Filter by:A total of 120 patients will be entered in this study to assess the safety and efficacy of enteric coated sevelamer (ECS) to lower LDL cholesterol. Patients will be randomized into two active treatment groups, two placebo groups and one active control group.
Evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy AEGR-733 plus atorvastatin 20 mg versus monotherapy on serum lipoproteins over 4 and 8 weeks of therapy. The primary efficacy parameter is percent change in LDL-C after 8 weeks of therapy.
The study explores efficacy and safety of the lipid-lowering therapy with CRESTOR in statin-naive patients and in patients with previously unsuccessful statin therapy. This study was designed to investigate the dynamic of the lipid parameters and therapy tolerability during 8-10 weeks treatment with CRESTOR
The survey will try to establish the proportion of patients on lipid-lowering pharmacological treatment reaching the LDL-C goals according to the third NCEP ATP guidelines, overall and by country.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of MK-6213 as compared to MK-6213/Atorvastatin in participants 18 to 75 years) with high cholesterol.
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 South Asian Canadians with documented coronary artery disease or diabetes and hypercholesterolemia with LDL-C levels > 2.0 mmol/L after 4 weeks of monotherapy with any statin: To compare the percent (%) of patients who achieve an LDL-C concentration of 2.0mmol/L after a 6-week course of treatment with ezetimibe 10 mg/day co-administered with any statin at any dose versus doubling of the current statin dose.
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.
