Active clinical trials for "Dyslipidemias"

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of repeated doses of PF-04950615 (RN316) in study volunteers with hypercholesterolemia. PF-04950615 is an investigational drug that is currently being studied as a lipid lowering agent.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single dose of PF-04950615 (RN316) in volunteers on stable doses of atorvastatin. PF-04950615 (RN316) is an investigational drug that is currently being studies as a cholesterol lowering therapy.

Atherogenic dyslipidemia includes patients who have coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD risk equivalents, whose TG level is not adequately controlled after statin monotherapy. According to the published ESC/EAS consensus, fibrate is suggested to be added to this type of patient who has insufficient improvement. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy on lipid control and the safety of adding fenofibrate in patients on a background of statin treatment.

Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for morbid obesity. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a bariatric procedure with known safety and effectiveness. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a newer procedure gaining popularity. The aim of the study is to compare outcomes of these two surgical methods in terms of weight loss, improvement of common comorbidities of obesity and influence on metabolic and hormonal status.

A study in healthy males and females to see if a high single dose of TA-8995 has an effect on the ECG QTcF interval.

This study will evaluate the Area Under the Curve (AUC(0 to infinity)) of anacetrapib.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of pitavastatin and atorvastatin on adiponectin percentage change in patients with hypercholesteremia comorbid stable CAD.

This study will evaluate the lipid-modifying effect and tolerability of MK1903 when compared to placebo in patients with dyslipidemia who are not on a statin or other lipid-modifying therapy.

The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric characteristics (reliability, validity, and responsiveness) of a Flushing ASsessment Tool (FAST) in subjects receiving niacin extended-release (NER) plus aspirin (ASA) daily for 6 weeks. The FAST is a questionnaire that was developed to provide a detailed assessment of flushing symptoms and their impact in patients receiving niacin therapy. The effect of aspirin on flushing symptoms, as measured by the FAST, was also evaluated.

Fibrates reduce atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease events. A major mechanism of this benefit appears to be their ability to raise plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), especially in patients with high triglyceride levels. This study will investigate the effects of the addition of Trilipix (fenofibric acid) versus placebo to ongoing statin treatment on high density lipoprotein (HDL) composition and arterial function in subjects with insulin resistance.
