cost analysis.
NCT03197688
The Opsumit Users registry (OPUS; NCT02126943) was developed to characterize the safety profile of Opsumit and to describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients newly treated with Opsumit in the post-marketing setting. It is expected that the recruitment target of the OPUS registry cannot be achieved within the planned time period (5000 Opsumit new users by October 2018). The OrPHeUS study is designed to supplement the OPUS registry with retrospectively identified first-time Opsumit users in order to achieve the desired sample size.
NCT05335122
To assess efficacy, and safety of a single sustained release dose of the OTX-TIC drug product (2 travoprost dose strengths) in subjects with Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG) or Ocular Hypertension (OHT)
NCT04720456
Early diagnosis of portal hypertension is difficult as symptoms rarely manifest until the later stages of liver disease. Both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic portal hypertension can result in life-threatening complications, the most frequent of which is bleeding from esophageal varices. In children, variceal bleeds are associated with mortality rates of 1-3 %, while life-threatening complications have been reported in up to 20 % of children with cirrhosis. Despite the high incidence of portal hypertension in children with liver disease, a noninvasive modality to monitor disease progression and risk of complications is currently lacking. Hence, this trial will investigate the safety and efficacy of subharmonic aided pressure estimation (SHAPE) as a noninvasive ultrasound technique for diagnosing portal hypertension in children.
NCT05337943
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-I) is a common treatment for insomnia that does not use medications. While CBT-I is effective for insomnia, it does not tend to improve the waking symptom of fatigue. Another treatment, Bright Light Therapy, is used for treating seasonal depression and sleep disorders, and may improve fatigue and physical activity in individuals with PAH. The purpose of this study to assess the effects of Bright Light Therapy compared to CBT-I to treat insomnia and fatigue in patients with PAH.
NCT06074601
The goal of this observational study is to develop and validate cell-free RNA-based biomarkers for predicting a variety of adverse pregnancy outcomes in a pregnant person population. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. Can cell-free RNA-based biomarkers predict which pregnant people are at greatest risk of developing adverse pregnancy outcomes (e.g., preterm birth, preeclampsia)? 2. What is the performance of such biomarkers when predicting an adverse pregnancy outcome (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, TPR)?
NCT03541603

NCT06350604
This study is designed to test the feasibility and acceptability of a new method for supporting physical activity among women ages 40-65 who have risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Each participant receives a trained physical activity coach and a physical activity partner; the partner is another woman in the program. Partners communicate with each other between weekly coaching sessions to provide support for physical activity behavior change.
NCT07071077
The purpose of this study is to assess if storytelling is an effective approach for promoting lifestyle and behavioral change among individuals managing hypertension and to determine if storytelling interventions can help to reduce blood pressure and improve medication adherence.
NCT00667823
The main objective of the AC 055 303/SERAPHIN OL study, which will follow the AC 055 302/SERAPHIN study, will be to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of ACT 064992 in patients with symptomatic PAH.
NCT04714320
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of IONIS-AGT-LRx compared to placebo on seated automated office systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline to Study Day 85 in uncontrolled hypertensive participants on ≥ 3 antihypertensive medications and to evaluate the effect of IONIS-AGT-LRx on ambulatory blood pressure, seated automated office SBP, seated automated office diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and plasma angiotensinogen (AGT) at each scheduled visit in uncontrolled hypertensive participants on ≥ 3 antihypertensive medications.
NCT05459688
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label extension (OLE) study to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of CIN-107 for up to 52 weeks in patients with HTN who have completed Part 1 or Part 2 of Study CIN-107-124. The study will be conducted at clinical sites that have participated in the double-blind, Phase 2 Study CIN-107-124.
NCT04732221
This is a two-part (Phase 2/Phase 3) study of frespaciguat, an inhaled soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator, in participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The first part (Phase 2) will assess three different doses of frespaciguat compared to placebo in a base period of 12 weeks, followed by comparison of three different doses of frespaciguat during an optional 40 month extension period. The treatment dose with the best efficacy and safety profile in the phase 2 cohort base period will be selected for use in the second part (Phase 3) of the study. The primary hypothesis of Phase 2 is that at least one frespaciguat dose is superior to placebo in reducing pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) from baseline at week 12. The purpose of the second part (Phase 3) of the study is to confirm the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of frespaciguat at the selected dose compared to placebo during a 12 week base period followed by an extension period of up to 5 years. The primary hypothesis of Phase 3 is that frespaciguat is superior to placebo in increasing 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) from baseline at week 12. Due to sponsor's decision this phase/part was not conducted.
NCT02235909
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the study drug relative to an active comparator losartan which is in the same class of drug and is approved for use in the pediatric population aged 6 years and older. Approximately 260 subjects will participate in a 6-week, double-blind, randomized, treatment phase, followed by a 2-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled withdrawal phase. A 44-week, open-label extension in which all subjects will receive azilsartan and other antihypertensive medications (if needed). Blood pressure will be assessed throughout the study.
NCT02991534
Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the number one cause of death in American women, and all adult women are potentially at risk for CV disease. There are clear gender differences in the control of CV risk factors such as lipids, blood pressure, and intermediate diabetes outcomes nationally and within the VA, with women Veterans often at higher CV risk than their male counterparts. The combination of disparities and gender-specific CV risk factors suggest an urgent need for CV risk factor management in women Veterans. As one project in the Enhancing Mental and Physical health of Women through Engagement and Retention (EMPOWER) QUERI, the objectives of "Facilitating Cardiovascular Risk Screening and Risk Reduction in Women Veterans" are to implement and evaluate a CV risk reduction toolkit (CV toolkit) designed to increase identification of CV risk among Women Veterans, enhance patient/provider communication about their risk, and increase Women Veterans' engagement and retention in relevant health services including referrals to key health programs (e.g., MOVE!, dieticians, health coaches, and CV specialists as needed). The initial CV Toolkit includes four components: (1) Patient education/activation tools including educational materials and a patient CV self-screener to help make CV risk discussion a priority for women before they enter the exam room; (2) A CV risk assessment computerized template to systematically capture CV disease risk factor history and data from the medical record and then facilitate referrals to Gateway to Healthy Living program and other CV risk reduction services/programs; (3) Provider information and education programs as well as referral tools to internal services; and (4) The Gateway to Healthy Living, a facilitated goal-setting group tailored for women Veterans. The goal is to implement the CV Toolkit at four VA facilities with comprehensive women's health clinics. The implementation of the CV Toolkit will be evaluated using a non-randomized stepped wedge design and will apply the evidence-based Replicating Effective Programs (REP) implementation strategy. For the nonrandomized stepped wedge design, each phase represents when one site moved from inactive to active implementation. It was pre-specified for the non-randomized design to evaluate the outcomes as the odds ratio of active intervention versus inactive for the overall study period and not by individual site/phase. This is a function of the use of the non-randomized design. Since the order of sites being introduced into the active intervention is not random, probabilistically the individual site results are not as meaningful here as they would be in a randomized stepped wedge design. Also, mixed methods implementation evaluations will focus on investigating primary implementation outcomes of adoption, acceptability, feasibility, and reach. Multilevel stakeholder engagement will be prioritized. Program-wide organizational-, provider-, and patient-level measures and tools will be utilized to enhance synergy, productivity, impact and facilitate spread.
