The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety of JTT-705 and to demonstrate efficacy of JTT-705 compared with placebo when co-administered with atorvastatin 20 mg in patients with low HDL
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety of JTT-705 and to demonstrate efficacy of JTT-705 compared with placebo when co-administered with simvastatin 40 mg in patients with low HDL
The first phase of the study is a hospital-based cross-sectional, epidemiological survey. The required sample size is 1,260 patients from 50 hospitals across Thailand. Each of the hospital will enroll 10 to 40 consecutive patients, depending on case availability on the date conducting the survey, with dyslipidemia and classified as high risk as defined by the protocol. Lipid levels will be based on serological analysis conducted by a local laboratory. For the second phase, each subject will be followed for survival status at 36 months after enrollment. Such follow-up will be done by searching the Thai National Vital Event Registration Database using subjects' Population Identification Number. All activities regarding case selection and data collection will be done by well trained clinical research associates (CRAs). The CRAs are from Khon Kaen University where the Statistical Coordinating Center (SCC) for this project is based and are independent of the investigator. Random auditing visits will also be performed by auditors independent of the SCC. These are to ensure not only high quality data but also protecting right and well being of subjects.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of ABT-335 plus rosuvastatin in dyslipidemic subjects with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage 3.
The primary objective of this trial is to assess the continued efficacy of Omacor co-administered with simvastatin for lowering non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HCL-C) levels.
The objectives of the study are: 1. To evaluate the effect of ABT-335 (choline fenofibrate) on several parameters of RCT (reverse cholesterol transport) in men and post-menopausal women diagnosed with dyslipidemia (i.e., low high-density lipoprotein [HDL] cholesterol levels and elevated triglyceride [TG] concentrations). 2. To evaluate longitudinal changes in several parameters of RCT in subjects with low HDL. 3. To obtain pilot data for power calculations for subsequent comparative study.
The purpose of the study is to show the compliance rates of the patients to statin treatment and the reasons of non-compliance.
An antioxidant dietary supplement made from cocoa powder, and extracts of acai, grape and blueberry will be tested for effects on blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol and related parameters in human subjects.
Employees in developed societies are becoming increasingly sedentary at work and at home due to technological advances. Physical inactivity coupled with excess intake of calorie-rich foods are responsible for the epidemic of obesity. In population cohorts, physical inactivity and obesity increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and death. Because of the impact on productivity and health care costs, many businesses and other organizations have initiated "wellness" programs, often with facilities at the work site to encourage exercise. Although these programs have often resulted in improved fitness for participants, weight loss has been more difficult to achieve. In this regard, in our initial study of NIH employees participating in NHLBI's Keep the Beat program--two-thirds of whom were overweight or obese--we found improved exercise fitness after 3 months of participation, with exercise averaging 20 minutes each work day, but no significant weight loss. Associated with greater fitness in our participants was improvement in endothelial function, an important biomarker of cardiovascular risk. Because level of fitness is a strong predictor of cardiovascular (and total) mortality in population studies, some investigators and thought leaders have proposed that it is acceptable to be "fat and fit." We found in our study, however, that exercise alone has little effect on insulin sensitivity and other biomarkers of risk, including C-reactive protein, which could limit further improvement in endothelial function and even greater risk reduction. We propose to test in this protocol whether weight loss through supervised nutritional counseling and daily exercise at worksite facilities confers health benefits beyond those achieved with improved fitness alone, such as improvement in endothelial function, arterial compliance, insulin sensitivity, markers of inflammation in blood and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) structure and function. Because obesity in a sedentary workforce environment is especially prevalent among women, with additional contribution of menopause to obesity, our study will be restricted to overweight and obese women to allow appropriate analysis in a cohort of manageable size for our testing resources. The primary endpoint will be differential improvement in endothelial function, as determined by brachial artery reactivity to shear stress, from baseline to 6 months in participants randomized to exercise coupled with weight-loss intervention versus subjects randomized to exercise alone. Secondary analyses will include comparisons of adiposity, arterial stiffness, insulin sensitivity, HDL subparticles and function, and markers of inflammation and adipokines in blood, with exploratory analyses of minorities and age/hormonal interactions. Demonstration of improved vascular function and other biomarkers of cardiovascular risk with improved fitness combined with weight loss may serve as an incentive for greater participation in organization-initiated wellness programs with emphasis both on exercise and on personalized nutritional counseling.
