Filter by:This is a phase 2, Multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effects of inhaled Iloprost in patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to COPD. The main objective is to investigate the effect of iloprost on exercise endurance time during constant work rate cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Other efficacy and safety endpoints will additionally be analyzed.
Treprostinil subcutaneous (under the skin) infusion is a very good medication for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension but infusion site pain may be very severe in some patients. The investigators plan to treat patients receiving treprostinil with a subcutaneous infusion of lidocaine (a local anesthestic) to treat the pain.
Inflammation of the blood vessel plays an important role in the development and growth of a dilated abdominal aorta. An elevated blood pressure leads to an increase in inflammation, therefore blood pressure lowering is an important part of the treatment of patients with a dilated abdominal aorta who also have an elevated blood pressure. In the investigators study the investigators compare the anti-inflammatory effects of 2 different blood pressure lowering strategies. The investigators hypothesize that both strategies will decrease inflammation, however the investigators believe the total decrease of inflammation depends on the type of blood pressure lowering medication used.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intravenous sildenafil reduces pulmonary artery pressure and improves oxygenation in near-term and term infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension.
This study proposes to assess the effect of the standard of care, which is continuation of the pre op beta blocker dose into the post operative period compared to the administration of esmolol titrated to a pre determined target HR. The primary outcome will compare postoperative plasma levels of metoprolol in 2 cohorts in a group who has been continued on metoprolol (administrated via a nasogastric tube in NPO patients) to a group who has been withdrawn from metoprolol but given an esmolol infusion titrated to HR. Secondary outcomes will compare a) the hemodynamic responses, documenting the incidence of unplanned hypotension and bradycardia and b) to compare the effects of Heart rate to the incidence of myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, delirium and infarction.
This is a two part study. Part 1 will determine determine if administration of TC-5214 has an effect on sitting blood pressure in patients with chronic hypertension. Part 2 will determine any possible interactions between TC-5214 and Anti-Hypertensive Medications (Calcium Channel Blockers, Beta Blockers, and ACE Inhibitors).
This study was an extension to study CQTI571A2102 and was to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of QTI571 (imatinib) in severe pulmonary arterial hypertension patients.
Pazopanib is a new cancer drug that works by limiting the growth of new blood vessels in tumours. About half of patients who take pazopanib develop high blood pressure (hypertension). This side effect can make patients have to reduce or stop their cancer treatment, and can cause other health problems. The aim of this study is to find out exactly how the drug causes high blood pressure.
The AC-052-391-study is a phase 3 study to investigate whether adding bosentan to inhaled nitric oxide in newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborns (PPHN) is a supporting and safe therapy and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of bosentan and its metabolites.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of LFF269 compared to placebo after treatment in subjects with essential hypertension.
