Hand Grip Training for High Blood Pressure
Windsor, Ontario
Research has shown that isometric (constant squeeze) exercise training using an isometric handgrip (IHG) device lowers resting blood pressure (BP) in those with and without high BP. The purpose of this study is to explore if IHG training will lower resting BP in people doing cardiac rehabilitation more than doing only cardiac rehabilitation. Once eligibility is confirmed participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups for the study. One group will do IHG training in addition to cardiac rehabilitation (Group 1), and the other group will do only cardiac rehabilitation (Group 2). Participants assigned to Group 1 will be asked to do IHG training on their own with an inflatable ball three days per week for 12 weeks with intensity set based on rating of perceived exertion (RPE) or rating of effort. Participants will self-measure and report their resting BP to investigators. The acceptability of doing IHG training will also be explored by conducting interviews with participants as will the impact that IHG training may have on psychological wellbeing by administering surveys to participants.

Home Blood Pressure Monitoring for High Blood Pressure
Windsor, Ontario
To evaluate the impact of home blood pressure monitoring when used in addition to pharmacist care, compared to usual care, in women with elevated blood pressure (BP). Randomized 1:1 two-arm controlled trial. Patients to be identified and screened by pharmacists. Patients with a BP \>140/90mmHg or \>130/80mmHg in those with diabetes will be invited to enroll in the study.
Intervention: Patients will have BP assessed at baseline by the pharmacist, and they will receive a home blood pressure monitor in addition to counselling provided by the pharmacist. Patients will measure their BP at home for seven days every four weeks and input their results into a data management system. The pharmacist will follow up with the patient every 4 weeks to review their readings and at 24-weeks the patient will come into the pharmacy for a final follow-up and BP readings. The pharmacist will fax BP readings and suggestions for therapy modification to the patient's prescribing clinician. After 24-weeks patient care is returned to the prescribing clinician with no further pharmacist interventions except for a final post-trial follow-up at week-52 to review ongoing home BP monitor use and BP management by the prescribing clinician.
Control: Patients will have BP assessed at baseline, 12-, and 24-weeks in the pharmacy by the pharmacist. Patients will not receive a home blood pressure monitor. Pharmacist will provide usual care, education and counselling on BP management. Pharmacists will fax BP readings to the patient's prescribing clinician but will not provide any suggestions for therapy modification. After 24-weeks patients will be offered a home blood pressure monitor with education on its use. They will then be offered to crossover to the intervention group for the next 24-weeks or have their care returned to their prescribing clinician with no pharmacist specific interventions except for a final post-trial follow-up at week-52 to review ongoing home BP monitor use and BP management by the prescribing clinician.
Sample Size: Calculated sample size is 368 participants to achieve 80% power, with 184 patients in the intervention and control groups.
Primary Outcome: Difference in change in Systolic Blood Pressure between the home blood pressure monitoring in addition to pharmacist care versus usual care group.

3D Kidney Model Education for Kidney Disease
Lexington, Kentucky
High blood pressure has a different rate effect on many minoritized individuals. African Americans, as a result of high blood pressure, are six times more likely to go through kidney failure compared to white counterparts. Hispanic communities are also disproportionately affected by high blood pressure and, unfortunately, generally have lower knowledge about the effects on the kidneys as well. Unfortunately, many minoritized and underserved communities are affected by the weight of the social determinants of health, i.e., housing, education, food, health care, etc., that contribute to large disparities in health outcomes. These factors lead to poor care management, less ability to manage care effectively, and disengagement from care. Health education is vital to recognizing and communicating with minoritized patients with hypertension-induced chronic renal disease. As the patient's knowledge of the condition grows, this can significantly influence the trust between clinicians and patients. Effective and patient-centered education can inspire patients to be proactive in their prevention strategies with clinicians. This study's overall goal is to assess the utility of a novel patient education tool (3D-printed healthy kidney and diseased kidney models) in optimizing patient education for underserved populations who have hypertension with a potential lead to hypertension-induced chronic renal disease.

