NCT07181109
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether zilebesiran versus placebo reduces the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), nonfatal stroke, or heart failure (HF) events. This is an event-driven study that will continue until the targeted number of positively adjudicated primary endpoint clinical outcome events (COEs) have been reached.
NCT04258813
The proposed ONE TEAM Study is an 18-month, cluster randomized controlled trial. This study will use a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) design with a second randomization for the intervention group using a dynamic treatment regimen approach. The investigators propose to randomize 800 adults with newly-diagnosed selected cancers treated with curative intent (breast, prostate, colorectal, endometrial, non-small cell lung, and endometrial) and with \>1 selected cardiovascular disease (CVD) comorbidity (hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia). Participants will be enrolled through Duke Cancer Institute and two community-based oncology practices, both settings serving socio-demographically diverse populations. The unit of randomization will be the PCP clinic; there will be \~80 PCP clinics across North Carolina involved in the study. The overarching goals of this study are to improve chronic disease management and communication among cancer survivors by engaging PCPs as active members of the cancer care team and reframing the message to cancer survivors and providers. A diversity supplement with retrospective and qualitative components has been added to abstract older adults with solid tumors who underwent cancer surgery at DUHS. Aims include (1) to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular complications ≤90 postoperative days among older adults with solid tumors undergoing surgery, and its association with care coordination between surgical providers and PCPs ; (2) to develop a risk index for cardiovascular complications ≤90 days of surgery among older adult patients with a solid tumor; and (3) to Assess experience and perceptions of PCPs on care coordination with surgical providers of older adults with a solid tumor following cancer surgery.
NCT07135505
The purpose of this study is to find out how early time-restricted eating affects body rhythms and improves cardiometabolic health in older adults.
NCT07421388
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and the safety after administration of BR1015-A and co-administration of BR1015-1 and BR1015-2 in healthy volunteers under fed conditions
NCT00011648
The purpose of this study is to determine how often people with sickle cell anemia develop pulmonary hypertension a serious disease in which blood pressure in the artery to the lungs is elevated. Men and women 18 years of age and older with sickle cell anemia may be eligible for this study. Participants will undergo an evaluation at Howard University s Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center in Washington, D.C. or at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. It will include the following: * medical history * physical examination * blood collection (no more than 50 ml., or about 1/3 cup) to confirm the diagnosis of sickle cell anemia, sickle cell trait or beta-thalassemia (Some blood will be stored for future research testing on sickle cell anemia.) * echocardiogram (ultrasound test of the heart) to check the pumping action of the heart and the rate at which blood travels through the tricuspid valve. Following this evaluation, a study nurse will contact participants twice a month for 2 months and then once every 3 months for the next 3 years for a telephone interview. The interview will include questions about general health and recent health-related events, such as hospitalizations or emergency room visits.
NCT07421401
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and the safety after administration of BR1015-A and co-administration of BR1015-3 and BR1015-2 in healthy volunteers under fasting conditions
NCT07421414
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and the safety after administration of BR1015-A and co-administration of BR1015-3 and BR1015-2 in healthy volunteers under fed conditions
NCT05835596
The goal of this randomized clinical trial study is to test the potential benefits of eHealth-assisted follow-up after pregnancy complications that confer and increased risk for premature cardiovascular (CV) disease. The overarching aim is to improve short- and long-term CV health in women following pregnancy complications associated with increased risk of CV disease (hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and gestational diabetes). The investigators will develop and test a novel, personalized and user co-designed digital eHealth companion ("app") and test the app in a clinical randomized control trial. The group randomized to app use will get access to the app prior to delivery or within the first weeks postpartum, whereas the control group will not get access to the app, but receive ordinary follow-up. Both groups are invited to a comprehensive cardiovascular follow-up 14-18 months post delivery. The primary objective is to assess whether the rate of 1-year postpartum follow-up at the general practitioner's is increased with MumCare app access. Secondary objectives are to assess: 1. expectations of (and satisfaction with) postpartum eHealth-assisted technologies, 2. if health perception, sense of empowerment (self-management evaluation and general self-efficacy), modifiable risk factors for CV disease (including hypertension, dyslipidemia, blood sugar control, smoking, weight, physical activity), CV findings (including non-invasive hemodynamics) and biomarkers are affected by MumCare app use.
NCT05983250
This study will evaluate the efficacy of TNX-103 (oral levosimendan) compared with placebo in subjects with PH-HFpEF as measured by the change in 6-Minute Walk Distance (6 MWD; Day 1 to Week 12).
NCT06957847
The aim of the study is to assess the accuracy of the automatic oscillometric BP measuring device at the brachial level, the WITHINGS BPM Pro 2, in the general population
NCT07254338
Fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (FILDs) encompass a group of rare diseases characterized by progressive pulmonary fibrosis leading to respiratory failure. Current treatments primarily aim to slow disease progression but remain limited, making lung transplantation the ultimate recourse. The development of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in the context of FILDs significantly worsens morbidity and mortality and drastically reduces patients' life expectancy. Conventional treatments for PH are generally ineffective in this setting. Nevertheless, some promising therapeutic agents are currently under investigation, particularly inhaled prostacyclin analogs such as treprostinil, which have demonstrated efficacy in recent clinical studies. Our study aims to explore, in a minimally invasive manner, variations in metabolites in the serum and urine of patients with PH secondary to FILDs, before and during treatment. The main objective is to better understand the systemic effect of these treatments. Furthermore, the identification of metabolomic signatures will allow us to differentiate responders from non-responders, thus providing valuable prognostic and predictive criteria. To date, some patients do not benefit from the available treatments, and better selection of responders could prevent iatrogenic effects in patients whose clinical condition is already fragile. In addition, characterizing the systemic mode of action of these treatments could pave the way for new clinical research focused on the profiles of responding patients. Finally, a thorough understanding of the efficacy of the studied therapies is essential. Indeed, effective treatment of PH in the context of FILDs could not only slow disease progression but also reduce the need for lung transplantation, a major challenge in a context of organ shortage.
