Primary1. To determine whether treatment with an aliskiren-based regimen (in part combined with amlodipine or hydrochlorothiazide) compared to a non-aliskiren based regimen, both on top of non-study BP lowering agents where applicable, reduces the…
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the ALIMAXX-B* covered biliary stent.The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate technical success of stent placement, , re-interventions and time to occlusion.
Main objective: * To evaluate the effect and variation of 3 and 12 months treatment with Aliskeren-based versus amlodipine-based antihypertensive treatment on aneurismal FDG- uptakeExploratory objectives: * To explore the effect of 3 and 12 months…
Primary objective:To assess and compare the effects of aliskiren/amlodipine and amlodipine on pedal edema after 4 weeks of treatment as measured by ankle foot volume (AFV) (water displacement method) in patients with mild to moderate hypertension.…

The primary objectives are to investigate which determinants (primarily carnitine status) determine the effect of carnitine supplementation on metabolic flexibility and insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, a secondary…
To compare the blood pressure lowering effect of thiazides against calcium channel blockers in CNI-induced hypertension.
The primary objectives are to investigate whether L-carnitine infusion may rescue lipid-induced insulin resistance and whether L-carnitine infusion is improving metabolic flexibility in the state of lipid-induced insulin resistance. Furthermore,…
To compare the blood pressure lowering effect of thiazides against calcium channel blockers in CNI-induced hypertension.
To examine the impact of medication induced systolic BP (SBP) reductions >=10 mmHg, while reaching a treatment target of <=140 mmHg, on cerebral blood flow (CBF) in frail elderly with untreated or uncontrolled systolic hypertension at…
Primary objective:To test the hypothesis that the calcium channel blocker amlodipine has a superior beneficial effect on cerebrovascular reactivity in patients with symptomatic SVDs when compared to either the Angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor…