PAL2 for High Blood Pressure
Detroit, Michigan
Brief Summary:
Black adults have a higher incidence of hypertension (HTN) and a greater risk of HTN-related cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with White adults. Even mild elevations in blood (BP) above 115/75 mm Hg are associated with increased CVD risk. Accordingly, emphasis is being placed on early interventions for high BP, particularly in those who are low cardiovascular risk(systolic BP 110-139 and diastolic BP \< 90 mm Hg), for participants lifestyle modification is recommended. Although lifestyle modifications are effective to lower BP, implementation is suboptimal in Black communities, especially those participants residing in low-income urban settings. Pervasive negative social determinants of health (SDoH), such as poor access to healthcare, food insecurity, limited availability of healthy foods, lack of safe places to engage in physical activity, and low health literacy are major drivers of inequities in HTN and a critical barrier to implementation of recommended lifestyle modifications in Black communities. To achieve health equity, effective strategies must address negative SDoH that are root causes of racial disparities in health outcomes as clearly demonstrated by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Predominantly Black cities like Detroit, Michigan, where the mortality rate from heart disease is nearly twice the national average, have been devastated by COVID-19. To address this, the investigators developed an innovative mobile health unit (MHU) program that uses geospatial health and social vulnerability data to direct deployment of testing and vaccination services to communities with highest needs. Since April 2020, the investigators conducted 500 events with 220 community partners where 40,000 people have been tested or vaccinated for COVID in MHUs.
Using a hybrid type I effectiveness-implementation design in the proposed Linkage, Empowerment, and Access to Prevent Hypertension (LEAP-HTN) study, the investigators will implement a novel approach that links low cardiovascular risk Black adult participants without stage-2 hypertension to collaborative care delivered in deprived neighborhoods by community health workers (CHWs) using a personalized, adaptable approach to lifestyle and life circumstance (PAL2) intervention. The investigators will leverage our MHU program, layering on top of existing services to streamline access for screening, recruitment and all ongoing follow-up throughout the study period. Our specific aims are:
AIM 1: To compare the effect of PAL2 intervention versus usual care (MHU engagement without PAL2) on systolic BP reduction and prevention of stage 2 HTN (systolic BP ≥ 140 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP \>90 mm Hg) among 500 Black adults with baseline untreated systolic BPs below stage 2 (ranging 110-139 mm Hg) and a diastolic BP \< 90 mm Hg.
Hypothesis (H) 1a: Systolic BP (primary outcome) will be reduced more in those randomized to PAL2 intervention versus usual care at 6 and 12 months.
H1b: Diastolic BP levels and the incidence of stage 2 HTN (systolic BP ≥ 140 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP \>90 mmm Hg) at 6 and 12 months (secondary outcomes) will be lower in participants randomized to the PAL2 intervention versus usual care.
AIM 2: To use the RE-AIM framework to assess the reach, adoption, effectiveness, sustainability and cost of LEAP-HTN at 12 months post-randomization.
H2a: The rates of adoption and sustainability of the PAL2 intervention will increase from baseline to 12 and up to 24 months in subjects with available data, respectively.
H2b: PAL2 intervention will be more cost-effective than usual care at 12 months and projected to be more cost-effective at 10 years.
Health Equity Impact: Targeted deployment of MHUs and PAL2 can mitigate several key adverse SDoH. LEAP-HTN contributes to the RESTORE Network by testing a sustainable and scalable approach to advance health equity and prevent HTN in Black adults participants. If successful, the use of MHU can be easily implemented in similar urban Black communities across the U.S.

Optimal BP Treatment Thresholds for Postpartum High Blood Pressure
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The objective of this research project is to conduct a single-site pilot trial within our institution's clinical remote blood pressures (BP) management program to assess the feasibility and effect of tight blood pressure control versus usual care in the immediate postpartum period after a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP).
The investigators' central hypothesis is that tight blood pressure control will be feasible and acceptable to postpartum individuals and will result in lower BP at six months postpartum and a reduction in postpartum hospital readmissions. Subjects will undergo 3 study visits (1 in-person and 2 remote) involving BP measurements, blood draws, and/or questionnaires. Up to 60 adult subjects will be enrolled at Magee-Women's Hospital.

