NCT ID: NCT00794677 Completed - Clinical trials for Hypercholesterolemia

Effects of Ezetimibe on the Absorption of Oxidized Cholesterol

Start date: June 2006
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to test the effects of Zetia™ (ezetimibe) 10 milligrams (mg) on the absorption of oxysterol into the blood following a meal containing oxysterol.

NCT ID: NCT00794664 Completed - Clinical trials for Hypercholesterolemia

Safety and Efficacy of Mipomersen in Patients With Severe Hypercholesterolemia on a Maximally Tolerated Lipid-Lowering Regimen and Who Are Not on Apheresis

Start date: January 2009
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dosing with mipomersen for 26 weeks in treating severely hypercholesterolemic patients who are on a maximally tolerated lipid-lowering regimen and who are not on apheresis.

NCT ID: NCT00793364 Completed - Clinical trials for Hypercholesterolemia

Effect of Plant Stanol Ester-Containing Spread on Estimated Cardiovascular Risk in Comparison to Mediterranean Diet

Start date: November 2008
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Since it is very difficult to have the real thing (Mediterranean diet) we need to find an alternative to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in subjects with moderate hypercholesterolaemia (a major CVD risk factor) living in western countries. Therefore, this proposed study is designed to assess if giving olive oil supplements, with or without stanol ester, is equivalent to following a Mediterranean diet. Furthermore, the stanol-olive oil combination may prove to be superior to olive oil alone.

NCT ID: NCT00783263 Completed - Clinical trials for Hypercholesterolemia

A Study of Ezetimibe Added On to Rosuvastatin Versus Up Titration of Rosuvastatin in Patients With Hypercholesterolemia (MK0653-139)

Start date: November 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

A study to evaluate the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering efficacy of the addition of ezetimibe to rosuvastatin compared with doubling dose of rosuvastatin in participants treated with rosuvastatin alone and not at their National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) LDL-C goal

NCT ID: NCT00782184 Completed - Clinical trials for Hypercholesterolemia

Ezetimibe/Simvastatin (10 mg/40 mg) vs. the Doubling of Atorvastatin in High Risk Participants (MK-0653A-134 AM1)(COMPLETED)

Start date: November 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Participants currently taking atorvastatin 20 mg will be switched to either atorvastatin 40 mg or ezetimibe/simvastatin 10 mg/40 mg (10/40). After 6 weeks of treatment, the percent reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) will be assessed and compared between the two treatment groups.

NCT ID: NCT00777517 Completed - Clinical trials for Hypercholesterolemia

Bioequivalence Study On Pediatric Appropriate Formulation

Start date: November 2008
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

To determine bioequivalence of a atorvastatin pediatric formulation comparing to the 10 mg commercial atorvastatin calcium tablet formulation.

NCT ID: NCT00776321 Completed - Clinical trials for Primary Hypercholesterolemia

Eprotirome for the Treatment of Dyslipidemia, Efficacy and Safety 12-Week, Phase ii Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of KB2115 in Patients With Primary Hypercholesterolemia

Start date: September 2006
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Eprotirome (KB2115) is a liver selective thyroid hormone that can induce hyperthyroidism in the liver, while an euthyroid state is preserved in the extrahepatic tissue. Eprotirome has in a clinical 2-weeks studies demonstrated pronounced reduction of independent risk factors for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of KB2115 as monotherapy following 12 weeks of exposure compared to placebo. The aim of the study is to assess efficacy (LDL-cholesterol lowering effects) and safety of KB2115.

NCT ID: NCT00770146 Completed - Clinical trials for Hypercholesterolemia

Safety and Efficacy of Mipomersen (ISIS 301012) As Add-on Therapy in High Risk Hypercholesterolemic Patients

Start date: November 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dosing with mipomersen for 26 weeks in patients with high cholesterol who are on a maximally tolerated dose of statin and who have a diagnosis that puts them at least at high risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).

NCT ID: NCT00769132 Completed - Clinical trials for Hypercholesterolemia

A Study to Evaluate the Effects of Extended Release (ER) Niacin/Laropiprant, Laropiprant, ER Niacin, and Placebo on Urinary Prostanoid Metabolites in Subjects With High Cholesterol (0524A-075)(COMPLETED)

Start date: August 3, 2007
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential effects of ER niacin/laropiprant, ER niacin, laropiprant, and placebo over the course of seven days on urinary levels of a metabolite of thromboxane A2 (TxA2), as a marker of in vivo platelet reactivity.

NCT ID: NCT00762229 Completed - Clinical trials for Hypercholesterolemia

Evaluation of LDL Cholesterol in Patients Switched From 10 to 5 Milligrams of Zetia (Ezetimibe)

Start date: July 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect on LDL cholesterol levels of converting patients who are receiving the cholesterol absorption inhibitor Zetia at a dose of 10 milligrams to 5 milligrams, when prescribed as a split 10 milligram tablet.
