Filter by:The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. To look at ultrasound images taken in the carotid arteries and to look at various lipids in the blood of people with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia
The proportion of patients achieving LDL-C target as defined by Swiss cholesterol recommendations (AGLA-recommendations) across starting doses of 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg of atorvastatin.
The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of torcetrapib/atorvastatin compared to atorvastatin alone in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia
The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. To look at ultrasound images taken in the blood vessels of the heart and to look at various lipids in the blood of people with known coronary heart disease
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a multifactor cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk reduction program using team case management in high risk patients who have low family incomes and limited access to medical care. Patients were randomized to case management (99) or usual care (49) with baseline, 6-month and 12-month evaluations of CVD risk factors, clinical status and quality of life.
The objective of this study is to determine whether a tailored web-based system for providing feedback on walking step-counts, in combination with regular nutrition counseling, can improve weight loss over nutrition counseling alone in patients with heart disease.
In HIV hypercholesterolemic patients treated with protease inhibitors, some drugs of the statin group are used to control cholesterol level. New and potentially more efficient statins may interfere with protease inhibitors and hence loose a part of their activity. They have thus to be compared with a more established drug of the same class (e.g. pravastatin). The protocol compares the efficacy and safety of rosuvastatin and pravastatin.
The purpose of this study is to determine to what degree Hypocol® (Red Yeast Rice) may lower low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol in a European population. The effect of Red Yeast Rice on fasting blood glucose and inflammatory markers will also be investigated.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the anti-HIV drug tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) on lipid levels in HIV infected adults on stable anti-HIV drug therapy. Study hypothesis: The addition of TDF to stable background antiretroviral therapy in HIV infected individuals with dyslipidemia will result in a reduction of non-HDL after 12 weeks of treatment.
This study is designed to address the hypothesis that in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), a low carbohydrate diet not specifically restricted in calories compared to low fat, caloric restricted diet over 24 months will cause 5% greater reduction in body weight in patients with obesity and type 2 DM, be safe, and will not have any detrimental effects on serum lipid concentrations.
