In the past decades, lipid and body fat disorders become a serious global healthcare issue, especially among the obese population. The aim of this study is to include 100 selected patients with BMI higher than 27 and hyperlipidemia, and a crossover design is used to explore the efficacy of "Xian-Hua-Cha (XHC)" on relieving hyperlipidemia among obese patient. For this purpose, the changes of patients' body weight, body fat and the metabolic parameter including blood sugar, cholesterol, triglyceride are analyzed in the end of this study.
This study was a single-center, non-randomized, parallel-group design clinical trial, and each group was assigned a 1:1 ratio with or without hyperlipidemia. Both groups underwent periodontal non-surgical treatment, and blood and gingival crevicular fluid were collected before surgery, 1 month and 3 months after surgery for the detection of MCP-1, IL-8, oxLDL, TNF-α, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C.
To study the efficacy and safety of pitavastatin and PCSK9 inhibitors in liver transplant patients on ongoing immunosuppressive therapy.
This study was 8 weeks randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess the effect of zinc in Atorvastatin treated hyperlipidemic 92 patients. Participants were assessed at baseline, and 8 weeks. Subjects were randomized to receive either atorvastatin+placebo in one arm or atorvastatin +zinc 30mg tablet in another arm daily for 8 weeks. The outcome was the measure of fasting lipid profile, sgpt, serum creatinine at baseline and after 8 weeks following the intervention.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase # clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of AK102 Q6W in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed hyperlipidemia.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical study evaluating the long-term efficacy and safety of AK102 in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed hyperlipidemia.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase Ⅲ clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of AK102 in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed hyperlipidemia.
To date, there are highly effective lipid-lowering drugs, the combination of which makes it possible to achieve the target level of LDL-C in most patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). However, the effectiveness of treatment of FH patients strongly depends on adherence to lipid-lowering therapy and to the healthy lifestyle, as well as the detection of the disease and the therapy prescription as early as possible, better in childhood. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of genetic testing and motivational counseling on the effectiveness of treatment and cascade screening in patients with FH.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality after renal transplantation, accounting for more than 30% of deaths. Elevated lipid levels (hyperlipidemia) are a frequent finding following transplantation and the immunosuppressive medications play a central role in the development or worsening of hyperlipidemia. In the general population, the correlation between elevated serum cholesterol and increased risk of cardiovascular disease is well established and the reduction in serum LDL cholesterol has proved to significantly reduce both morbidity and mortality. Statin based drugs are the standard of care in the management of hyperlipidemia. Commonly used statin-based drugs include atorvastatin (Lipitor), fluvastatin (Lescol, Lescol XL), lovastatin (Mevacor, Altoprev), pravastatin (Pravachol), rosuvastatin (Crestor), simvastatin (Zocor), and pitavastatin (Livalo). These drugs have been proven to lower lipid levels as well as cardiovascular risk. However, statin-based drugs also cause a variety of side effects. While the most commonly encountered side effects are toxicity to the liver and muscles, a few others have also been known to cause increased excretion of protein in the urine and kidney failure. These side effects are also more common in a renal transplant recipient due to the simultaneous administration of drugs that prevent rejection. Therefore, there is an emergent need for newer drugs which are both efficient and safe especially in this population PCSK-9 inhibitors (Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin Kinase-9 inhibitors) are a new class of drugs that are highly efficient in lowering lipid levels in the general population. However, an exclusive trial involving kidney transplant recipients is yet to be done. Through this study, we would like to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Evolocumab (trade name: Repatha) which is a PCSK-9 inhibitor developed by Amgen, Inc in renal transplant recipients. The study would involve a total of 120 patients across 3 different hospitals in Boston, Massachusetts.
