Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if a new drug, DRL-17822, is safe and effective in elevating high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and reducing low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in people with abnormal cholesterol levels that may put them at risk for heart disease.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of subcutaneous evolocumab (AMG 145), compared with placebo, on percent change from baseline in LDL-C in adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH).
The primary objective of this study is to measure how LDL apheresis affects levels of inflammatory and cholesterol markers in human beings. The investigators will address this question by drawing pre- and post-LDL apheresis blood from patients who are undergoing this procedure. A secondary objective of this study is to learn how specific inflammatory markers behave in our blood in terms of time to rebound back to normal levels. The investigators will address this question by drawing post-LDL apheresis blood at predetermined time intervals.
In this survey, to collect the safety and efficacy information of Amlodipine /Atorvastatin (Caduet® Combination Tablets) in daily medical practice will be examined. In addition, the necessity of special Investigation and post-marketing clinical studies will be examined, while investigating unexpected adverse drug reactions during the survey period and understanding of the status of frequency of adverse drug reactions in daily medical practice.
This study is being carried out to see if the study medication, rosuvastatin, is effective in treating familial hypercholesterolaemia in children and adolescents, and to determine the long term (over 2 years) safety, tolerability and efficacy of the study medication in these patients. This study will also measure levels of drug in the blood and see how well it is tolerated. This is known as pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis. At baseline only a small number of patients will participate in a single dose PK phase over 24 hours. In order to see if this medication works, a control group of healthy siblings will help the researchers to compare certain results.
This survey is conducted for preparing application material for re-examination under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Laws and its Enforcement Regulation, its aim is to reconfirm the clinical usefulness of VYTORIN through collecting the safety and efficacy information according to the Re-examination Regulation for New Drugs.
This was a long term follow on study to assess the continued long term safety and efficacy of lomitapide in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
The objectives of this post-surveillance study are to continue to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the H.E.L.P. System. The safety and effectiveness will be assessed by evaluating the occurrence of death, cardiovascular events or interventions, angina, and serious unanticipated adverse effects. Laboratory assessments will be made to document low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction and any effects on other blood components. Quality of life assessments will also be made. The study will also assess the modifications to the H.E.L.P. System, including: - use of a single heparin adsorber, instead of two smaller adsorbers; - change in the supplier of the ultrafilter (from Secon to Toray); - reduction in the number of blood lines from eleven to nine; - change from a single-layer to a two-layer precipitate filter. The safety and efficacy of the device specific to these modifications will be evaluated by comparing the safety and efficacy data from the patient registry to the data from the initial clinical study on the device as originally designed.
The purpose of this study is to characterize three year descriptive growth and development (ie, height, weight, body mass index, Tanner Stage) and efficacy of cholesterol reduction in pediatric subjects with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia receiving atorvastatin treatment.
To evaluate pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety and tolerability of atorvastatin in children and adolescents with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia
