NCT ID: NCT05836909 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Hypercholesterolemia

Regulation of Lipid Metabolism in Guangzhou Individuals With Dyslipidemia by Red Yeast Rice, Phytosterol Esters and Lycopene

Start date: May 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of using red yeast rice, phytosterol esters and lycopene in combination for 12 weeks on improving the glycolipid metabolism of Guangzhou individuals with dyslipidemia. Our hypothesis is that when compared with placebo, red yeast rice, phytosterol esters and lycopene together as supplements would lead to greater improvements in lipid metabolism (including lipid profiles and parameters ) in participants after 12 weeks.

NCT ID: NCT05750667 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Familial Hypercholesterolemia

Penn Family Screening for Familial Hypercholesterolemia

NHLBI-R33
Start date: January 24, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to test two implementation strategies (automated health system [Penn Medicine]-mediated strategy vs. Family Heart Foundation-mediated strategy using a patient navigator) versus usual care to promote family cascade screening for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in Penn Medicine patients diagnosed with FH ("probands"). The main questions this study aims to answer are: (1) evaluating the effect of the three approaches on reach (proportion of probands who have at least one family member who completes screening), number of family members screened, number of family members diagnosed with FH, and proband LDL-C levels; and (2) identifying implementation strategy mechanisms focusing on health equity using mixed methods and oversampling populations that experience disparities. Participants (probands) in the active arms (health system [Penn Medicine]-mediated, Family Heart Foundation-mediated) will receive messaging that provides education about FH and provides instructions for participating in family cascade screening. A subset of probands will be invited to complete a qualitative interview about their experience receiving the implementation strategy. The research team will compare the active arms to Penn Medicine usual care for cascade screening to evaluate whether the active arms are more effective at promoting cascade screening than usual care.

NCT ID: NCT05284513 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Familial Hypercholesterolemia

Collaborative Approach to Reach Everyone With Familial Hypercholesterolemia (CARE-FH)

CARE-FH
Start date: September 9, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Diagnosis rates of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are low in the United States, despite multiple guidelines and recommendations for screening and treatment of high cholesterol, to prevent heart attacks in those affected. Using a stepped-wedge design, the investigators plan to utilize tools from implementation science to improve uptake, acceptability, and sustainability of FH diagnostic programs in primary care settings. If successful, this study will provide tools generalizable to other health care systems to improve FH diagnosis rates.

NCT ID: NCT05271305 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Familial Hypercholesterolemia

Pilot Study for a National Screening for Familial Hypercholesterolemia

EARLIE
Start date: September 4, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

A pilot study to study the feasibility of the screening of familial hypercholesterolemia within the setting of the legal medical visits at primary school. The pilot study shall evaluate whether this screening set-up is efficient to detect patients having familial hypercholesterolemia, detect further patients by an adjacent cascade screening of family members, to deliver treatment to these patients and to provide this screening in a cost-effective manner.

NCT ID: NCT04929457 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Hypercholesterolemia

Evaluation of a Digiphysical Screening Method to Identify and Diagnose Familial Hypercholesterolemia

DigiLipids
Start date: September 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Longitudinal and observational registry-based cohort study of individuals participating in the national digiphysical screening program for Familial Hypercholesterolemia. The information collected in the screening process will be combined in pseudo-anonymous form with data from the National Board of Health and Welfare (registries: Cause of Death, Diagnoses according to International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and Prescribed drugs) and Statistic Sweden (Longitudinal integrated database for health insurance and labour market studies). Primary analysis: association between Familial Hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular disease. Secondary analysis: efficacy and health economic aspects of digiphysical screening for Familial Hypercholesterolemia.

Improving Identification of Familial Hypercholesterolaemia in Primary Care (FAMCAT)

FAMCAT
Start date: June 12, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Multi-centre, non-randomised, non-controlled quasi-experimental study with nested qualitative study and economic appraisal. Improving the identification of patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease in primary care, caused by conditions such as familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), is a well-recognised national priority to prevent morbidity and mortality by early effective intervention. This study will prospectively evaluate the clinical utility of the new primary care FH identification tool (FAMCAT) for identifying undiagnosed FH in routine primary care practice; and to assess its appropriateness, acceptability and cost-effectiveness. This study will answer the following research questions (RQ): 1. What is the detection rate for new genetically-confirmed FH cases using the FAMCAT algorithm? 2. Is the FAMCAT tool appropriate and acceptable to practitioners and patients? 3. How can the FAMCAT tool be optimised to improve identification of FH? 4. What is the potential cost-effectiveness of the FAMCAT tool compared with current practice to identify patients with FH? 5. Can the FAMCAT intervention be improved? 6. What definitive study design and outcome measures are needed to provide robust evidence on whether to introduce FAMCAT into primary care practice? RQ(1) & (3) will be answered by a quasi-experimental diagnostic accuracy study; RQ(2) & (5) answered by qualitative study; RQ (4) answered by economic appraisal and RQ(6) informed by all previous studies.

NCT ID: NCT03428061 Enrolling by invitation - Hypertension Clinical Trials

The ZWOlle Transmural Integrated Care for CArdiovaScular Risk Management Study

ZWOT-CASE
Start date: September 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) contributes importantly to mortality and morbidity. Prevention of CVD by lifestyle change and medication is important and needs full attention. In the Netherlands an integrated program for cardiovascular risk management (CVRM), based on the Chronic Care Model (CCM), has been introduced in many regions in recent years, but evidence from studies that this approach is beneficial is very limited. In the ZWOT-CASE study the investigators will assess the effect of integrated care for CVRM in the region of Zwolle on two major cardiovascular risk factors: systolic blood pressure (SBP) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol) in patients with or at high risk of CVD. This study is a pragmatic clinical trial comparing integrated care for CVRM with usual care among patients aged 40-80 years with CVD (n= 370) or with a high CVD risk (n= 370) within 26 general practices. After one year follow-up, primary outcomes (SBP and LDL-cholesterol level) are measured. Secondary outcomes include lifestyle habits (smoking, dietary habits, alcohol use, physical activity), risk factor awareness, 10-year risk of cardiovascular morbidity or mortality, health care consumption, patient satisfaction and quality of life.
