Filter by:The Investigators will conduct a longitudinal, mixed-methods cohort study to assess primary and secondary psychosocial outcomes among 705 MyCode pediatric participants and their parents, and health behaviors of parents whose children receive an adult- or pediatric-onset genomic result. Data will be gathered via quantitative surveys using validated measures of distress, family functioning, quality of life, body image, perceived cancer/heart disease risk, genetic counseling satisfaction, genomics knowledge, and adjustment to genetic information; qualitative interviews with adolescents and parents; and electronic health records review of parents' cascade testing uptake and initiation of risk reduction behaviors. The investigators will also conduct empirical and theoretical legal research to examine the loss of chance doctrine and its applicability to genomic research.
The Bean Study will examine the effects of consuming two daily amounts of canned beans of multiple varieties on fasting serum cholesterol profile in adults with elevated LDL cholesterol.
This clinical trial seeks to verify the efficacy of a red rice yeast dietary supplement in the decrease of cardiovascular risk, by assessing variables related with cardiovascular risk as levels of cholesterol, triglycerides and transaminases among other, in two groups of participants that will be taking either the dietary supplement or a placebo during a six months period.
IBI306 is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds proprotein convertase substilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK-9), preventing its interaction with the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol receptor (LDL-R) and thereby restoring LDL-R recycling and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol（LDL-C）uptake. In phase I study IBI306 was shown to be safe and well tolerated. There was robust reduction in LDL-C, Apo(B), non-HDL-C and lipoprotein (a) in healthy subjects. This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeated-dosing, multiple ascending dose trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a novel PCSK-9 anti-body, IBI306, in Chinese patients with hypercholesterolemia.
The purpose of this extension study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of long-term dosing of Inclisiran. The study was a global multicenter study.
The clinical Investigation will be performed to compare the safety and effectiveness of the CE certified and established lipoprotein apheresis systems MONET vs. DALI and DIAMED vs. DALI for optimizing the individual therapy of patients with severe dyslipidemia using established and novel efficacy parameters.
This study will evaluate the EZ/Ator fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet (MK-0653C) as second line Low-Density Lipoprotein - Cholesterol (LDL-C) treatment in Chinese participants. The primary hypothesis is that MK-0653C 10/10 mg is superior to atorvastatin 20 mg in percent change from baseline in LDL-C to 12 weeks after treatment.
We are performing a pilot cross-over diet study involving 5 patients with heterozygous FH and 5 patients with unexplained ADH. The patients will be randomized to a low versus high saturated fat diet for 4 weeks each. We hypothesize that patients with unexplained ADH may have an exaggerated cholesterol response to saturated fat intake. The specific aim of this study is to quantify the increase in LDL-C in unexplained ADH patients compared to FH patients. The pilot study proposed here will develop preliminary data to be used for future funding proposals of larger, randomized studies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetcs and pharmacodynamics of single- and multiple doses of ARO-ANG3 in healthy adult volunteers and in dyslipidemic patients including familial hypercholesterolemia and severe hypertriglyceridemia.
High cholesterol is one of the major controllable risk factor for coronary heart disease. It is well demonstrated that drugs that reduce the intestinal absorption of cholesterol or block the synthesis of cholesterol or the association of both, can reduce cholesterol and reduce rate of cardiovascular events. The trial will evaluate natural alternative to this drug approach testing the effects of a combination of phytosterol, a nutritional that reduce cholesterol absorption, and fermented red rice, a nutritional that reduce the synthesis of cholesterol. Subjects with sub optimal blood cholesterol levels, matching all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria, will be treated for 8 weeks with a nutraceutical combination of phytosterols and fermented red rice and will have to maintain, during the entire duration of the study, the Mediterranean-style diet provided. The study will evaluate as primary objective the changes in LDL cholesterol blood levels and more in general the modulation of lipid profile and of others clinical parameters as well as the tolerability.
