Active clinical trials for "Dyslipidemias"

This study will assess and compare the efficacy and safety of valsartan and the combination of valsartan and simvastatin in patients with high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

This study will investigate two registered drugs, one for the treatment of high blood pressure and one for the treatment of elevated cholesterol. High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common medical condition affecting millions of people worldwide. A wide variety of effective drug treatments is available to reduce blood pressure. Elevated cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) is a common medical condition affecting people worldwide. A wide variety of effective drug treatments is available to reduce cholesterol levels. Hypertension and hypercholesterolemia often occur together. They are both important risk factors for the development of heart and vessel diseases (e.g. heart attack or stroke). Current guidelines advise treatment of high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. This study will test the simultaneous use of a drug to reduce blood pressure and a drug to reduce elevated cholesterol. Both drugs are registered and are effective. The drug for treatment of high blood pressure is telmisartan Micardis). The drug for treatment of elevated cholesterol is simvastatin (Zocor). Since hypertension and hypercholesterolemia frequently occur together, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether both drugs can be used simultaneously. A low dose and a high dose of these drugs will be used. It will be investigated whether each of the drugs is still as effective when given together, at the same time of day, with the other drug.

The purpose of this study is to determine if magnesium can improve blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar control in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the benefits of combination niacin ER/lovastatin in patients receiving standard care who are not at LDL goal per ATP III guidelines.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate different diets and the effects of blood measures or inflammation and endothelial function in association with genetics tending to abnormal blood test levels.

A multi-center, randomized, double-blinded equivalence clinical trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of LipiLou 20 mg versus Lipitor 20 mg in hypercholesterolemic patients with higher risk cardiovascular disease in Korea.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of eggplant extract capsules on the lipid profile of healthy individuals after an oral lipid overload test in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

This study will evaluate whether chronic dosing with Niaspan™ increases reverse cholesterol transport, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, and fecal excretion of cholesterol.

This is a randomized, double-blind, dose-ranging, placebo-controlled trial to determine the lipid-lowering efficacy and safety of BMS-298585 (muraglitazar) alone in combination with pravastatin in subjects with mixed dyslipidemia.

Slo-Niacin and atorvastatin (Lipitor) are both drugs that lower cholesterol. In this research, we will compare the effectiveness of Slo-Niacin and atorvastatin taken alone and together. This study will help show how the individual benefits of the two drugs taken separately can be combined when taken together.
