Filter by:This clinical study aims to assess the efficacy of 6 weeks 2.5g dose of TOTUM-070, a mix of 5 plant extracts, on lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health in individuals at increased cardio-metabolic risk.
The purpose of this research study is to determine which of the two ingredients of Vytorin (Simvastatin or Ezetimibe) is responsible for the anti-inflammatory effects of Vytorin
This is an 8-week randomized controlled trial to help address health, resilience, and well-being. Participants are randomized into either a health education group or an arts-based health education group. Both groups will attend for 8 weeks and various study assessments will be conducted in order to measure the experience and impact of the program. Anyone 18 years and older with a chronic health condition (for example, diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, asthma, weight, anxiety, depression, cardiac, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and many more) are eligible to participate.
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the long term safety of PRALUENT in participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) or non-familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) participants at high or very high cardiovascular risk who completed the neurocognitive function study R727-CL-1532 (NCT02957682). The secondary objectives of the study were: - To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) - To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on other lipid parameters - To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on gonadal steroid hormones
A prospective, open-label, pilot study with 24 cardiovascular high risk patients (N=24) having insufficient Low density lipoprotein cholesterin (LDL-C) reduction despite standard of care lipid-modifying therapies (LMTs), to evaluate the effects of potent lipid-therapy intensification via the recently approved monoclonal, human anti-PCSK9 antibody Alirocumab on endothelial function, inflammation, lipoprotein particle subfractions, carotid arteries and post-prandial lipemia in clinical routine at the Medical University of Graz.
This study is being done to learn more about evolocumab in Chinese people with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia. This study will see if evolocumab will reduce low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in Chinese people who are also taking a certain type of lipid-lowering medication (statins with or without ezetimibe) and whether it causes any side effects.
Primary Objective: To estimate the overall combined rate of major structural birth defects in infants of mothers with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and/or familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) exposed to Praluent® (alirocumab) during pregnancy when used to treat hypercholesterolemia and to compare that rate to unexposed disease-matched and unexposed non-diseased comparison pregnancies. Secondary Objectives: - Secondary objectives are to estimate the rates of the outcomes in pregnancies/infants of mothers with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or familial hypercholesterolemia exposed to alirocumab during pregnancy when used to treat hypercholesterolemia and to compare that rate to unexposed disease-matched and non-diseased comparison pregnancies, and secondarily to compare the rates of these outcomes in the unexposed disease-matched pregnancies to the rates in the unexposed non-diseased comparison pregnancies. - Safety and tolerability of alirocumab.
The primary goal is to assess the impact of Evolocumab therapy on platelet function of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients in a randomized, double blind study. Evolocumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets circulating PCSK9, increases hepatic LDL receptor, decreases plasma LDL cholesterol and reduces risk of cardiovascular events. Evolocumab (brand name Rapatha) has been approved by FDA along with diet and maximally tolerated statin therapy in adults with FH or atherosclerotic heart or blood vessel problems, who need additional lowering of LDL cholesterol. The secondary goal is to determine if platelet activation or the response to Evolocumab therapy is modified by rs3184504 polymorphism. The investigators believe that these investigations will complement ongoing studies to demonstrate that Evolocumab reduces athero-thrombotic risk and aid the decision-making as to whether Evolocumab can reduce the atherothrombotic risk in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.
This is a prospective observational registry study to evaluate fetal, infant and childhood outcomes in women exposed to evolocumab during pregnancy
To evaluate pregnancy and infant outcomes among females diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), exposed to Repatha® during pregnancy. This includes follow-up of their infants to the age of 12 months
