Filter by:This Phase 3 study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of plozasiran injection (ARO-APOC3) in adult participants with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG). After providing informed consent eligible participants will be randomized to receive 4 doses (once every 3 months) of plozasiran or placebo and be evaluated for efficacy and safety.
This Phase 3 study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of plozasiran injection (ARO-APOC3) in adult participants with severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG). After providing informed consent eligible participants will be randomized to receive 4 doses (once every 3 months) of plozasiran or placebo, and be evaluated for efficacy and safety. After Month 12, eligible participants will be offered an opportunity to continue in an optional open-label extension under a separate protocol.

Mastiha Oil is a 100% natural product of the Mediterranean, extracted from the resin of Mastiha. Its composition is high in bioactive ingredients (such as terpenic acids and polyphenols) which have proven anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cardioprotective, chemoprotective and antimicrobial properties. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Mastiha oil in adults with Hypetriglyceridemia. 100 participants will be allocated to two groups, (50 in intervention group and 50 in control group). Mastiha oil will be provided in the form of soft gel capsules to the intervention group, whereas the control group will not consume the capsules. Both groups will receive standard nutritional counselling. The intervention will last 3 months. The effects of the intervention will be evaluated via clinical and laboratory markers.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of phytoestrogen from Pueraria Mirifica in improvement of serum lipid parameters. The primary question it aims to answer are: • phytoestrogen from Pueraria Mirifica can reduce serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL and increase HDL or not Participants will receive capsules which composed of dry weight 50 mg of Pueraria Mirifica twice a day for 2 months. Researchers will compare with diet control&life style modification to see if there is the improvement of serum lipid parameters
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties. Previous studies showed that the administration of vitamin C was associated with decreased triglyceride (TG) levels in ambulatory patients, especially in patients with type 2 diabetes. The decrease in TG level was more significant the younger the patient's age (less than 52.8 years), the longer the administration of vitamin C lasted (over 12 weeks) and the higher the daily dose was (over 1 gram per day) (2). However, we did not find any studies that examined the relationship between administration of vitamin C and lowering of TG level in critical patients in intensive care. High TG levels are often found in these patients, secondary to sepsis, administration of propofol by continuous infusion, administration of TPN, pancreatitis, liver failure and chronic dyslipidemia, diabetes and chronic renal failure. High TG levels in these patients may cause pancreatitis secondary to elevated TG, and we take several actions to lower TG levels in the unit when they exceed 500 mg per dL in order to avoid these complications. The actions taken include starting treatment with fibrates and/or statins, giving high-dose insulin, stopping the propofol drip and changing it to another hypnotic drug (usually midazolam), and giving fat-free TPN instead of fat-containing TPN. There are of course disadvantages to these interventions, such as drug interactions, longer clearance time and higher incidence of delirium when giving midazolam compared to propofol, hypoglycemia when giving a continuous insulin drip in high doses and giving a lower amount of calories to a patient who will receive TPN without lipids. There are many studies that examined the administration of vitamin C to patients in intensive care, especially patients with sepsis, with varied but inconclusive results. A recently published meta-analysis found a reduction in mortality among critical intensive care patients treated with intravenous vitamin C, especially in the subgroup of critically ill patients with a high risk of in-hospital mortality. The drug was found to be safe for use among patients in intensive care. In these patients in the various studies, vitamin C treatment was given intravenously in different doses, with most patients receiving a dose of 6 grams per day for 3-5 days. In light of a trend about five years ago that showed an improvement in survival among septic patients in intensive care who were treated with intravenous vitamin C as monotherapy, or in combination with steroids and/or intravenous thiamine, also in the intensive care unit at our institution (as well as in other hospitals) we started giving this treatment, at the recommended dose of 6 grams per day for 3-5 days. Over time, new studies did not find clear benefits for this treatment, so we gradually stopped giving it. However, if indeed vitamin C can contribute to a significant decrease in TG levels in patients in intensive care, there may be a point in administering it to a group of patients with high TG levels, in order to reduce complications associated with a high TG level and/or treatment to reduce it.
Investigation of the efficacy and safety of an Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) supplement versus a placebo supplement on plasma triglyceride levels as well as inflammatory, thrombotic, endothelial and platelet activation markers, in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2).
The STRIREG study is a retrospective longitudinal general population-based register study including all individuals who had had at least one plasma Tg measurement between 1st January 2000 and 31st December 2021 at Karolinska University Laboratory or Unilabs AB in Region Stockholm (population 2.41 million 2021). The exclusion criteria were a lack of a unique Swedish personal identification number (PIN). The index population consisted of 1,460,184 individuals between the age 0 and 107 years. The index population was extended to form the complete cohort (n=3,607,819) by associating the parents and the siblings (n=2,147,635) to the indexes by interlinkage of personal identification numbers via the Multi-Generation register (see below). The study baseline for the index population was defined as the date for participant's first Tg measurement.
Lifestyle changes including diet therapy and weight loss can improve hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) . Furthermore, increasing omega-3 fatty acids intake has therapeutic effects on HTG. Alpha-linolenic acid is the precursor of long-chain omega-3 fatty acid and it is abundant in sources such as chia seeds and flax seeds. Considering the high fiber and omega-3 content of chia seeds and the existing mechanisms for improving lipid profile through fiber and omega-3, animal studies have shown the positive role of chia seed consumption on lipid profile, glycemic and lipid factors, and inflammation. However, in human studies, conflicting results have been obtained and some studies have shown beneficial effects on blood lipid, glycemic, and inflammatory factors, but in some studies, no effect has been observed. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of chia seed consumption on lipids, glycemic and inflammatory factors in people with HTG.
This project will determine whether a diet culturally adapted to adults in Puerto Rico can effectively decrease cardiometabolic risk factors. This will help define a culturally-appropriate, feasible, and sustainable diet intervention aimed at reducing cardiovascular, type 2 diabetes, and obesity outcomes.
