Filter by:Ketogenic diet therapies (KDTs) emphasize high fat and very low carbohydrate intake and help to control seizures in adults who fail to respond to medications. However, KDT use can lead to increased cholesterol levels in some adults with epilepsy (AWE). Treatments that can reverse elevations in cholesterol observed with long-term KDT use without compromising diet adherence and seizure control are needed. The proposed study will explore the feasibility and safety of diet modification and statin use to lower cholesterol in this population. Study findings will help guide doctors utilizing KDTs in adults with epilepsy on how to approach managing elevations in cholesterol.
The purpose of this study is to prevent kidney disease progression in adults with advanced chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] between 15-45 mL/min/1.73 m2) using intensive blood pressure control and intensive lipid management with 2X2 factorial design.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fixed-Dose combination of Pitavastatin/Ezetimibe under the real-world condition
The purpose of the current study is to examine the effects of a dietary supplement containing plant derived phenolics at two different dose levels in otherwise generally healthy adults with risk factors (high BMI at dyslipidemia and/or pre-diabetes) for body fat composition. The primary hypothesis is that supplementation with plant derived phenolics will decrease body fat composition compared to placebo.
The goal of this observational study is to assess in the long term efficacy and safety of ezefeno. The primary endpoint are: - major adverse cardiovascular events within 48 months of the trial duration - microvascular events within 48 months of the trial duration
The proposed 6-month pilot Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomize Trial (SMART) has two aims. The first and primary aim is to determine the feasibility of conducting a full-scale SMART to compare weight-focused (i.e., weight loss) and weight-neutral (i.e., weight loss is not an explicit goal) adaptive biobehavioral interventions for improving cardiometabolic health in Black adults with overweight or obesity (BMI ≥27 kg/m2) plus at least one weight-related cardiometabolic condition (high blood pressure, prediabetes or diabetes, and/or high cholesterol). Biobehavioral interventions are treatment strategies that combine lifestyle-based behavioral interventions such as eating a healthy diet and exercise with medications. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either weight-focused or weight-neutral health coaching for 7 weeks. At week 8, participants will be identified as either "responders" or "nonresponders" to the initial interventions. The threshold for response in the weight-focused condition is greater than or equal to 3% weight loss. The threshold for response in the weight-neutral condition is engaging in greater than or equal to 150 minutes of moderate physical activity for the 7 days prior to the week 8 study visit. Responders to the initial interventions will continue with health coaching on a biweekly basis for weeks 9-26 of the intervention. Nonresponders will be re-randomized to either intensify the lifestyle-based intervention by receiving a membership to the YMCA and enrolling in group fitness classes or augmenting the health coaching with enhanced medical management in partnership with their established primary care provider. The second aim is to use clinical data from the pilot SMART to estimate treatment effects and the between-person variability in these effects. Because this is a pilot study, these estimates will not be used to make comparisons or draw conclusions on the comparative effectiveness of intervention conditions. Rather, these data will be used to generate preliminary effect sizes that can be used to estimate the sample size required for a full-scale trial. Clinical trial feasibility data will be collected on an ongoing basis throughout the study and clinical data will be collected prior to initiating the intervention (baseline) and at week 8 (response visit) and week 26 (post-intervention visit).
This is a Phase IV multicentre adaptive single-blinded randomized clinical trial if preemptively genotyping populations at risk of cardiovascular disease susceptible of receiving high or moderate doses of statin therapy is efficacious, cost-efficacious, and feasible within the Spanish National Health System when compared to the current standard of care. This trial is nested within the iPHARMGx master protocol
Eating healthy foods can help people manage health problems, like Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Many people want to eat healthier, but changing eating behaviors is hard. Patients don't always know what foods to eat for their health problems and are hesitant to try foods that may be unfamiliar. These challenges are made more difficult when families have lower incomes, which makes accessing healthy foods difficult and trying new foods riskier when on a budget. Food is Medicine programs connect people to healthy foods that help them manage health problems. One example is a medically tailored grocery program. This program provides a patient with free groceries selected to help their medical condition. For example, a patient receives fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-salt, low-sugar foods if they have high blood pressure. Food resource coaching is another strategy for eating healthy food. This approach provides a coach that supports learning healthy eating habits when facing financial challenges by using available food resources. Among other strategies, a coach may teach the participant how to meal plan and shop at nearby stores to increase healthy and delicious eating patterns. In our study, the investigators will ask lower-income patients with at least one chronic health problem at a safety-net clinic if they want to participate in a Food is Medicine program. Patients that want to participate will be randomly placed in one of two groups. One group will get medically tailored groceries and food resource coaching from a free food market for four months. The other group will get free food from the same market for four months, but food will not be medically tailored, and they will not meet with a coach. Participants will have the option to continue getting food from the market at the end of the study if they want to. This study will help us learn what patients think about Food is Medicine programs and how to best carry out these programs in the future. The study will also help us determine if providing medically tailored groceries and food resource coaching helps patients improve their diet. The investigators will use what is learned in this study to create a larger and longer program that can be provided in safety-net clinics throughout Dallas-Fort Worth. Our main goal is to build a sustainable and helpful program for patients that may not otherwise have access to healthy foods and eating habits that set the foundation for better health.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of phytoestrogen from Pueraria Mirifica in improvement of serum lipid parameters. The primary question it aims to answer are: • phytoestrogen from Pueraria Mirifica can reduce serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL and increase HDL or not Participants will receive capsules which composed of dry weight 50 mg of Pueraria Mirifica twice a day for 2 months. Researchers will compare with starch capsules to see if there is the improvement of serum lipid parameters
The study aims to evaluate the effect of the nattokinase enzyme on inflammation and markers of cardiovascular risk in participants with dyslipidemia. A longitudinal double-blind randomized clinical trial will be carried out, involving hypertensive participants with dyslipidemia for two months.
