Filter by:This study is a single arm, open, single dose escalation trial aimed at evaluating the safety and tolerability of YOLT-101 administration in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia; Determination of YOLT-101 OBD; Preliminary evaluation of the effects of single administration of YOLT-101 on plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels. Note: OBD is defined as the dosage at which plasma PCSK9 protein levels decrease between 60% and 95% from baseline on the 28th day after YOLT-101 administration. OBD ≤ Maximum Tolerable Dose (MTD).
This study is a single arm, open, single dose escalation trial aimed at evaluating the safety and tolerability of YOLT-101 administration in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia; Determination of YOLT-101 OBD; Preliminary evaluation of the effects of single administration of YOLT-101 on plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels. Note: OBD is defined as the dosage at which plasma PCSK9 protein levels decrease between 60% and 95% from baseline on the 28th day after YOLT-101 administration. OBD ≤ Maximum Tolerable Dose (MTD). In this study, the longest screening period for the main study was 42 days, the treatment day was Day 1 (D1), and the safe follow-up period was up to 52 weeks after medication. In the main study, when OBD occurs, additional subjects will be added to the dose group (specific number of cases will be negotiated between the cooperating organization and investigators) for further validation. In addition, subjects in the first dose group can voluntarily receive a second drug administration of OBD level. After the completion of the main study, participants will undergo long-term follow-up. According to the Technical Guidelines for Long term Follow up Clinical Research of Gene Therapy Products (Trial) released by CDE, a long-term follow-up until 15 years after the medicine administration is required .
Hypercholesterolemia is recognized as the major driver for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. To help address this in our community, Atlantic Medical Group (AMG) formed a lipid workgroup chaired by Robert D. Fishberg, MD, and Jeffrey N. Feldman, MD. The overarching goal of the lipid workgroup is to enhance the treatment of lipid disorders in those patients with abnormal lipid levels by improving access to resources at the primary care practice level and specialty level. We aim to develop a model for primary and secondary prevention that integrates guidelines for treatment at the practice level. Our primary objective is to identify high-risk patients by utilizing the electronic health record and partnering with patients' primary care providers to provide comprehensive medical management.
The investigators will conduct a fully controlled dietary randomized crossover trial (RCT) including 10 adults with HeFH using lipid-lowering medication to investigate the impact of a diet low in red and processed meats and high in plant foods, reflecting Canada's Food Guide, in place of a standard North-American diet on LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and the plasma metabolome.
LIPIGEN is an observational study involving Italian physicians and researchers in the field of diseases related to blood lipid levels. This study aims to improve the diagnosis and treatment of people with familial dyslipidaemias, including very common conditions such as familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) and less common ones such as familial chylomicronidaemic syndrome (FCS). What does the study do? It collects information on Italian patients with Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH), following them in their normal clinical examination without adding extra procedures. It uses the data collected to further our understanding of diseases such as familial hypercholesterolaemia, examining how it is diagnosed clinically and by genetic testing, and evaluating the effectiveness of different treatments. It seeks to identify the genetic mutations that cause familial hypercholesterolaemia and other dyslipidaemias, helping to choose the most effective treatments. It evaluates the impact of long-term treatments and patient adherence to medication, as well as monitoring the incidence of cardiovascular events and other important outcomes. Who can participate? The study is aimed at people of all ages, from children to adults, with familial hypercholesterolaemia or other genetic dyslipidaemia. More than 50 centres throughout Italy are involved, making the study accessible to many. What does participation entail? Participants will continue with their normal clinical practice. Data such as family history, personal clinical findings and genetic information will be collected, without additional procedures. For some, further evaluations, such as ultrasounds, may be required to better study their condition. The LIPIGEN study not only helps to better understand diseases related to high cholesterol but also aims to improve patients' lives through more precise diagnosis and personalised treatments.
The main objective of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of the adapted Brazilian Cardioprotective Diet (DICA Br) supplemented or not with phytosterols and/or krill oil in patients with a probable or definitive diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) according to the the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (Dutch MEDPED) criteria. In addition, the following will be considered secondary objectives: to perform participants´ whole genome sequencing (WGS); to evaluate the effects of the interventions on lipid profile biomarkers; to evaluate the frequency of mild, moderate and severe adverse events according to study groups; to identify the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis; to perform pharmacogenomic analysis; and to evaluate adherence rates according to study groups. In this study, 300 individuals will be randomly enrolled into four groups: 1) DICA Br adapted to the FH context (DICA-FH) + phytosterol placebo + krill oil placebo (control group); 2) DICA-FH + 2g/day of phytosterol + krill oil placebo; 3) DICA-FH + phytosterol placebo + 2g/day of krill oil; and 4) DICA-FH + 2g/day of phytosterol + 2g/day of krill oil. Primary outcomes will be LDL-cholesterol for groups phytosterol vs. placebo and lipoprotein(a) for groups krill oil vs. placebo after 120 days of follow up.
This is an early phase 1, open-label, single-center, dose-escalation pilot trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an intravenous infusion of NGGT006 in patients with refractory Hypercholesterolemia diagnosed by gene testing for familial hypercholesterolemia. NGGT006 uses adeno-associated virus (AAV) as a vector, carrying a liver specific promoter and codon optimized human LDLR gene, driving the expression of LDLR protein with normal function and promoting the clearance of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
The study is a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 study in participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and/or atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or multiple ASCVD risk factors to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of obicetrapib 10mg and ezetimibe 10mg fixed dose combination as an adjunct to diet and maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapy.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of MK-0616 in adult participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. The primary hypothesis is that MK-0616 is superior to placebo on mean percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) at Week 24.
