Filter by:The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of subcutaneous evolocumab (AMG 145), compared with ezetimibe, on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with hypercholesterolemia unable to tolerate an effective dose of a statin.
The aim of the study is to examine whether the extract of green tea is effective on type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bioequivalence of Lipidil® Supra (fenofibrate 160mg) versus SYO-0805 (fenofibrate 65mg) in single dose oral administration.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of imported Probucol in hyperlipidemia patients.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to study the comparative effect of a classical unani antiobesity drug safoof-e-muhazzil on hyperlipidemia in its classical powder form and in compressed tablet form against a standard control.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of XueZhiKang to improve plasma lipid profile, as compared to placebo, in outpatients with hyperlipidemia.
The study will test the hypothesis that supplementing the diet of subjects with Metabolic Syndrome with 2000 IU vitamin D and 1.8 g omega-3 fatty acids (EPA + DHA) per day, will facilitate weight loss, improve body composition and reduce metabolic and biochemical risk factors associated with type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Adult men and women who meet the International Diabetes Federation criteria for Metabolic Syndrome will be enrolled and embark on a 16 week diet and exercise intervention using a low glycemic index diet with or without the supplementary vitamin D and omega-3. Subjects will be counseled weekly and blood collected at weeks 0 and 16.
Children with high cholesterol levels are especially vulnerable and are at high risk for early onset coronary heart disease (CHD). Endothelial dysfunction, the earliest phase of CHD, is present in children with elevated cholesterol levels as early as 8 years of age. The long term objective of this study is to develop dietary interventions for the prevention and treatment of endothelial dysfunction in children with common lipid disorders including familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH). Increasing evidence suggests that the Mediterranean diet and ω-3 fatty acids found in fish have cardioprotective effects. The specific aims of the study are to: determine whether a Mediterranean diet alone or combined with ω-3 fatty acid (eicosapentaenoic acid)improves endothelial function; evaluate the effects of the dietary interventions on lipids and lipoprotein subclasses; evaluate the effects of the dietary interventions on biomarkers for oxidative stress and inflammation. This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial that includes 34 children (ages 8-17) treated with the Mediterranean diet and ω-3 fatty acid supplements. A dietary educational behavioral intervention will be conducted over 6 months with individual counseling and group sessions. Endothelial function will be measured noninvasively by high resolution ultrasound of the brachial artery at baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 weeks. This study is unique because it is a new intervention designed for children at high risk for early CHD with a dietary component and supplementation with ω-3 fatty acids. If effective, this intervention would be broadly applicable in the community and lend valuable insight about dietary therapy to prevent the progression of CHD in hyperlipidemic children.
The purpose of this study is to assess the incidence of statin-associated myalgia (SAM) with treatment with PPD10558 versus atorvastatin in patients previously intolerant to statins. To assess the safety and tolerability of PPD10558 compared to atorvastatin in patients previously intolerant to statins.
The investigator would like to see if aspirin could block niacin-induced flushing by analyzing blood and urine after taking aspirin. Phase I: Subjects were assigned to either placebo or aspirin groups. They were given 5 days of 81 mg aspirin or placebo. On day 5, they were given a single dose of niacin (600 mg) administered 30 minutes after the last dose of aspirin or placebo. The same subjects came back for cross-over study and were assigned to a different group. There was a 2-week washout period between each treatment. Urine was collected sequentially for analysis Phase II: The same study subjects come back for an open label one week study. They were given 5 days of taking 81 mg Aspirin, taken once daily, followed by a single dose of 600 mg Niacin on day 6. Urine was collected sequentially for analysis
