Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Overview

Lillestol Research has performed multiple trials involving the hypertension (high blood pressure) indication/diagnosis. The trials have varied in phase from the investigational product phase to observational, as well as varied in enrollment criteria and trial duration. Hypertension is one of our most experienced trial indications to recruit to. The multitude of trials that we have performed in this indication has developed a robust research patient database of over 3,300 individuals with a hypertension diagnosis that would be interested in clinical trial participation.

Spotlight Trial(s)

  1. This was a comparator trial of an investigational product vs. an after-market products for patients 55 years of age and older with hypertension. Lillestol Research was able to successfully meet and exceed the sponsor’s enrollment expectation randomizing 16 patients in a 3-month enrollment period.
  2. This was an add-on therapy comparator trial of an investigational product in combination with a marketed product vs. the marketed product monotherapy in patients with hypertension. Lillestol Research was able to successfully meet and exceed the sponsor’s enrollment expectation randomizing 15 patients in a 1-month enrollment period.
  3. This was a comparator trial of an investigational product vs. an after-market product for patients with hypertension and type II diabetes. Lillestol Research was able to successfully meet and exceed the sponsor’s enrollment expectation randomizing 13 patients in an 11-month enrollment period.

Definition

People with blood pressure readings of 140/90 or higher, taken on at least two occasions, indicate high blood pressure. For those over the age of 60 are said to have high blood pressure with readings of 150/90 or higher. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is the most common cardiovascular disease.

Description

Blood pressure is determined by the force of blood pushing against artery walls as it courses through the body. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries are, the higher your blood pressure will be.

Hypertension can threaten healthy arteries and lead to life-threatening conditions such as heart disease and stroke. You can have high blood pressure for years without having any symptoms, fortunately, it can be easily detected and you can work with your doctor to control it.
