The goal of this study is to understand if SLT performed at low energy is as effective as SLT performed at standard energy, and also to see if repeating SLT at low energy once a year will prevent or delay the need for daily eye drop medications better than waiting for SLT to wear off before repeating it.

The VA is the largest single provider of HIV care in the US and Veterans with HIV use significantly more healthcare services and have a 1.5-2x higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) compared to uninfected Veterans. The goal is to improve BP treatment for Veterans with HIV to reduce ASCVD risk. Within a RCT, the investigators hypothesize that the VA adapted nurse-led intervention will result in a clinically significant 6mmHg reduction in SBP over 12 months compared to those receiving enhanced education only. The study is innovative because of the use of stakeholder-engaged design process, multi-component nurse-led intervention, and VA Video Connect (VVC) to monitor CVD risk factors. The project meets VA strategic priorities including: 1) greater choice for Veterans; 2) improve timeliness of services; 3) focus more resources more efficiently (strengthen foundational services in VA). If shown to be effective, this intervention will have substantial impact among high-risk Veterans, potentially reducing ASCVD events by more than a quarter.

This study is a human-centered, three-arm, parallel-group, randomized control, implementation trial (n=75) to compare MTM (Medically Tailored Meals) only (14 meals delivered weekly for 10 weeks) vs. MTM + SMA (Shared Medical Appointments; once weekly sessions for 10 weeks) vs. a wait-list control group (MTM-Later) in patients with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and/or metabolic syndrome. All intervention components will be culturally congruent (e.g., MTMs will include food that converges with culturally relevant diets and SMAs will be delivered by individuals with racial concordance to the target community). Primary outcomes will be implementation (recruitment and retention rates) and feasibility (engagement and satisfaction). Participants will be recruited from Cleveland Clinic's South Pointe Hospital in Warrensville Heights, a predominantly Black community with low socioeconomic status and high cardiovascular disease morbidity.

This trial is testing belapectin, a medication aimed at helping people with a severe liver condition called NASH cirrhosis. The study focuses on patients who have high blood pressure in their liver but no swollen veins in their esophagus. Belapectin works by reducing liver inflammation and scarring, which can improve liver function and reduce health problems.

Carotid revascularization for primary prevention of stroke (CREST-2) is two independent multicenter, randomized controlled trials of carotid revascularization and intensive medical management versus medical management alone in patients with asymptomatic high-grade carotid stenosis. One trial will randomize patients in a 1:1 ratio to endarterectomy versus no endarterectomy and another will randomize patients in a 1:1 ratio to carotid stenting with embolic protection versus no stenting. Medical management will be uniform for all randomized treatment groups and will be centrally directed.

This study is researching an experimental drug called REGN7544 (called "study drug"). The study is focused on adult patients (18 to 85 years) hospitalized due to a serious infection (called "sepsis") and receiving standard-of-care medications for low blood pressure (called "vasopressors") due to sepsis. The aim of the study is to see how safe, tolerable, and effective the study drug is by observing the effects on blood pressure and the total amount of vasopressor dose received during the stay in the hospital. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * How the study drug changes the blood pressure and the amount of intravenous (IV) fluids given to participants with low blood pressure due to sepsis * What side effects may happen from taking the study drug * How much study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have a known blockage developing in lower left main 50%, which my doctors are watching. We've considered surgery, but I'd like to rule out all possible other options first. I've done some research, which brought me to clinical trials."

PA
Artery Disease PatientAge: 64

"I've been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes since 2000. I was on the highest dose of metformin, which didn't work for me. In 2022, I tried Ozempic, which had bad side effects. I'm not currently on anything to treat my diabetes, given my experiences (as well as some insurance denials). I'm glad that clinical trials exist to help me try to access the latest research. I'm frustrated but also motivated."

PL
Diabetes PatientAge: 53

"I have gasteroparesis which causes me extreme bloating, pain, acid reflux, occasional vomiting, nausea, and constipation. Most standard medications have not helped. I did some research to learn about investigational drugs, which I'd be excited to get to access through a trial."

Gasteroparesis PatientAge: 38

"In December 2023 I had a stent placed in an artery. I was so glad that the blockage was found before I had either a heart attack, stroke, or both. I have been on Pravastatin for as long as I can remember but I continue to have elevated cholesterol levels. I'm trying to get ahead of my condition by learning more about the latest research and drugs available."

AQ
Hypercholesterolemia PatientAge: 57

"My ejection fraction is now 20-25%, quite low. Trying to optimize my medications at this time. I have had Biventricular pacemaker/ICD since 2007. I am doing everything I can to improve my health. Following a diet, exercising 30 minutes every day. Most days my systolic blood pressure is < 100. I had a L/R Cath in December and do not have any problems with my coronary arteries. I'm hoping to learn more about the latest research and drugs by participating in a trial. "

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Hypertension clinical trials in Akron, OH 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 Hypertension clinical trials in Akron, OH 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 Hypertension trials in Akron, OH 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 in Akron, OH for Hypertension 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 in Akron, OH 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 Hypertension medical study in Akron, OH?

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.

What are the newest Hypertension clinical trials in Akron, OH?

Most recently, we added Empagliflozin for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, REGN7544 for Low Blood Pressure from Sepsis and Baxdrostat + Dapagliflozin for Chronic Kidney Disease and High Blood Pressure to the Power online platform.
