Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about the effects of chromium serum levels on glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, morbidity and mortality rates in critically ill intensive care patients. The investigators' goal is to provide a different perspective on solving the common problems of hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia encountered in intensive care patients, aiming to reduce morbidity and mortality rates. Participants will give a single blood sample (into trace element serum tube) on the day of admission to the intensive care unit, along with routine blood tests, and samples will be taken once a week during their stay in the intensive care unit.
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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fixed-Dose combination of Pitavastatin/Ezetimibe under the real-world condition
The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of elevated Lp(a) in the working general population.
This two-year observational study will be conducted at the outpatient clinic of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Taoyuan Chang Gung Hospital from February 26, 2024 to December 31, 2025. This study will enroll 35~55 year-old male patients who are expected to take LipoCol Forte Capsules for primary prevention of hypercholesterolemia. The investigators will collect the TCM constitution questionnaires from patients before taking LipoCol Forte Capsules and every three months after taking the medicine. At the same time, blood will be drawn to detect glycated hemoglobin, fasting blood sugar, insulin, lipids profile, liver and kidney function, creatine kinase, predictive parameters of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and plasma bile acids, etc. Fecal samples will also be collected to analyze the intestinal microbiota and fecal bile acid composition. This study will evaluate the efficacy, durability and safety of LipoCol Forte capsules in the primary prevention of hypercholesterolemia in patients with different constitutions, as well as whether it can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and its influence on bile acid metabolism and intestinal microbiota.
The Argentine Registry on Lipoprotein(a) (LP(a)), orchestrated by the Argentine Group for LP(a) Study, stands as a pioneering and extensive prospective initiative. This registry systematically collects geolocation data, including patient postal codes, demographic information, and a multifaceted array of health parameters to unravel the intricate associations surrounding LP(a) levels. The dataset encompasses diverse patient characteristics, ranging from standard metrics like blood pressure, weight, and race to broader factors such as diabetes, smoking habits, menopausal status, and hypothyroidism. This holistic approach enables a nuanced exploration of the interplay between LP(a) levels and various risk factors, providing invaluable insights for both clinical and public health considerations. One distinctive feature of this registry lies in its focus on medication history, shedding light on the impact of routine pharmaceutical interventions on LP(a) profiles. Additionally, it delves into the intricate web of inflammatory diseases, recognizing their potential role in LP(a) modulation. Genetic predispositions are meticulously examined, with a specific emphasis on identifying homozygous and heterozygous variants associated with hypercholesterolemia. This genetic dimension adds a layer of complexity to the understanding of LP(a) dynamics, contributing significantly to the ongoing discourse on cardiovascular risk. The prospective nature of this registry allows for dynamic analyses, fostering a continuous exploration of emerging patterns and trends. By amalgamating geographical, clinical, and genetic data, the Argentine LP(a) Registry emerges as a comprehensive platform poised to unlock novel facets of LP(a) biology and its implications for cardiovascular health. As the dataset matures, it holds the promise of guiding personalized interventions and refining risk stratification strategies, thereby advancing the landscape of preventive cardiovascular care.
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).
