Filter by:The current study is the first clinical trial proposed with PF-06815345. It is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) following administration of single oral doses of PF-06815345 to healthy adult subjects.
This first-in-human study is intended to evaluate the safety and preliminary effectiveness of AAV (Adeno-associated virus)-based liver-directed gene therapy in the treatment of adults with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).
Hypercholesterolemia is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, asociated primarily with high plasma levels of LDL lipoprotein, which in turn depend on the endogenous hepatic synthesis of cholesterol and its absorption at intestinal level. It has been demonstrated that there reducing plasma LDL is beneficial, mainly with the use of statins, which are the first treatment option for a moderate hypercholesterolemia. Phytosterols reduce the intestinal absorption of cholesterol by reducing its incorporation into lipid micelles. Consequently, phytosterols have become a relevant alternative treatment against low hypercholesterolemia. The target population are 40 to 65 years old individuals with low hypercholesterolemia.
Elevated blood cholesterol, and particularly LDL cholesterol, is a risk factor for heart disease. Tocotrienols are naturally-occurring compounds in foods that may have beneficial effects on blood cholesterol. Tocotrienols are members of the vitamin E family, and are found in barley, oats, rye, coconut oil and rice bran oil, but the richest source of tocotrienols is palm oil. Certain of these tocotrienols have been shown to be effective in lowering LDL (or 'bad') cholesterol, with no adverse effects on the HDL (or 'good') cholesterol. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a palm-oil derived tocotrienol supplement on blood cholesterol, and particularly LDL cholesterol, in individuals who are taking statins, and have either elevated or normal cholesterol levels. Study subjects will consume a palm-oil derived supplement of tocotrienol for 3 months to determine its effects on LDL cholesterol.
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of subcutaneous (SC) evolocumab compared with ezetimibe, on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in hypercholesterolemic adults unable to tolerate an effective dose of a statin.
The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of multiple doses of gemcabene 600 mg QD compared to placebo in patients with hypercholesterolemia not adequately controlled on high-intensity or moderate-intensity stable statin therapy. Patients with HeFH, ASCVD, or otherwise uncontrolled, may be included with baseline LDL-C value ≥ 100 mg/dL. Subjects were randomized 1:1 to gemcabene 600 mg once daily (QD) or placebo.
The aim is to investigate the effects of yoghurt drinks containing two doses of plant stanol ester either with or without added camelina oil on the serum cholesterol levels in moderately hypercholesterolemic subjects
The main purpose of this study is to describe the safety and tolerability of 80 weeks of subcutaneous (SC) evolocumab when added to standard of care in children 10 to 17 years of age with familial hypercholesterolemia.
Primary objective is to assess strawberry intake on LDL cholesterol and its association with atherosclerosis development.
This study evaluates whether ALA intake alters total cholesterol and homeostatic factors and the relationship between these alteration and lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) activity.
