Filter by:The study objective is to build group social norms to improve individual adhere to antihypertensive medications. Financial incentives are provided to individuals contingent upon group behavioral changes. Groups of patients will be formed, and incentivized to interact on a daily basis through social media and participate in a monthly-facilitated meeting at a local clinic. By forming groups, making individual outcomes transparent, and setting financial incentives contingent to group targets, individual decisions are framed within emerging social norms.
This pilot, feasibility study evaluates the efficacy of sacubitril-valsartan (Entresto) versus usual anti-hypertensive medications in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). It also measures diurnal blood pressure variations in the context of continuous flow physiology.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the medication adherence measured by PDC of patients with FDC or double-pill combination therapy in real-world Japanese therapeutic practice.The further objective of this study is how much influence the background of patients to the adherence.
Portal pressure gradient (PPG) above 12 mmHg after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) increases the risk of portal hypertension complications. Currently, a PPG reduction <12 mmHg after TIPS is the most consistent threshold associated with almost complete protection from variceal bleeding and ascites. However, the measurement of PPG requires an invasive procedure. A recent study investigated the variations in PPG measurements collected at different time points after placement of TIPS and demonstrated that a time point of at least 24 hours after which PPG values were best maintained (early PPG). It is of great clinical value to propose that an immediate PPG measurement fail to accurately identify the risk of decompensated event. And early PPG would change the decision making for re-intervention or not. However, the repeated invasive examination is extremely difficult to follow in clinical practice worldwide. The prospective multicenter trial aims to assess the diagnostic performance of a virtual imaging-based early portal pressure gradient (vePPG) (investigational technology) from CT angiography and Doppler ultrasound with invasive early PPG measurement as reference. The study participants with portal hypertension will be prospectively recruited at 10 high-volume liver centers in China.
The development of disease-targeted drugs for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has significantly improved within the last years. Combining drug products with different mechanisms of action such as Endothelin-Receptor-Antagonists (ERAs) and Phosphodiesterase-Type-5-inhibitors (PDE-5-Inhibitors) has become increasingly important for the treatment of PAH. Recently, the results of the AMBITION study reported that an upfront combination treatment of ambrisentan and tadalafil immediately after diagnosis leads to a delayed disease progression. On the other hand, the sequential combination of bosentan and sildenafil did not show a similar positive clinical effect and this was attributed to a negative clinically relevant pharmacodynamic drug-drug interaction. Although, recent guidelines have extrapolated that initial upfront combination treatment follows a class effect in terms of efficacy and safety, there is an imperative need to support this notion with other combinations of ERAs and PDE-5-Inhibitors.
This is a multicenter, randomized (2:1; oral treprostinil:placebo), double-blind, placebo-controlled event-driven (time to pulmonary hypertension [PH] clinical worsening) study in subjects with PH associated with sickle cell disease (SCD). Once enrolled, subjects will be evaluated at Weeks 6, 12, 24, and then every 12 weeks for the duration of the study. Subjects will be permitted to enter a 48-week open-label extension period if they experience a PH clinical worsening event.
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of fixed and free combination of atorvastatin/perindopril/amlodipine on blood pressure and lipid levels.
This is a multicenter, single-arm trial to evaluate the safety of the transition from Selexipag to Remodulin® then Oral Treprostinil in Symptomatic Subjects with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). The study will include about 30 subjects at approximately 10 clinical trial centers. The treatment phase of the study will last approximately 16 weeks.
This is a multicenter, single-arm trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled treprostinil in subjects with pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
This is a multicenter, randomized (2:1 oral treprostinil: placebo), double-blind, placebo-controlled study in subjects with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) who are currently receiving background dual therapy (ambrisentan, tadalafil) for at least 30 days at randomization for their PAH. Once randomized, subjects will return for 5 study visits up to Week 28 during the blinded period. After the Week 28 Visit, eligible subjects will transition to the open-label period of the study for up to 20 weeks.
