Filter by:This local Phase 3 study is planned to confirm the efficacy and safety in Japanese PAH participants. The primary population of this study is Japanese PAH participants with World Health Organization Functional Class (WHO FC) II or III while the study includes PAH participants with WHO FC I or IV as other populations. There are no hypotheses for this study.
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is thought to be the most common secondary endocrine form of hypertension. Compared with patients with essential hypertension with similar blood pressure, patients with PA have significantly higher atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, deterioration of renal function and all-cause mortality. Therefore, early and systematic implementation of effective surgical or medical treatment is essential to prevent or reverse the excess vascular events and mortality of these patients. The patients with bilateral PA were mainly treated with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs). The MRA spironolactone is effective at lowering BP and reversing the harmful metabolic consequences, but its use is limited by adverse effects such as gynaecomastia, mastodynia, menstrual abnormalities and impotence due to its agonist activity at the progesterone receptor and antagonist activity at the androgen receptor. Finerenone is claimed to be a more selective blocker of the mineralocorticoid receptor than spironolactone being associated with fewer antiandrogenic side-effects. In this study, we will compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of finerenone versus spironolactone in patients with hypertension associated with primary aldosteronism.
This exploratory / proof of concept study aims to evaluate whether it is possible to identify at-risk patients based on EHR review of blood pressure fluctuation over time and cholesterol levels, recruit those patients, and engage them in a remote intervention protocol.
The main objective is to implement of a community-based primary care intervention against high blood pressure. We want to show that this intervention decreases the incidence of stroke in the community of agglomerations of the central coast of French Guiana, with a rapid effectiveness of about -30% at 2 years.
The chief regulator of resistance in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is the small arteries. In the heart, the invasive measurement of the resistance of the small arteries has been shownto be safe, easy, reliable, and prognostic. This study is intended to translate prior work in heart arteries to the PAH space and invasively measure the resistance of the small arteries of the lung (pulmonary index of microcirculatory resistance [PIMR]) and the coronary artery supplying the right ventricle (acute marginal of the RCA; RV-IMR). Importantly, these measurements will be made during standard of care cardiac catheterizations (right heart catheterization [RHC] +/- left heart catheterization). The correlation between these new indices and the standard ones measured during RHC typically used to determine the severity of pulmonary hypertension will be analyzed. In addition, among newly diagnosed patients, the study will evaluate how these indices change 6 months after starting treatment. Finally, the association of these indices with clinical outcomes at 1 year will be assessed. The findings from this study may deliver an immediate impact to patient care by identifying a new metric to help better identify those who may benefit from a more intensive, personalized treatment regimen.
The aim of the project is to assess the association between exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) via drinking water in pregnancy and birth outcomes (i.e. growth retardation, premature birth, and congenital developmental defects) and maternal morbidity (gestational hypertension, diabetes and preeclampsia) in a prospective population-wide register study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a new model of care that uses cellular-enabled home blood pressure (BP) telemonitoring and combines it with team-based BP control using a pharmacist to help manage BP medications and to give patients advice on diet and exercise, to an enhanced usual care group that only receives the monitoring device and basic instructions, in individuals with a history of uncontrolled hypertension. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. Among patients with a history of uncontrolled hypertension, evaluate the impact of team-based care using technology-enabled monitoring on improving goal-directed systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels relative to enhanced usual care (primary). 2. Assess the potential for heterogeneity of treatment effects by race, age, sex, and social deprivation index (secondary). 3. Examine the impact of the intervention on hypertension self-efficacy, medication adherence, timeliness of medication change, satisfaction with care, adoption of home BP monitoring, and the change in mean BP in diverse patients, many of whom have adverse social determinants of health (SDOH) (secondary/exploratory). Both groups will be asked to check their BP at home using a cellular-enabled home BP monitoring device that's provided. Patients in the Technology enabled Team Care (TTC) intervention group will have regular phone calls from a clinically trained and experienced pharmacist that works with their doctor/provider and who has reviewed their home BP readings. This pharmacist will help them adjust their medicines, provide brief nutrition and physical activity advice, and may refer them for help with any social challenges (not enough proper food, transportation problems, etc.) that they may be experiencing. An enhanced usual care group will serve as the comparison group and will receive the BP cuff monitoring device and basic instructions but will not receive ongoing monitoring or team care as described above. Researchers will compare the effect of the TTC intervention model to enhanced usual care to assess the impact on SBP levels at 6 and 12 months follow-up, as well as on a variety of patient-reported outcomes.
