Alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9). Primary Objective of the study: To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels after 24 weeks of treatment in comparison with placebo. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the effect of alirocumab in comparison with placebo on LDL-C at other time points - To evaluate the effects of alirocumab on other lipid parameters - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab

The primary aim of this study is to compare, in a group of at-risk individuals, the role of three dietary patterns on indices of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk: a) the recommended Korean pattern; b) the typical American diet, based on national dietary intake surveys; and c) the 2010 DGA diet pattern. A secondary aim will be to assess the effects of each diet on intestinal microbiota and on inflammatory biomarkers.
This was a multicenter survey of patients who were on lipid -lowering pharmacological treatment in 2 Levant countries namely Jordan and Lebanon. The purpose is to study the effects of cholesterol lowering drugs on the blood cholesterol levels of patients in Jordan and Lebanon. Data collected from each patient took place at a single visit. Each participating doctor filled the investigator questionnaire on his/her experience and perception of the management of the hypercholesterolemia of his/her patients. Each doctor was asked to indicate his/her general attitude on the diagnosis of hypercholesterolemia, the existing guidelines and goals and the various treatment options for high cholesterol in blood. Before being assessed by the investigator, patients recorded, on the patient questionnaire, their awareness of high blood cholesterol , their current lipid-lowering treatment schedule, their understanding of their condition and compliance in taking the medications on time. The investigators completed a Patient Record Form (PRF) with the patient's basic information, cardiovascular risk factors and the cardiovascular medical history, current lipid lowering drug treatment and the reason for the current therapy. A blood sample under fasting condition was drawn from each subject. A central laboratory in Jordan received all samples. Every sample was analyzed for its cholesterol blood level, fasting sugar level and hemoglobin A1C levels.
This study will examine the effect of ezetimibe on glucose metabolism in participants with Type 2 diabetes and hypercholesterolemia.The primary hypothesis is that change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline in the ezetimibe treatment group will be non-inferior to the placebo control group.
The investigators purpose is to study how CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy)-based weight loss program affects on eating behavior, weight loss and risk factors for CHD (coronary heart diseases)and type 2 diabetes. Moreover, the investigators aim is to recognize subjects suffering from anhedonia (one of the core symptoms of depression, lack of pleasure) and follow how they benefit from the program in order to achieve maintained weight loss. Also, the associations between weight loss, physical activity and musculoskeletal disorders are studied.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the pharmacodynamic (PD) effect of alirocumab on serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) during 14 weeks of subcutaneous (SC) administered alirocumab in patients with autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH) and gain-of-function mutation (GOFm) in 1 or both alleles of the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) gene or with loss-of-function mutation (LOFm) in 1 or more alleles of the apolipoprotein (ApoB) gene.
Study objective is to evaluate the level of control of hypercholesterolemia in Egypt in patients taking lipid lowering agents for at least 3 months ( with no drug change or dose amendment for a minimum of 6 weeks).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the cholesterol lowering effect of a drinkable low fat fermented milk enriched with plant sterol after 3 and 6 weeks in mildly hypercholesterolemic subjects treated or not by statins.