Lifestyle Interventions for Obesity
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
This is a multisite clinical trial of healthy lifestyle programs for middle-to-older-aged adults (50 -74 years) to improve their weight and, therefore, reduce risk for chronic disease. This study will investigate whether a proven, self-directed video-based lifestyle program can be significantly enhanced with the assistance of a coach via videoconference or phone to help people as they adopt healthy eating and exercise behaviors. Additionally, the study will examine what factors might explain why some people achieve better outcomes than others. Understanding this can help to tailor the program to an individual for personalized care in the future.
Importantly, this study aims to demonstrate how readily a digital lifestyle program, with or without remote coaching, can be seamlessly delivered to patients at home via the patient portal of their electronic health record. This practical use of existing telehealth tools could be a feasible and effective means to offer behavioral treatments during routine medical care.

Norepinephrine vs Phenylephrine for Preventing Acute Kidney Injury
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Low blood pressure, also known as hypotension, is very common during major surgery under general anesthesia. Prolonged or severe hypotension can lead to complications such as kidney injury after surgery that slow down patient recovery. Anesthesiologists commonly administer medications called vasopressors to treat low blood pressure during surgery. These medications help raise the blood pressure back up to a safe range. Two vasopressor medications are commonly used for this purpose: norepinephrine and phenylephrine. Each of these medications has slightly different effects on the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular system). It remains unknown which of these standard medications is better for treating low blood pressure during surgery. The goal of this clinical trial is to determine which of these two medications is better at preventing injury to the kidneys after major noncardiac surgery as well as other complications such as heart problems. Major surgeries are defined as those lasting at least two hours under general anesthesia. This trial will randomize about ten centers in North America to use either norepinephrine or phenylephrine as the primary medication to treat low blood pressure in adults undergoing major noncardiac surgery. Each hospital will prioritize one of the drugs each month, and the assigned drug will rotate each month at each hospital. No further participant involvement will be required as de-identified data are collected as part of standard medical care.

CBT + Trazodone for Insomnia
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Individuals who have insomnia with short sleep duration (ISS) differ from individuals who have insomnia with normal sleep duration (INS) in terms of health risks (i.e., hypertension) and treatment response. This study will examine whether patients with ISS and INS demonstrate a differential response to two common insomnia treatments. One is behavioral, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). The other is a widely prescribed, non-habit-forming medication, trazodone used at a low dose. The investigators' findings could lead to evidence-based treatment guidelines that help clinicians more effectively match treatments to insomnia patients and reduce associated health problems.

Physical Activity Intervention for Cardiovascular Risk
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The main aim of this effort is to test a physical activity intervention, for adult clinical care patients at risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The intervention includes social-cognitive theory-based sessions, remote coaching, a body worn physical activity tracker (PAT), and is delivered online over one year. The investigators hypothesis that this intervention will be more successful at increasing physical activity (defined as objectively measured step counts and % of individuals meeting the moderate-vigorous physical activity goal) as an active control group who receives a body worn PAT and information on the CDC activity recommendations. The proposed intervention will be aligned with efforts by the US Centers for Disease Control to increase population physical activity levels and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) to increase physical activity prescription in primary care.

Clinical Decision Framework for Chronic Conditions in Older Adults
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn if providing a clinical decision framework for managing older adults chronic conditions during hospitalization to inpatient clinicians improves clinicians' ability to individualize chronic condition prescribing decisions for hospitalized older adults (65 and older). The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Will the clinical decision framework lead to clinicians having greater confidence to individualize discharge prescribing?
* Will clinicians using the framework discharge make fewer changes to hospitalized older adults with home diabetes and hypertension medications than they did prior to receiving the framework?
* Will older adult patients of participating clinicians will report fewer gaps in understanding of medication changes after the clinician is exposed to the framework?
Researchers will compare participating clinician survey responses and prescribing records from before and after an educational session presenting the clinical decision framework.
Participants will be asked to
* Attend a one-time educational session on the clinical decision framework
* Complete 2 electronic surveys, one before and one following the educational session.
* Agree for researchers to contact their patients, in order for patients to complete a one-time phone survey about changes made to home medications during hospitalization and quality of communication from the hospital team.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Blood Pressure clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Blood Pressure clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Blood Pressure trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Blood Pressure is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Blood Pressure medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
