Filter by:This study is being performed to evaluate what variants of lipid-lowering therapy are used in Russian clinical practice in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with hypercholesterolemia in whom the initial statin therapy did not achieve low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) goals. Additionally, the efficacy and safety of all variants of modified lipid-lowering therapy are to be evaluated.
This observational study is being conducted in patients receiving statin treatment as secondary prevention of coronary heart disease under the current standard of care in compliance with European guidelines. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the percentage of these patients that reach target LDL levels. Additionally this study will measure the patient's compliance to treatment as assessed by counting the returned tablets. Both assessments will be made at visits conducted 6-8 weeks after the first visit and 28-32 weeks after the first visit.
Study hypothesis: Multifactorial risk reduction in coronary heart disease can reduce the risk of new coronary heart disease and death
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.
This study will evaluate the potential of RO4607381 to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in stable coronary heart disease patients with recent Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and evaluate the long term safety profile of the drug. Eligible patients in stable condition will be randomized to receive either RO4607381 600mg po or placebo po, daily, together with a background of standard medication for ACS (including aspirin, antihypertensives and statins). The anticipated time on study treatment is 2+ years, and the target sample size is 15,600 individuals.
This study will assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of RO4607381 in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD risk equivalents. Patients will be randomized to receive either RO4607381 600mg po daily or placebo po daily. Endothelial function will be measured by flow mediated dilatation and blood pressure monitoring will be assessed. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 12 months, and the target sample size is up to 500 individuals.
This study will assess the effect of RO4607381, compared to placebo, on atherosclerotic plaque in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) including patients with other CHD risk factors. After a pre-randomisation period during which positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT) and MRI will be conducted, patients will be randomized to receive either RO4607381 600mg po daily, or placebo po daily. PET/CT and MRI scans will be taken at intervals during the study. The anticipated time on study treatment is 2 years, and the target sample size is 100 individuals.
At the time of hysterectomy for benign disease, the overall health benefits of preserving ovarian function in a large population of women have not been established.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of 8 weeks of treatment with Rosuvastatin with 8 weeks of treatment with Atorvastatin on low density lipoprotein cholesterol level in subjects with hypercholesterolemia and coronary heart disease (CHD) or at high risk of CHD..
The purpose of this study is to compare 6 weeks of treatment with rosuvastatin alone compared with 6 weeks of treatment of rosuvastatin combined with ezetimibe in achieving low density lipoprotein level goals.
