Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of repeated doses of RN316 in eligible healthy volunteers. RN316 is an investigational drug that is currently being studied as a cholesterol lowering therapy.
This study will test the safety, tolerability, and bioeffects (how the body reacts to the drug) of REGN727 compared with placebo (an inactive substance that contains no medicine) in hyperlipidemic patients with or without atorvastatin therapy. The study drug and placebo will be administered by subcutaneous injection at the clinic. There will be a total of 2 or 3 study drug injections over 16 clinic visits, which will include 3 overnight stays(study duration 148 days, not including the screening period). Patients on atorvastatin will take their daily dose in the morning for the duration of the study. Patients will be monitored by the study staff for side effects and the body's response to the study drug. Vital signs(blood pressure, temperature, breathing and heart rate) will be checked, and blood and urine samples will be collected at some or all visits.
This study will compare the lipid-altering efficacy and safety of switching to co-administration of ezetimibe and atorvastatin versus treatment with atorvastatin or rosuvastatin in high cardiovascular risk patients with hypercholesterolemia who have not achieved specified low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. The primary hypothesis is that the co-administration of ezetimibe 10 mg and atorvastatin 10 mg will be superior to both atorvastatin 20 mg and rosuvastatin 10 mg with respect to the percentage reduction in low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) after 6 weeks of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to validate the effectiveness of food supplement Limicol on reducing LDL-cholesterol in moderate hypercholesterolemic volunteers.
The primary objective of this study is to measure how LDL apheresis affects levels of inflammatory and cholesterol markers in human beings. The investigators will address this question by drawing pre- and post-LDL apheresis blood from patients who are undergoing this procedure. A secondary objective of this study is to learn how specific inflammatory markers behave in our blood in terms of time to rebound back to normal levels. The investigators will address this question by drawing post-LDL apheresis blood at predetermined time intervals.
To evaluate the possible effects of atorvastatin on ambulatory blood pressure, urinary albumin excretion, insulin resistance and arterial stiffness in hypertensive patients, beyond those on lipid profile. Glycemic parameters, "novel" cardiovascular risk factors and safety parameters will be also evaluated.
Project: An analysis of Diabetes Control in Puerto Rico Hypothesis: This project seeks to determine the causes for: i) poor adherence to prescribed treatment by patients, ii) low compliance by providers with national guidelines iii) barriers impose by health insurance in control of diabetes mellitus iv) effectiveness of a disease management program for treatment adherence by patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamic effects on LDL cholesterol (LDL-C)
This repository will establish for the first time a system to carefully assess and monitor over time the general health and the amount of cholesterol in the arteries of U.S. children and adults with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (hoFH). Patients with this very rare disorder have very high blood levels of cholesterol from birth due to the inheritance of an abnormal gene from each parent. As a result, if untreated, heart attacks and sudden death occur in childhood. Treatments such as LDL-apheresis and liver transplant will lower the cholesterol level, but the best treatment and the best way to monitor the effect of the treatment on the arteries are unknown. The collection of clinical data and blood for analysis of known and yet-to-be discovered markers and predictors of arterial disease will yield new information about the natural history of the disorder and response to treatment. The repository will greatly aid the development of specific protocols that seek to learn more about this disease and new therapies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Dehypotin® in the Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus or Cardiovascular Disease. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 arms, either Dehypotin® or placebo, and will receive the diet advisement throughout the study.
