Filter by:This is an exploratory Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic effects of RVT-1201 in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
The investigators propose to leverage new technology using the Qardio app for iPhone and Android devices to automatically upload blood pressures, using a well-validated blue tooth blood pressure monitor (QardioArm), directly into the Duke electronic health record system (EPIC). Further, the investigators propose to develop an automated EHR (electronic health record) messaging system utilizing the home blood pressures that will be sent to the participant's PCP, with copies to the participant and the primary oncologist. This is a 12-week prospective non-randomized implementation study. 40 patients who are 18-74 years old who fall under the following criteria will be screened: 10 women with Stage 1-III breast cancer who are receiving either an anthracycleine of antiHER2 therapy, 10 men with prostate cancer on ADT, 10 individuals with CLL on ibrutinib therapy, and 10 individuals who are hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) survivors. In Phase 1 (Weeks 1-4) of the study, participants will self-monitor their blood pressure using the QardioArm wireless upper arm blood pressure monitor 3 times per week. In Phase 2 (Weeks 5-12), the investigators will implement the auto-messaging system triggered by an abnormal weekly average systolic or diastolic blood pressure. The investigators will adapt the conceptual framework of Muldoon and colleagues whereby home blood pressure monitoring is combined with office blood pressures to optimize data for the primary care provider's clinical decision making. {Participants will be asked to complete a paper survey, upon enrollment, that will include life chaos and medication adherence questions. There will also be an end-of-study feedback survey (usability and acceptability questions through REDCap) for both the participants and their primary care providers. This is an implementation study with a descriptive analysis. The data generated from the study will be used in future studies, including testing of different interventions aimed at optimizing blood pressure control among patients on active cancer therapy. This study presents no greater than minimal risk to the subjects and adverse events are not anticipated.
Acute and chronic hemodynamic dose-response and safety evaluation of LIQ861 in PAH subjects.
The purpose of this study is to understand if administration of a personalized dose of the anti-hypertensive medication, labetalol, based on patient's history of preexisting hypertension, will be more effective at controlling severe hypertension during pregnancy, compared to the current standard dosing.
Endothelin is a human hormone which has been associated with increased portal pressure in patients with liver cirrhosis (also called portal hypertension). Ambrisentan blocks the effects of endothelin. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of ambrisentan on portal pressure and renal function in patients with advanced liver cirrhosis and with portal hypertension. In this study, portal pressure will be determined at multiple times with the aid of a catheter inserted into the body of the patient. The effect of ambrisentan on the function of the kidney will also be investigated. This study will also evaluate the concentrations of ambrisentan in blood in patients with liver cirrhosis.
The endothelin receptor antagonist macitentan showed significant improvement compared with placebo in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) in inoperable CTEPH patients in the phase II MERIT-1 trial (AC-055E201, NCT02021292). However, in the MERIT-1 trial Japanese patients were not included. Therefore, in line with Japan's medical environment, this phase III study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of macitentan in Japanese CTEPH patients.
This is a multi-center, Phase 2 Long-Term, Open Label Extension (OLE) Study to assess the safety and tolerability of pemziviptadil (PB1046) at an optimally titrated dose. This is a Long-Term, Open label Extension (OLE) Study for subjects with (PAH), having participated in double-blind Study PB1046-PT-CL-0004. The study will include adult subjects previously diagnosed with symptomatic PAH, who are receiving background clinician-directed therapy for PAH. During this period, subjects will continue to be followed for safety and tolerability, as well as for periodic efficacy, quality of life data and immunogenicity. The study will continue per the schedule of events until such time when pemziviptadil (PB1046) is able to be self-administered, becomes commercially available to the subjects in a particular country or region, or the sponsor terminates the study due to lack of efficacy, safety or other reasons.
This open-label study will evaluate the safety of continued therapy with inhaled treprostinil in participants who have completed Study RIN-PH-304 (NCT03496623). This study hypothesizes that long-term safety findings will be similar to those observed in the randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, adaptive study 'A Phase 3, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Adaptive Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Inhaled Treprostinil in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (PH-COPD)(RIN-PH-304).
A Sub-Study of an investigator initiated and conducted, multicentre, international, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial (TRIDENT) to determine the effect of more intensive long-term blood pressure control, provided by a fixed low-dose combination blood pressure lowering pill ("Triple Pill") strategy on top of standard of care, for slowing memory decline as measured by Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB), in patients with a history of acute stroke due to intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH).
TRIDENT Main Study: TRIDENT is a multicentre, international, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial of a fixed low-dose combination BP-lowering pill ("Triple Pill") strategy on top of standard of care, in patients with a history of acute intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels defined as 'high normal to borderline high', and on either minimal or no BP-lowering treatment according to current guidelines. MRI Sub-Study Centres capable of specific MRI of the brain sequences will be identified. The patients in the TRIDENT main study who are identified to be eligible for the MRI Sub-Study will undergo MRI scans at baseline (6 weeks to 6 months post-randomisation) and at 36-month follow-up time points. All data collected will be analysed centrally at the Brain and Mind Centre (BMC) in Sydney, Australia.
