Filter by:The purpose of this study is to validate the use of the FH Foundation FIND FH® Algorithm as a clinical decision support tool. FIND FH (Flag/Identify/Network/Engage) is a national initiative that utilizes machine learning and data mining techniques to identify individuals whose profiles are consistent with FH patients. The algorithm will be tested in adults with at least one cardiovascular comorbidity. Study subjects will be asked to provide either a saliva, buccal or venous blood sample for DNA and biomarker analysis
A-HIT2, is also designed as a National FH registry. At least 1000 FH patients will be recruited from 30 outpatient clinics representing the 12 Nuts statistical Regions in Turkey proportional to the 2015 Turkey's Population distribution.[14] Both HeFH and HoFH patients are eligible for enrollment. Sites specialized on cardiology, internal medicine, and endocrinology were invited by the Turkish Society of Cardiology.
This clinical study was designed to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of long-term dosing of inclisiran and evolocumab given as subcutaneous injections in participants with high cardiovascular risk and elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
The purpose of this post-marketing survey is to obtain real-world information on the safety and effectiveness of evolocumab in Japan.
Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant somatic mutation commonly located on the LDL-receptor, APOB, and PCKS9 gene. The estimated prevalence of homozygous FH is estimated at 1 in a million, whereas the prevalence of heterozygous FH ranges from 1/500-1/200 (0.2-0.5%) of the general population. The majority of individuals suffering from FH remain undiagnosed and without treatment. Using preexisting clinical guidelines, this study scored patients within national cardiovascular disease (CVD) registries for FH with the aim of evaluating prevalence of FH among individuals suffering from premature cardiac events within the UK. Following scoring of the registry, this study also examined the relationship between cholesterol and survival after a premature event in order to understand the possible ramifications of untreated FH on patient survival.
This is a Pilot/ feasibility study for a population-based Screening in all children 2 to 6 years in Lower Saxony, Germany during the compulsory (U7 (from the age of 2) U7a, U8, U9) routine check-ups and any voluntary visits to the pediatricians office.
The study will assess the safety and tolerability of Ezetimibe 10 mg+ Rosuvastatin 2.5 mg and Ezetimibe 10 mg+ Rosuvastatin 5.0 mg for up to 52 weeks in Japanese participants with hypercholesterolemia uncontrolled with monotherapy of Ezetimibe 10 mg or Rosuvastatin up to 5 mg.
The aim of the study is to understand more about how different fatty acids modulate postprandial lipid metabolism and inflammatory response.
The purpose is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx (ISIS 703802) given to healthy volunteer subjects with elevated triglycerides and subjects with familial hypercholesterolemia.
The main purpose of this study is to describe the safety and tolerability of 80 weeks of subcutaneous (SC) evolocumab when added to standard of care in children 10 to 17 years of age with familial hypercholesterolemia.
