Filter by:The study will evaluate the use of extended release niacin/laropiprant (ERN/LRPT) combination tablets in a primary prevention population currently not taking or eligible for lipid-modifying therapy (LMT); the population will comprise participants with low to moderate risk for coronary heart disease (CHD), low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) at or below goal level, and normal or mildly elevated triglyceride (TG) levels.
This study is being done to find out if tablets containing extended release (ER) niacin, laropiprant, and simvastatin (ERN/LRPT/SIM) are as effective as tablets containing ER niacin and laropiprant taken with simvastatin tablets (ERN/LRPT + SIM) for lowering high cholesterol and high lipid levels in the blood. The primary hypothesis is that ERN/LRPT/SIM 2 g /20 mg is equivalent to ERN/LRPT 2 g coadministered with simvastatin 20 mg in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholestrol (LDL-C).
- Clinical studies with statins have shown that patients that suffered a cardiovascular event have a high residual risk. Residual risk decreases with the attaining of progressive lower LDL-C levels. - In patients treated with statins, HDL-C level is an independent inverse predictor of subsequent CV and coronary plaque progression, even when LDL-C levels are less than 70 mg/dL. - Therefore the purpose on this study is to assess the lipid efficacy on lipid profile and effects on HDL-C metabolism and function of the extended release niacin/laropiprant combination added to usual therapy in very high risk patients with cardiovascular disease and low HDL-C that did not achieve the optional very low LDL-C or non-HDL-C goals
This study is being done to find out if tablets containing extended release (ER) niacin, laropiprant, and simvastatin (ERN/LRPT/SIM) are as effective as tablets containing ER niacin and laropiprant taken with simvastatin tablets (ERN/LRPT + SIM) for lowering high cholesterol and high lipid levels in the blood. The primary hypothesis is that ERN/LRPT/SIM 2 g/40 mg is equivalent to ERN/LRPT 2 g co-administered with simvastatin 40 mg in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in participants with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia, and elevated low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) to assess the efficacy and safety of extended release (ER) niacin/laropiprant [ERN/LRPT (MK-0524A)] when added to the following ongoing lipid-modifying therapy (LMT): simvastatin, atorvastatin, rosuvastatin monotherapy, ezetimibe/simvastatin fixed dose combination (FDC), or any statin co-administered with ezetimibe. The study is based on the hypothesis that ERN/LRPT 2 g daily will be superior to placebo at lowering LDL-C at Week 12 of treatment.
This survey is being conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of niacin (+) laropiprant (TREDAPTIVE) in usual practice in Korea according to the new product re-examination regulations of the Korean Food and Drug Administration.
Laropiprant (LRP; Merck & Co., Inc, Whitehouse Station, NJ, USA) is a potent, once-daily, highly selective PGD2-receptor (DP1) antagonist. A combination tablet containing 1 g of extended-release niacin and 20 mg of laropiprant (ERN/LRPT) offers improved tolerability, supporting a simplified 1-2 g dosing paradigm and improved adherence. Statins and niacin improve endothelial function in cardiac patients, however, there is no data yet regarding the additive effects of raising HDL-C by ERN/LRPT and statins on endothelial function in cardiac patients. Thus the aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of 3 months' administration of ERN/LRPT compared to placebo added to statins on endothelial function, assessed by brachial artery vasoreactivity in stable cardiac patients.
The investigators will study the effects of the addition of Trilipix (fenofibric acid) versus placebo to ongoing statin treatment on high density lipoprotein (HDL) composition and arterial function.
Objectives: to investigate for the potential effect of fenofibrate on symptoms and biological changes associated with sleep apnea syndrome.
This is a clinical trial in patients with Metabolic Syndrome and Dyslipidemia to study the effects of MK0767 on triglycerides.
