Active clinical trials for "Dyslipidemias"

This study is to demonstrate therapeutic comparability of Fluvastatin sodium Extended Release Tablets 80 mg QD and Fluvastatin sodium Immediate Release Capsules 40 mg BID in LDL-C lowering from baseline to week 12 (endpoint) in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia at moderate or high CV risk who did not achieve their lipid goals when treated with Fluvastatin sodium Immediate Release Capsules 40 mg QD.

The purpose of this research is to study whether a multidisciplinary education in Diabetes and intervention for cardiac risk reduction in a group setting to modify patient behavior and adjust medications can achieve diabetes guideline goals for glycemia, blood pressure and lipid control.

To demonstrate in patients with T2DM and dyslipidemia not appropriately controlled with a statin and receiving metformin, the superiority of a fixed combination of fenofibrate and metformin vs metformin alone on TG and additionally, if the superiority on TG is established, to demonstrate the superiority on HDL-C

This study is designed to characterize the pharmacokinetics of multi-dose RVX000222 and atorvastatin and rosuvastatin when either statin is administered in combination with RVX000222 in subjects with dyslipidemia.

Statins are cholesterol-lowering medications that are often prescribed for patients with high cholesterol and who are at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). But there are many patients whose hyperlipemia are not well controlled. If investigators are simply doubling the statins, that only 6% of the benefit can be received. And it often has significant side effects in elder patients. Several studies have suggested that the use of berberine can effectively lower blood lipids. The chemical structure and mechanisms of drug is clearly, and the side effects are seldom, the price of berberine is very cheap. The purpose of this study is to observe the therapeutic effects of combination of statins and berberine on the patients with hyperlipemia whose level of the lipid are not well controlled when only using statins.

Patients with premature ischemic heart disease (PIHD) and elevated levels of HDL-C present an altered composition of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) which is associated with a loss of their anti-atherogenic effects and of their arterial endothelium function. Objectives: To analyse if the treatment with nicotinic acid (NA)/Laropiprant can correct the alterations of the HDL composition and endothelial function in patients with PIHD and elevated HDL-C. Methods: A total of 46 subjects with PIHD who are stable in the 3 months prior to the Study, who continue in treatment with statins and have elevated concentrations of HDL-C (HDL-C ≥2.0mmol/L in females and ≥1.8mmol/L in males) and an LDL-C <100mg/dL. This is a double-blind, randomised Study; after 6 weeks of lifestyle stabilisation, the subjects will be treated with NA or placebo for 16 weeks. At the start and end of treatment, HDL composition will be studied through density gradient preparative ultracentrifuge separation and FBLC (fast protein liquid chromatography) and through the changes in vasodilation induced by the endothelium through ultrasound. Primary endpoint: change in the apoA1 content associated to treatment. Secondary endpoints: variations in the change of the brachial artery diameter with reactive hyperaemia and changes in the content of other lipid and protein components of HDL including apoA2, paraoxonase, amyloid A and LCAT. The changes in HDL composition and endothelial function will be assessed with an analysis of variance with repeated measurements and a 2x2 design.

This research will act as a pilot study that will be conducted to determine the effectiveness of a smartphone medication adherence application on adherence to oral hypertensive, diabetic, and dyslipidemic medications using a prospective randomized design. Subjects will be recruited from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Internal Medicine Clinic North, and the study data will be collected using only subject self-reports and subject pharmacy records.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of NK-104-CR with Placebo and Livalo® on the reduction of LDL-C and to evaluate the safety of NK-104-CR in patients with primary hyperlipidemia or mixed dyslipidemia

Noninferiority trial to assess efficacy of fixed-dose combination of valsartan + rosuvastatin versus their isolated components in treatment of hypertension and dyslipidemia.

This study is a Phase 3, double blind, placebo controlled, randomized, stratified, parallel group, multi-center clinical trial designed to compare the efficacy and safety of bococizumab 150 mg SC Q2wks to placebo for LDL-C lowering in subjects with primary hyperlipidemia or mixed dyslipidemia at high or very high risk for CV events. The study will enroll a total of approximately 750 subjects from 4 - 5 Asian countries/areas (including China mainland); of which approximately 600 subjects will be from sites in China. Subjects will be randomized into a bococizumab treatment arm and a placebo arm in a 1:1 ratio.
