NCT03132428
Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the arteries to the lungs. It is a serious condition. It causes the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs to become hard and narrow. When this happens, the heart has to work harder to pump the blood through. Some babies are born with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Doctors might use INOmax (a gas the baby breathes) to help newborn babies (neonates) with PH. This study will use information from the records of registered babies to see how effective and safe INOmax is for treating premature and other newborn babies for up to 11 days after they are born.
NCT03767803
Whole blood sample procurement study from pregnant women with signs and symptoms of Preeclampsia.
NCT03352882
Pilot study examining changes in liver stiffness measured by ultrasound before and after TIPS creation
NCT02371317
The purpose of this research study is to examine the efficacy of two stress management interventions in reducing blood pressure (BP) in patients who have prehypertension (BP between 120/80 and 139/89). It is expected that participants will be better able to control their BP through reducing stress and increasing healthy lifestyle behaviors.
NCT03865576
For purposes of validation, this study compares intracranial pressure measurements obtained with a novel self-calibrating, non-invasive, intracranial pressure measuring (ICP) device, with the values obtained from (a) patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) whose meet standard clinical indications for ICP measurement and whose ICP is measured using gold-standard implanted intracranial instrumentation and in (b) ambulatory subjects who meet clinical indications for lumbar puncture.
NCT01841762
SYMPHONY is prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm, Phase 3b psychometric validation study of the PAH-SYMPACT, a new quality of life questionnaire for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Patients will be in the study for 5 1/2 months, 4 months of which they will receive macitentan, 10 mg, once daily. The primary objectives are to demonstrate the final content validity of the PAH SYMPACT instrument, to demonstrate the psychometric characteristics of reliability and construct validity of the PAH-SYMPACT instrument, and to demonstrate the ability of the PAH SYMPACT instrument to detect change. The secondary objective is to assess the safety of macitentan in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The exploratory objective is to explore the effects of macitentan on PAH symptoms and their impact (as measured by the PAH-SYMPACT) in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
NCT02341664
The purpose of the Patient and Provider Assessment of Lipid Management Registry (PALM) is to gain a better understanding of physicians' cholesterol medication prescribing practices, patient and physician attitudes and beliefs related to cholesterol management, and current utilization of cholesterol-lowering therapies given the new ACC/AHA guideline recommendations. The PALM Registry hopes to allow for the design of ways to improve cholesterol management and decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the US.
NCT00673790
This study is being done to see if the blood pressure and metabolic effects of an approved drug nebivolol is comparable to that of another approved drug hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) and placebo in hypertensive patients.
NCT02057575
To evaluate the ocular hypotensive efficacy of PG324 ophthalmic solution relative to its individual components in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
NCT00626028
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the number of participants with reversible pulmonary hypertension (vasoreactivity) due to nitric oxide for inhalation and oxygen as compared to 100% oxygen.
NCT01420068
52-104 week off-therapy second extension to study CSPP100A2365 to assess growth and development in pediatric hypertensive patients previously treated with aliskiren in studies SPP100A2365 and SPP100A2365E1
NCT04466501
The ACR LAB is a prescription-only, nurse- or clinician-conducted in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device. The test is for the qualitative and semi- quantitative detection of Albumin, Creatinine, and the Albumin-to- Creatinine Ratio. The device is composed of a kit and a smartphone application using an image recognition algorithm. The degree of agreement of the ACR \| LAB as compared to the comparator device will be tested. Urine samples will be tested by a separate professional user on each device.
NCT01203423
This study was an observational study to estimate the prevalence of Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) among term or near-term infants with severe respiratory disease.
NCT02234141
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of selonsertib (GS-4997) on pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), as measured by right heart catheterization (RHC) in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The study will consist of a 24-week placebo-controlled treatment period and a long-term selonsertib treatment period. Participants completing the 24-week placebo-controlled period will be eligible to receive active treatment with selonsertib in the long-term treatment period.
NCT01467076
This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) on the use of Inhaled prostaglandin E1 (IPGE1) in Neonatal Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure (NHRF). Fifty patients recruited at 10 high volume sites within the NICHD Neonatal Research Network will constitute a pilot sample to evaluate the feasibility and safety of prolonged IPGE1 administration and determination of optimal dose. In this Pilot RCT, two doses of IPGE1 (300 and 150 ng/kg/min) will be administered over a maximum duration of 72 hours and compared with placebo. Once feasibility and safety of IPGE1 administered over 72 hours has been demonstrated in the pilot trial, a full scale randomized controlled trial will be planned.
NCT03177603
GSK2586881, a purified intravenous (IV) formulation of soluble recombinant human Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (rhACE2) is being investigated as a treatment for PAH. This GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GSK2586881 in subjects with PAH. This open-label, dose-escalation study will comprise of 4 separate groups based on the planned dose range, and subjects in each group will be administered a single dose of GSK2586881 ranging between 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) via IV route. Dose escalation will occur after 4 subjects have been dosed per cohort and review of safety, tolerability, PK and hemodynamic data up to 24 hours post dose has taken place. A maximum of 27 subjects will be included in the study and the total duration of the study will be up to a maximum of 59 days.
NCT00792571
This is an open-label extension study for patients who participated in the BPS-MR-PAH-201 study.
NCT02070991
Study to evaluate if macitentan is safe and tolerable enough to be used for treatment of subjects with combined pre- and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension (CpcPH) due to left ventricular dysfunction.
NCT01826019
The overall objective of the HOPE-4 Phases (HT and CVD) is to develop, implement and evaluate an evidence-based, contextually appropriate programme for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment, treatment and control involving: (1) simplified algorithms implemented by non-physician health workers (NPHW) and supported by e-health technologies (tablets programmed with decision and counselling support software); (2) initiation of evidence-based cardiovascular (CV) medications and (3) treatment supporters to optimize long-term medication and lifestyle adherence.
