View clinical trials related to Hypercholesterolemia.
Filter by:Familial hypercholesterolemia is the most common inherited disease of the lipid metabolism, however it remains underdiagnosed. Only 15 % of 30.000 possible patients have been found in Denmark. This quality assessing project will through a step wedge cluster randomized controlled trial evaluate establishment of a biochemistry interpretive comment on elevated LDL-C levels. The study will test if the comment results in an increase in referred patients to the lipid clinics of Southern Denmark as the primary endpoint, and as the secondary endpoint in more patients diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia. The project will run in totally 52 weeks and will in steps initiate the comment from the different laboratories in the Region of Southern Denmark.
This is an open-label study designed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of evinacumab, a fully human ANGPTL3 antibody, in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), in a real-life setting in Canada. Eligible patients for this study are male and female adult patients with HoFH. Evinacumab will be added on top of the patient's background lipid-modifying therapy (LMT), including statins, ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitors, lomitapide or other lipid lowering therapies. This study will be conducted using an hybrid (on-site, foldable sites) approach. Patients will enter the current study, in an open-label treatment period, following their screening. This study will continue until reimbursement of evinacumab in Canada or for a maximum of 24 months. The end of study (EoS) visit will be scheduled 4 weeks after the last dose has been injected and will be followed by a 52-week follow-up.
This clinical study aims to assess the efficacy of 6 weeks 2.5g dose of TOTUM-070, a mix of 5 plant extracts, on lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health in individuals at increased cardio-metabolic risk.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of two different daily doses of tetrahydrocannabivarin impregnated mouth strips in healthy non-diabetic obese adults. The main questions to answer are: - Is the low dose treatment superior to placebo for losing weight, abdominal girth, cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels? - Is the low dose treatment superior to placebo for losing weight, abdominal girth, cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels? - Is one dose better than the other dose? Participants will take either the low dose, high dose or placebo dose daily for ninety days and have physical measurements and blood tests obtained at the beginning and the end of the study.
The study observes real world patients with primary hypercholesterolemia who receive a fixed dose combination therapy with atorvastatin and ezetimibe for 24 weeks; collects and analyzes data related to efficacy and safety of the therapy; and evaluates efficacy and safety of the fixed dose combination therapy with atorvastatin and ezetimibe.
In this study, a survey of office-based cardiologists and lipid management specialists will be conducted on treatment decisions for NUSTENDI® (bempedoic acid 180 mg fixed dose combination [FDC] with ezetimibe 10 mg) followed by a retrospective chart review of patients at high and very-high cardiovascular risk with hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia who were treated with FDC as add-on to treatment with maximally tolerated statin therapy in routine clinical practice.
Several studies have shown that regular intake of nuts may improve blood lipids. However, few studies have investigated the effects on blood lipids after a single intake of nuts. The present study was conducted in order to evaluate the acute effects of a single intake of Brazil nuts on blood lipids. The study was a non-blinded randomized controlled study with 52 participants, 26 participants in both the Brazil nut group and in the control group. Blood tests were taken at baseline and 3h, 6h, 24h, 7d and 14d after ingestion of either 50g Brazil nuts or an isocaloric amount of coconut flakes. We then conducted an unpaired t-test in order to compare changes in blood lipids between the two groups. P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant
JS002 is a recombinant humanized anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibody. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JS002 prefilled syringes and prefilled autosyringes in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed hyperlipidemia when combined with statin therapy. In this study, one dose group (150 mg) were set up in this study. 240 subjects are plan to be enrolled (the study drug will be assigned to a 2:1 :2:1ratio of JS002 PFS / placebo or JS002 AI / placebo ). Each subject required a maximum of 6 weeks of screening, 12 weeks of treatment, and 8 weeks of follow-up.
The overall objective of this research entity is to reveal the holistic health impact of oats in metabolically challenged individuals in a 6-week intervention, compared to that of rice. This is achieved by investigation of the plasma lipids, plasma antioxidant status, fecal microbiota and fecal bile acids. Additionally the effect of the 6-week diet on posptprandial glycemia and postprandial satiety and vitality are investigated.
This research programme seeks to combine the resources of NHS primary care, with the leading spectroscopic work in low-magnetic fields of the Wilson Group (Nottingham Trent University) to demonstrate the potential for benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in human clinical pathology. This is an instrument assessment study for point of care viability which will also result in enhanced patient care (pending their consent) in blood screenings and metabolic health data.
