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