Filter by:While 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has been used as an early marker of drug efficacy in numerous clinical cardiovascular drug trials, as a glucose analog, its signal in the vasculature lacks inflammatory cell-specificity. Moreover, high background 18F-FDG signals from the myocardium often preclude coronary artery imaging, despite attempts to suppress myocardial tracer uptake by dietary manipulation. These limitations of 18F-FDG for measuring changes in vascular inflammation arising from drug intervention highlight important unmet needs, which might be overcome by using a somatostatin receptor subtype-2 (SST2) PET tracer.
To compare the safety, tolerability and LDL-C response after 24 Weeks of monthly (every 4 weeks [Q4W]) subcutaneous (SC) dosing of LIB003 300 mg with monthly (Q4W) SC dosing of 420 mg evolocumab (Repatha®) in patients with HoFH on stable diet and oral LDL-C-lowering drug therapy
A study to evaluate safety and efficacy of IBI306 in subjects with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
A cluster randomized study in the primary care setting to evaluate a computer-based clinical decision support system to aid in the identification and management of patients with FH. The primary outcome of the study is the number of patients diagnosed with FH at thirty months after study initiation.
Multi-centre, non-randomised, non-controlled quasi-experimental study with nested qualitative study and economic appraisal. Improving the identification of patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease in primary care, caused by conditions such as familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), is a well-recognised national priority to prevent morbidity and mortality by early effective intervention. This study will prospectively evaluate the clinical utility of the new primary care FH identification tool (FAMCAT) for identifying undiagnosed FH in routine primary care practice; and to assess its appropriateness, acceptability and cost-effectiveness. This study will answer the following research questions (RQ): 1. What is the detection rate for new genetically-confirmed FH cases using the FAMCAT algorithm? 2. Is the FAMCAT tool appropriate and acceptable to practitioners and patients? 3. How can the FAMCAT tool be optimised to improve identification of FH? 4. What is the potential cost-effectiveness of the FAMCAT tool compared with current practice to identify patients with FH? 5. Can the FAMCAT intervention be improved? 6. What definitive study design and outcome measures are needed to provide robust evidence on whether to introduce FAMCAT into primary care practice? RQ(1) & (3) will be answered by a quasi-experimental diagnostic accuracy study; RQ(2) & (5) answered by qualitative study; RQ (4) answered by economic appraisal and RQ(6) informed by all previous studies.
AK102 is being developed for the treatment of HoFH. The study will be conducted in 2 parts, part 1 is open label, single arm study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of PCSK9 inhibitor AK102, and part 2 is double blind, randomized, placebo controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PCSK9 inhibitor AK102. The treatment period will last 12 week.
Famulial hypercolerstremia as risk factor
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ezetimibe (SCH 058235/MK-0653) 10 mg dosed daily and co-administered with either atorvastatin or simvastatin for up to 24 months in participants with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Following completion of the 12-week, double-blind, efficacy and safety parent study (P01030/MK-0653-018; NCT03884452) participants will be offered entry into this open-label, 24-month extension study.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of ezetimibe (SCH 58235) co-administered with either atorvastatin or simvastatin in participants with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).
This study was a Phase III,A two-part (double-blind placebo-controlled/open-label) multicenter study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in subjects with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).
