Filter by:This trial is to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Rosuvastatin with Atorvastatin by assessing the change of LDL-C in patients with hypercholesterolemia and history of coronary heart disease (CHD) or risk equivalent, or a 10 year CHD risk of no less than 10%, following 6-week treatment and a possible 6 week extension treatment.
To examine whether Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Docosahexaenoic + Eicosapentaenoic Acids (DHA+EPA) supplementation in addition to National Cholesterol Education Program Step I Diet in Hypercholesterolemic Children increases Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) plasma levels in the 2 intervention groups versus placebo. Secondary outcome measure: effect of DHA and DHA+EPA supplementation on blood lipid profile
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 clinical trials demonstrated pronounced reduction of several 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 add on therapy to ezetimibe following 10 weeks of exposure compared to placebo. The aim of the study is to assess efficacy (LDL-cholesterol lowering effects) and safety of KB2115 and to define a clinically relevant dose or dose range for future studies.
In an observational multi-centre study (HEROS), the effects of starting treatment with rosuvastatin were assessed, on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goal achievement, in patients with a dissimilar high-risk profile who had not been treated with cholesterol lowering drugs at least in the past three months. Also set-up costs of rosuvastatin treatment and proportional changes in LDL-C and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were studied.
This study is designed to assess whether colesevelam given as third line treatment added to a maximal tolerated and stable dose of a statin and ezetimibe is able to further decrease the level of LDL cholesterol in a safe and efficient manner in difficult to treat Familial Hypercholesterolaemia patients who are not at their target level of LDL cholesterol.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of ezetimibe/simvastatin in patients newly diagnosed with dyslipidemia.
To compare the efficacy of various doses of rosuvastatin with atorvastatin, pravastatin & simvastatin in reducing levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol in subjects with hypercholesterolaemia.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with rosuvastatin following atorvastatin or simvastatin treatment will improve health outcomes for patients at high risk of Coronary heart disease compared to atorvastatin and simvastatin alone.
The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in the carotid artery when subjects receive high or low doses of rosuvastatin.
The purpose of this study is to assess the long term safety of Crestor.
