Phase 2, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label, Controlled, 2-arm Cross-over Study to Evaluate the Clinical Efficacy of a Renin Inhibitor, Aliskiren, Compared to an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor, Enalapril, in C3 Glomerulopathy
Summary: The aim of this cross-over trial is to assess aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor, as a novel treatment to block complement activation in the kidneys and thereby attenuate renal disease and stabilize or improve kidney function and compare it to the currently used treatment with the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, enalapril, in patients with the complement-mediated renal disease C3 glomeru...
Bariatric Surgery and Pharmacokinetics Enalapril: BAR-MEDS Enalapril
Summary: Changes to gastric pH, gastric emptying time, gastrointestinal transit-time or the pre-systemic metabolizing effect of enzymes secreted in the mucosa may all alter the pharmacokinetics of medicines. These factors are potentially influenced by bariatric surgery. Little is so far known about how gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy impacts the biological availability of medication. In this study th...
A Single Center, Single Arm, Phase 2, Pilot Study to Investigate the Efficacy of the ACE Inhibitor Enalapril in Participants Aged 18-70 Years of Age With Painful Venous Malformations.
Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to explore if enalapril can be used to treat painful venous malformations. The main question it aims to answer are: \- Can enalapril reduce pain and volume of the malformation and increase quality of life in patients with painful venous malformations? Participants will: Receive a dose of enalapril 5 mg once daily. If it doesn't have effect the dose of enalapril w...
Genetic Determinants of ACEI Prodrug Activation
Summary: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are among the most frequently prescribed medications worldwide for the treatment of essential hypertension, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, acute myocardial infarction, and prevention of the progression of diabetic nephropathy. However, the outcome of ACEI treatment varies significantly between individuals and selected populations. Suboptimal...
Effect of Sacubitril/Valsartan on Cardiac Function Assessed by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) in Hypertensive Patients Stratified by Body Mass Index (BMI): A Real World Study
Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of sacubitril/valsartan on cardiac function assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in hypertensive patients stratified by BMI.
Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibition in Chagas Cardiomyopathy With Reduced Ejection Fraction: Randomized Trial ANSWER-HF
Summary: Chagas disease is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the most neglected tropical diseases in the world, having relevance in many Latin America countries. In addition, it already affects North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. Some studies suggest that chagasic heart failure has a worse prognosis, with up to 50% shorter survival than other etiologies. The PARADIGM-HF (Pros...
Pulmonary REsistance Modification Under Treatment With Sacubitril/valsartaN in paTients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction - PRESENT HF Study
Summary: MAIN OBJECTIVE. Demonstration that use of sacubitril/valsartan influences parameters of right heart catheterization, including pulmonary artery pressure, and provokes changes in pulmonary circulation resistance in patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF) and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PH): both isolated post-capillary (Ipc-PH) and combined pos...
NT-proBNP Selected PreventiOn of Cardiac eveNts in a populaTion of dIabetic Patients Without A History of Cardiac Disease: a Prospective Randomized Trial
Summary: Purpose and rationale The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of high dose Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS)-antagonists and beta-blocker treatment for the primary prevention of cardiac events in a population of patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with no evidence of a preexisting cardiac disease. An additional aim is to demonstrate an interaction between concentrations of amino...
