Filter by:The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the long term safety of PRALUENT in participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) or non-familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) participants at high or very high cardiovascular risk who completed the neurocognitive function study R727-CL-1532 (NCT02957682). The secondary objectives of the study were: - To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) - To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on other lipid parameters - To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on gonadal steroid hormones
The primary goal is to assess the impact of Evolocumab therapy on platelet function of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients in a randomized, double blind study. Evolocumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets circulating PCSK9, increases hepatic LDL receptor, decreases plasma LDL cholesterol and reduces risk of cardiovascular events. Evolocumab (brand name Rapatha) has been approved by FDA along with diet and maximally tolerated statin therapy in adults with FH or atherosclerotic heart or blood vessel problems, who need additional lowering of LDL cholesterol. The secondary goal is to determine if platelet activation or the response to Evolocumab therapy is modified by rs3184504 polymorphism. The investigators believe that these investigations will complement ongoing studies to demonstrate that Evolocumab reduces athero-thrombotic risk and aid the decision-making as to whether Evolocumab can reduce the atherothrombotic risk in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.
This first-in-human study is intended to evaluate the safety and preliminary effectiveness of AAV (Adeno-associated virus)-based liver-directed gene therapy in the treatment of adults with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).
The Family Hypercholesterolemia remains poorly diagnosed disease with an outlet sometimes suboptimal care. However, the Family Hypercholesterolemia exposes patients concerned at increased cardiovascular risk. The frequency of familial hypercholesterolemia in cardiologic is little studied and remains unknown, and there is little data on the profile of patients, diagnostic methods and management. Main objectives: - Establish a monitoring patients with hypercholesterolemia Family cardiology in France - Characterize the Family hypercholesterolemia in cardiology, including assessing the frequency of the most severe forms, which are at higher cardiovascular risk.
This study will evaluate the safety and effect of anacetrapib on low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) when added to ongoing lipid-lowering therapy. The primary hypothesis is that treatment with anacetrapib 100 mg for 12 weeks will lower LDL-C to a greater extent than treatment with placebo.
The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics of laropiprant following administration of a single dose of 1 (Panel A) and 2 (Panel B) combination tablets of MK-0524A in adolescents with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
Eprotirome is a liver selective thyroid hormone that can reduce several independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease, while an euthyroid state is preserved in the extrahepatic tissue. The purpose of this Phase III study is to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of Eprotirome in Patients with heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolaemia who are on optimal standard of care.
This is a 105-week clinical study in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia on intensive Low Density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering therapy intended to assess the affects of MK0524A on carotid intima media thickening using ultrasound compared to patients taking placebo. There will be 12 scheduled clinic visits involving review of medical history, physical exam, vital signs, laboratory testing, ultrasound imaging, and electrocardiograms.
The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of lapaquistat acetate, once daily (QD), to lower cholesterol in subjects with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia undergoing lipid-lowering treatment.
The effects of pactimibe versus placebo on the progression of atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries will be assessed using standard ultrasound techniques.
