184 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Hypertension is a significant contributor to poor cardiovascular outcomes. Self-management support tools can increase patient behaviors to improve blood pressure. The investigators created a clinical decision support app, called COACH, to integrate home blood pressure data and goals into EHR reporting and workflow with communications informed by behavioral economics principles to support shared decision-making. The study aims to measure the effectiveness of the COACH intervention in a pragmatic multi-site randomized trial in a primary care setting.
The Potassium Intake-response Trial to Control Hypertension (PITCH) will test the intake-response relationship between potassium supplementation and blood pressure, which may inform clinical guidelines on the optimal level of potassium supplementation for blood pressure lowering among adults with elevated blood pressure or hypertension and dietary guidelines for population intake.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious and growing public health problem. The purpose of this study is to find out if an educational worksheet, called the Encounter Decision Intervention (EDI), combined with health coaching helps CKD patients improve their blood pressure and other health outcomes. The research team hypothesizes that the intervention group will have greater improvement in CKD outcomes than the control group.
The study evaluates the use of automated motivational messages, visit reminders, and medication reminders (using interactive voice response technology or text messages) to improve blood pressure control among adults with hypertension that receive their care at the First Nations Community Healthsource clinic in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Half of the participants will receive usual care, while the other half will receive the automated calls or text messages and have the option to receive home blood pressure monitors and/or designate a care partner who will also receive messages. Participants will be followed for 12 months.
In the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) trials, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts and dairy products, and limited in fat content, was shown to be useful in controlling hypertension. Key components of such a diet are potassium, magnesium and alkali, each of which has been implicated in lowering blood pressure. Whether a liquid formulation of potassium-magnesium citrate will result in equivalent BP effect as the DASH diet is unknown.
It is estimated that in the United States there are approximately 8 million individuals with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD), not on dialysis. Volume expansion plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension in patients with CKD. For this pilot study, the investigators hypothesize that administration of chlorthalidone among patients with moderate to severe CKD will improve blood pressure (BP).
Liquid potassium-magnesium citrate (KMgCit) as a pharmaceutical formulation will lower blood pressure among patients with pre- or Stage I hypertension on their customary diet.
The purpose of this study is to test whether accurately measuring patients' adherence to their blood pressure medications with electronic pillbox monitors and then providing clinicians with this information can improve the clinical management of uncontrolled hypertension.
The purpose of this study is to learn if BMS-512148 (Dapagliflozin), after 12 weeks, can improve (decrease) blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes with uncontrolled hypertension who are on an Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or an Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB).The safety of this treatment will also be studied
This study will evaluate the effect of a senior center-based comprehensive therapeutic lifestyle intervention delivered through group-based counseling and motivational interviewing (MINT-TLC) among 250 hypertensive African American or Latino seniors age 60 and older in a randomized control trial.
Many primary care patients, especially in inner-city settings, do not achieve targets for blood pressure and glycemic control. There is an urgent need to enhance treatment for those who do not reach goals within the usual clinical care system. We propose to develop a multi-component intervention grounded in the Chronic Care Model, and sustainable in resource-challenged settings. Through collaboration with home health nursing and with the use of home telemetry for feedback and intensification of therapy, we will augment usual clinical services to improve health outcomes for diabetes patients who have not been able to reach therapeutic goals. There are three specific aims. First, we will establish a feasible, practical and sustainable collaborative model between the primary care sites of our practice-based research network (NYC RING), clinical researchers at the Diabetes Research and Training Center, and The Montefiore Home Health Organization, integrating the unique expertise of each of the partners and defining the roles and responsibilities of each. Second, we will develop and refine the components of the intervention, to include training primary care providers and home health nurses to integrate the technical, psychosocial and communication processes for implementation of the intervention. Third, we will assess the feasibility of the collaborative intervention by implementing the intervention for 25 primary care patients and obtain preliminary estimates of effectiveness by comparing outcomes to 25 patients receiving usual care. Our proposal includes plans to develop feasible procedures for data collection, with qualitative and quantitative methods of assessing process and outcome measures. We will use these preliminary data to revise the intervention and prepare an R18 application to further develop and test the intervention in multiple inner-city primary care sites serving low-income diabetes patients. This proposal is for secondary prevention of diabetes complications, targeting a population known for health disparities and a high burden from this chronic disease.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether dapagliflozin, after 12 weeks, can improve (decrease) blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes with uncontrolled hypertension who are on an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
This randomized control study tested the feasibility of two communication enhancement interventions: one with veterans who had a stroke and demonstrated poorly controlled hypertension; the other with VA primary care providers who provided routine outpatient medical care to these veterans. This study intervened with both members of the provider-patient dyad in an attempt to improve the self-management of hypertension by improving communication during visits to the VA outpatient clinic, specifically by enabling veterans to communicate their questions and concerns about chronic disease self-management to their providers more effectively, and to help providers improve their ability to communicate more effectively with this population of veterans.
This study is designed to assess how rapidly and how safely Clevidipine can be used to control high Blood Pressure in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage which is a type of brain bleed that happens because of a weak balloon like structure in one of the brain vessels. Control of blood pressure is of high value in preventing this balloon that ruptured and bled from rebleeding. The ultimate cure would be to shut down the aneurysm by a surgical procedure. Clevidipine is a drug that can lower blood pressure and it is given through the vein as a continuous infusion. It is a very short acting drug which is important in controlling labile blood pressure condition with rapid changes between up and down. This trial will test for its rapid actions and check for any side effects and possibly any other potential benefit.