NCT05425030
The sodium found in salt is a powerful cause of high blood pressure, and most sodium ingested by humans is from their diet. High blood pressure is known to cause heart attacks and strokes, so various public health programs have attempted to find ways for people to reduce their salt intake to avoid these complications. These programs, however, have proven challenging, as asking people to alter their food preparation practices is often met with resistance. As such, we wish to test the blood pressure-lowering effects of low sodium salt substitute (LSSS), a salt substance in which a third of the compound by weight is composed of potassium (which does not increase blood pressure) rather than sodium. Additionally, the best way of supplying LSSS to people is yet unknown. We thus propose to study the effectiveness of an LSSS product by directly providing it via community health workers in 309 households in rural Bangladesh.
NCT07413159
The proposed study, "Check, Monitor, Control Hypertension in Older African American Adults," is a randomized clinical trial designed to improve blood pressure control among African American adults aged 55 years and older in the Greater Houston area. Hypertension disproportionately affects African Americans, contributing to higher rates of cardiovascular disease and stroke. This project aims to improve clinical and behavioral outcomes through a 24-month intervention combining pharmacist-led counseling and Community Health Worker (CHW) support.
NCT04388124
The management of patients with resistant arterial hypertension, who are characterized by a very high cardiovascular risk, remains a major therapeutic issue. The use of endothelin-1 (ET-1) receptor antagonists, in addition to lowering blood pressure, may also improve endothelial function in these patients. The objective of this study is to assess the vascular impact of an ET-1 receptor antagonist on vascular function and systemic and central hemodynamics in patients with resistant arterial hypertension and ensure their good renal tolerance.
NCT06829537
This is a non-interventional study to assess the prevalence of endogenous hypercortisolism (eHC) in patients with resistant hypertension (rHTN) and will enroll approximately 1000 patients at approximately 45 sites in the United States (US). Each patient will have an initial visit for screening. After eligibility is confirmed, a limited exam will be performed and demographic and medical history will be collected. Non-fasting labs and a urine collection will also be done. A second visit will be a fasting blood draw at 8 AM after taking 1 mg of dexamethasone the night before at 11 PM. Cortisol level and study labs will also be collected. After the lab results are obtained, a third visit will be scheduled only for patients with eHC and will include a non-fasting blood draw at 8 AM and scheduling of a non-contrast CT scan.
NCT05050266
Women Veterans are the fastest growing segment of VA users. This dramatic growth has created challenges for VA to ensure that appropriate services are available to meet women Veterans' needs, and that they will want and be able to use those services. The EMPOWER QUERI 2.0 Program is a cluster randomized type 3 hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial testing two strategies designed to support implementation and sustainment of evidence-based practices for women Veterans in at least 20 VA facilities from 4 regions.
NCT07413614
ACHIEVE aims to determine whether exercise can be a safe and effective non-drug approach to improve blood pressure control in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Although exercise is a promising and potentially well-accepted therapy, its use in clinical care is limited because the safety and effectiveness of different exercise types (aerobic, isometric, moderate, or high intensity) and timing (morning versus evening) have not been systematically studied in people with POAG and elevated blood pressure. This study will evaluate the safety and short-term effects of different exercise modalities and timings on 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and blood pressure variability in patients with POAG and elevated blood pressure. It is hypothesized that: * Each exercise session will lead to a temporary reduction in blood pressure (post-exercise hypotension). * The greatest and longest-lasting reduction will occur after high-intensity aerobic exercise performed in the morning. It is also expected that all exercise types and timings will be safe for participants.
NCT07172334
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare and incurable disease affecting people of all ages. It is characterized by obstructive remodeling of the small pulmonary arteries, responsible for an increase in pulmonary arterial pressure, leading to right heart failure and death in the absence of treatment. PAH can be associated with a variety of diseases, but around half of all PAH cases are idiopathic or hereditary, and may develop on predisposed terrain following a "second hit", as suggested by the identification of PAH cases associated with the use of anorectic drugs, methamphetamine and occupational exposure to organic solvents. No study has systematically analyzed the exposome of patients with PAH, combining environmental and occupational exposures as well as drugs and medications. The exposome of patients with PAH without associated causes will be compared with that of patients with another form of pulmonary hypertension (PH), linked to thromboembolic risk factors: chronic thromboembolic PH (CTEPH), which will constitute the control group.
NCT05067231
The UAB Cardiovascular Research Biobank (CARBON) will be a resource that contains biological materials, such as DNA samples, in addition to health and personal information on a large number of people over time. It will be set up so that it can be used in the future as a resource for researchers undertaking a wide range of medical research.
NCT03253172
The current high-sodium, low-potassium diet contributes to the high prevalence of high blood pressure (hypertension). Indeed, the anti-hypertensive effects of potassium supplementation are well-established. Hypertension is even more prevalent and resistant in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and contributes to further decline in kidney function. Four recent epidemiological studies (published 2014 - 2016) showed that higher dietary potassium intake was associated with better renal outcomes. All studies recommended an intervention study with potassium supplementation in patients with CKD, but this has not been performed. The aim of this study is to study the renoprotective effect of potassium supplementation in patients with CKD (stage 3b or 4, i.e. estimated glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\] 15 - 45 ml/min/1.73 m2).
