Filter by:The overall goal of this study is to determine whether variations in the perilipin, and several other, genes would be a useful tool for physicians who are caring for morbidly obese patients to guide therapy. The main hypotheses to be tested is that sequence variations (polymorphisms) in the perilipin gene and several other obesity-related genes are associated with resistance to weight loss for obese individuals on energy restricted diets, potentially playing a role in the development of obesity related complications.
This study will evaluate the lipid-modifying effect and tolerability of MK1903 when compared to placebo in patients with dyslipidemia who are not on a statin or other lipid-modifying therapy.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of eggplant extract capsules on the lipid profile of healthy individuals after an oral lipid overload test in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
The objective of the study is to determine whether short text massages could be used successfully as a compliance aid and improve clinical outcomes in long term lipid lowering therapy.
Objectives: to investigate for the potential effect of fenofibrate on symptoms and biological changes associated with sleep apnea syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to investigate an oral formulation of RVX000222 for safety, pharmacokinetic and efficacy in healthy subjects.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of JTT-302 on the increase of High Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (HDL-C) levels when administered daily for four weeks in subjects with low HDL-C levels.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of JTT-302 when administered for eight or 12 weeks in subjects with low HDL-C levels and to determine the effect of JTT-302 on lipid parameters and CETP activity and mass.
The investigators hypothesize that having health care providers other than physicians within a "Groupe de Médecine de Famille" conduct cardiovascular risk assessments and teach lifestyle interventions to primary prevention patients will increase the likelihood that patients will adopt and maintain healthy lifestyles. These objectives will be supported by providing subjects with a cardiovascular risk profile estimating the subject's risk of cardiovascular disease and teaching them how to use the resources related to lifestyle changes available on the www.myhealthcheckup.com Web site.
The investigators propose to investigate if using a combination of medications that may improve cholesterol give additional benefit to that gained from the statin medication, Lipitor. It is recommended that patients who meet certain criteria for risk of heart disease take a statin medication to improve cholesterol and hopefully reduce risk of heart disease. The combination therapy will include Lipitor, Niaspan, and investigational medication (known as ABT335) in a class of drugs called fibrates. We are looking to see if and how these three medications together might improve risk factors for atherosclerosis and influence HDL cholesterol. The study will also look at the safety and any side effects that might be associated with this combination of medications.