In this project we develop and implement an intervention to improve hypertension control in a primary care setting that takes advantage of new technology (home blood pressure telemonitoring) and team models of care (pharmacist case management). The results of the project will have important implications for future efforts to improve care provided to many of the estimated 20 million Americans with uncontrolled hypertension.
To assess the effect of naproxcinod vs. naproxen on arterial blood pressure patients with osteoarthritis and controlled essential hypertension
This randomized study will compare the effect of lumiracoxib, ibuprofen and placebo on 24-hour blood pressure profile and on urinary excretions of eicosanoids in controlled hypertensive patients who have osteoarthritis.
This study will investigate the effect on ambulatory blood pressure of lumiracoxib 100 mg once daily versus ibuprofen 600 mg three times a day in osteoarthritis patients with controlled hypertension.
The primary objective of the proposed clinical trials is to compare the differential reduction in blood pressure in underserved hypertensive adult Korean American. The study is designed to test the effectiveness of a comprehensive self-help intervention program.
This is a Phase 2 dose-titration study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MANP subcutaneous injection compared to placebo in reducing baseline daytime systolic blood pressure (SBP), derived from 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), in subjects with hypertension who are taking 3 or more antihypertensive medications with different mechanisms of action.
The purpose of this project is to compare the performance and validity of novel wearable technologies that measure blood pressure (BP) and physical activity with a Spacelabs Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) device.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multiple ascending dose study in hypertensive subjects on stable doses of at least three hypertensive drugs for at least 6 weeks prior to Screening. The study will consist of screening, PK-unit admittance, and safety follow up periods. Subjects will be randomized at a 6:2 ratio of either MANP or placebo and will be stratified by race in each dosage cohort. The entire first Cohort will be given the lowest dosage with subsequent cohorts progressing sequentially to the higher doses depending on safety and tolerability of the previous cohort. Endpoints not related to the safety reviews will be analyzed after the last patient last visit (LPLV).
The purpose of this 20-week randomized double-blind study in patients with resistant hypertension (rHTN) is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability, of different doses of XXB750 administered as subcutaneous (SC) injections, compared to placebo. Since all study participants will be patients with rHTN, all study treatments will be given on top of maximally tolerated background antihypertensive therapy recommended by international guidelines for treatment of HTN (i.e., a thiazide or a thiazide-like diuretic, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and a long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB).
The PRECISION study investigates the possibility of integrating a clinical decision support analytic intelligence into the clinical care flow at University of California San Francisco Medical Center (UCSF MC). optima-for-blood pressure \[optima4BP\], our innovation, transforms the episodic and reactive nature of uncontrolled HTN pharmacological treatment management into a process that is continuous, proactive, and personalized. In addition, the clinical adoption of this "technology of the future" will be investigated to establish its feasibility in being embedded into the clinical care flow. Today's hypertension (HTN) management paradigm often fails to align current patient health status with the most effective medication treatment. Without surveillance and rapid-cycles analysis of current patient health status and treatment efficacy, HTN management remains a struggle. optima4BP addresses pharmacological intervention management by identifying the need for a drug treatment change and recommending the most appropriate drug optimization. The PRECISION study represent a pilot trial intended to address 2 critical design components of optima4BP: 1. Can optima4BP interoperate with multiple IT platforms to collect and distribute data? 2. What is the treating physician confidence in using optima4BP?
The Five Plus Nuts \& Beans Study is a randomized, controlled trial to compare two strategies for translating the results of the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) Study into practice for 120 African American participants who are on stable doses of antihypertensive medications. The first arm of our study offers minimal DASH-oriented dietary advice along with a food credit at a local supermarket where they make their own decision of what to eat. The second arm consists of a single one-hour session with a nutrition expert who provides choices and places an on-line order from a community grocery store (Santoni's Market) with targeted purchases of fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans. Our primary outcome is change in blood pressure at 8 weeks. Secondary outcomes are effects on glucose, uric acid, urine potassium excretion, and self-report consumption of fruits and vegetables during the same period.
This study aims to compare a multidisciplinary clinical hypertension and social needs intervention to enhanced standard of care for hypertension management in primary care clinics with regards to hypertension control outcomes.
The goal of this study is to support patients with hypertension self-management using both home blood pressure monitors and digital messaging programs. The investigators will first engage patients with technology training to use home monitors, online portal websites to view their medical record information online, and texting and mobile phone applications. Then investigators will assess the effectiveness of home blood pressure monitors and enhanced patient-clinician digital communication on blood pressure control during a 12-month intervention.
As part of a roll out of new payment model for physicians based on hypertension control, the investigators will evaluate a monthly peer comparison message to Primary Care Providers at Penn Medicine Lancaster to see whether provider engagement with patients' overall hypertension management increases, as measured by new or increasing doses of anti-hypertensive medications.
This is a randomized, controlled, pragmatic trial designed as a "type I hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial" that tests a hypertension program integrating a virtual Collaborative Care Clinic (vCCC), home blood pressure monitoring, and telehealth for lowering blood pressure (BP) in two health systems.
This purpose of this study is to examine an aggressive method of blood pressure control that involves home blood pressure monitoring and management of medications by a team of clinical pharmacists in coordination with a primary care physician.
