Testing eye drops for blood flow in high eye pressure and glaucoma
This study tests whether three different eye drop treatments (netarsudil, latanoprost, or both together) can improve blood flow to the white part of the eye and the retina. It may help people with high eye pressure or who are glaucoma suspects better understand how these treatments work.
Columbia, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT01712620RecruitingPhase 2
Spironolactone for pulmonary arterial hypertension in stable patients
This trial studies whether spironolactone can improve pulmonary arterial hypertension, a disease that makes the blood vessels in the lungs work too hard. You may be eligible if your condition is confirmed by specific heart-lung pressure tests and your medication plan has been stable for at least 4 weeks.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT01730092Recruiting
Study of blood and imaging biomarkers in pulmonary artery hypertension
This study tracks natural changes in “biomarkers” (measurable signals in blood) and imaging findings in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or suspected PAH. It also includes healthy people for comparison, helping researchers understand what these signals mean over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT02417740Recruiting
Study of the natural course of noncirrhotic portal hypertension
This study follows people with noncirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) or people at risk for it to better understand how the condition progresses over time. It does not sound like a medication trial—more like careful monitoring to learn what happens in different people.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–100 - NCT02249923Recruiting
Children with pulmonary hypertension registry in Spanish or English
This registry study collects information from children and families affected by pulmonary hypertension to better understand the condition. It may help researchers track outcomes over time and improve future care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 1 day–21 years - NCT07075588Recruiting
Food and coaching to lower blood pressure for Black and Hispanic adults
This study tests a program that helps people manage their blood pressure by offering healthy food choices, personal diet coaching, and text messages that match your culture. It's for Black/African American or Hispanic/Latino adults living in certain low-income areas of Maryland.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21–70 - NCT07613099RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new PET scan to detect lung and heart scarring
This study tests a new imaging scan (called 18F-FAPI PET/CT) that may help detect scarring in the lungs, heart, or blood vessels. If you have a heart, lung, or blood vessel condition that could cause scarring, this scan might show damage earlier and help doctors plan better treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT07064473RecruitingPhase 3
Testing vicadrostat plus empagliflozin for diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease
This study tests a new pill called vicadrostat taken with another medicine (empagliflozin) to see if it helps people with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. It may reduce the risk of heart problems, but you must not have had heart failure or use certain other heart medications.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06402968Recruiting
Clevidipine for treating high blood pressure after a brain bleed
This trial tests a blood pressure medicine called clevidipine given through an IV to people with a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). The goal is to see if quickly lowering blood pressure helps prevent more bleeding and improve recovery.
Frederick, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05967299RecruitingPhase 1
IV ZMA001 study in healthy adults
This Phase 1 trial tests how an IV medicine called ZMA001 behaves in healthy people and checks for early safety. It may help future studies of the drug by confirming dosing and effects in people before testing in patients.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–60 - NCT07610278RecruitingPhase 2
Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Treatment Study
This study tests a combination of two new medications (QCZ484 and inclisiran) designed to lower both blood pressure and cholesterol levels. You may be a good fit if you have high blood pressure and high cholesterol that isn't fully controlled by current treatments.
Ft. Washington, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT06742723RecruitingPhase 3
Study of baxdrostat and dapagliflozin for kidney disease and high blood pressure

What taking part in a high blood pressure study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
