Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether mipomersen safely and effectively lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and coronary artery disease (CAD) who are already on a stable dose of other lipid-lowering agents (including maximally tolerated statin therapy).
This study is a non-interventional (observational) study in Japan to confirm the safety and efficacy of Zetia when administered alone or in combination with other lipid-lowering drugs in daily medical practice throughout a 52-week period. It is being conducted as a post-approval commitment, in accordance with the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's guideline on Good Post-marketing Study Practice. Post-marketing surveys are not considered applicable clinical trials and thus the results of this survey will not be posted at its conclusion. The results will be submitted to public health officials as required by applicable national and international laws.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering in an Indonesian population treated with ezetimibe co-administered with a statin in routine daily practice. In addition, the study will investigate whether and to what extent the target levels set by the participating doctors are achieved by the co-administration therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Ezetimibe when used alone or in combination with a statin in patients with hypercholesterolemia
This study is a non-interventional (observational) study in Japan to confirm the safety and efficacy of Zetia when administered alone or in combination with other lipid-lowering drugs in daily medical practice throughout a 12-week period. It is being conducted as a post-approval commitment, in accordance with the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's guideline on Good Post-marketing Study Practice. Post-marketing surveys are not considered applicable clinical trials and thus the results of this survey will not be posted at its conclusion. The results will be submitted to public health officials as required by applicable national and international laws.
We aimed to address the issue whether statins affect insulin resistance. To this end, we combined the available state-of-the art technology for detailed assessment of both whole-body and tissue specific insulin sensitivity in vivo in humans (euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp, stable isotope [6,6-2H2]glucose dilution technique, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy - 1H MRS - of liver and skeletal muscle). Outcome measures were determined before and after 8 weeks therapy with 80 mg Simvastatin in hypercholesterolemic patients with type 2 diabetes.
This is a prospective, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial comparing the the effects of approximately 7 weeks of placebo treatment to 7 weeks of ezetimibe (10mg/day) treatment on several parameters of reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in men and post-menopausal women diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia. The primary hypothesis is that the ezetimibe treatment will increase the excretion of endogenous (plasma-derived) cholesterol as fecal sterols, with secondary hypotheses that there will be a significant increase in de novo cholesterol synthesis, treatment will increase cholesterol efflux from tissues into the bloodstream, and increase global RCT.
The aim was to investigate the effects of the consumption of high doses of plant stanol esters on concentrations of serum lipids, carotenoids and fat soluble vitamins. In addition, we investigated the metabolism of absorbed plant sterols from intestine without and with the consumption of plant stanol esters.
This is a single-arm, phase IV, open-label, prospective, non interventional study to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability and safety of rosuvastatin administered for 24 weeks in approximately 900 Greek subjects with hypercholesterolemia under normal clinical practice.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of extended dosing with mipomersen (ISIS 301012) in participants with familial hypercholesterolemia or severe hypercholesterolemia on lipid-lowering therapy who had completed either the 301012-CS5 (NCT00607373), 301012-CS7 (NCT00706849), 301012-CS17 (NCT00477594) or MIPO3500108 (NCT00794664) clinical drug trials.
