Filter by:We evaluated the effectiveness of a combination of a comprehensive health assessment consisting of the combination of a screening full body scan employing graphic patient education and motivational techniques followed by intensive, individualized behavioral training and management program on improved adherence to beneficial lifestyle behaviors, as well as possibly reduced risk of disease.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, multiple ascending dose (MAD) study to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles of HTD1801 in overweight to obese adults with hypercholesterolemia. There were 3 cohorts of dose levels as 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/day, with 16 subjects planned for each cohort randomized 3:1 to receive either HTD1801 or Placebo.
Primary Objective: To estimate the overall combined rate of major structural birth defects in infants of mothers with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and/or familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) exposed to Praluent® (alirocumab) during pregnancy when used to treat hypercholesterolemia and to compare that rate to unexposed disease-matched and unexposed non-diseased comparison pregnancies. Secondary Objectives: - Secondary objectives are to estimate the rates of the outcomes in pregnancies/infants of mothers with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or familial hypercholesterolemia exposed to alirocumab during pregnancy when used to treat hypercholesterolemia and to compare that rate to unexposed disease-matched and non-diseased comparison pregnancies, and secondarily to compare the rates of these outcomes in the unexposed disease-matched pregnancies to the rates in the unexposed non-diseased comparison pregnancies. - Safety and tolerability of alirocumab.
IBI306 is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds proprotein convertase substilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), 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. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled,single ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of IBI306 in healthy adults.
Serum cholesterol is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which despite considerable reduction in prevalence, remains the leading cause of premature mortality worldwide. Although LDL-C continues to be recognized as the primary therapeutic target, accumulating evidence suggests that alternative lipid parameters, non-HDL-C and apoB, may provide predictive value beyond that of LDL-C alone, in most population categories. Numerous lifestyle strategies have been developed to manage elevated cholesterol concentrations, of which viscous fibre is often encouraged for its beneficial effects on LDL-C reduction. Conversely, the effects of viscous fibre on new lipid markers, non-HDL and apoB, have yet to be defined. Therefore, this study seeks to elucidate the therapeutic potential of psyllium fibre on totality of atherogenic cholesterol and lipoprotein particles in a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
The primary goal is to assess the impact of Evolocumab therapy on platelet function of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients in a randomized, double blind study. Evolocumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets circulating PCSK9, increases hepatic LDL receptor, decreases plasma LDL cholesterol and reduces risk of cardiovascular events. Evolocumab (brand name Rapatha) has been approved by FDA along with diet and maximally tolerated statin therapy in adults with FH or atherosclerotic heart or blood vessel problems, who need additional lowering of LDL cholesterol. The secondary goal is to determine if platelet activation or the response to Evolocumab therapy is modified by rs3184504 polymorphism. The investigators believe that these investigations will complement ongoing studies to demonstrate that Evolocumab reduces athero-thrombotic risk and aid the decision-making as to whether Evolocumab can reduce the atherothrombotic risk in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.
Aortic stenosis (AE) is a disease that has been increasing steadily in recent years in most countries, including Spain.Risk factors for the development of AE include age, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension, the classic risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis. However, lipid-lowering therapy with statins and ezetimibe has not been shown to reduce the risk of long-term progression of AE by unknown mechanisms. All this suggests that subjects with HFhe have a high risk of developing AD, which has not been shown by the high coronary mortality in this population that precedes aortic calcification
A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Phase III Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Combination Therapy of Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe and Rosuvastatin Monotherapy in Patients with Primary Hypercholesterolemia
The purpose of the study is to investigate the cholesterol lowering efficacy of a cereal based snack bar with added plant stanol ester when used between meals as part of a habitual diet by subjects with mild to moderate hypercholesterolemia.
The purpose of this study is to validate the use of the FH Foundation FIND FH® Algorithm as a clinical decision support tool. FIND FH (Flag/Identify/Network/Engage) is a national initiative that utilizes machine learning and data mining techniques to identify individuals whose profiles are consistent with FH patients. The algorithm will be tested in adults with at least one cardiovascular comorbidity. Study subjects will be asked to provide either a saliva, buccal or venous blood sample for DNA and biomarker analysis
