Active clinical trials for "Dyslipidemias"

The purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of mipomersen (ISIS 301012) in the reduction of total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and apolipoprotein B (apoB) in high risk subjects intolerant to statins.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of rosuvastatin in reducing low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels to internationally recognised goals in subjects with dyslipidaemia.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of ezetimibe/simvastatin in patients newly diagnosed with dyslipidemia.

The investigators propose to investigate if using a combination of medications that may improve cholesterol give additional benefit to that gained from the statin medication, Lipitor. It is recommended that patients who meet certain criteria for risk of heart disease take a statin medication to improve cholesterol and hopefully reduce risk of heart disease. The combination therapy will include Lipitor, Niaspan, and investigational medication (known as ABT335) in a class of drugs called fibrates. We are looking to see if and how these three medications together might improve risk factors for atherosclerosis and influence HDL cholesterol. The study will also look at the safety and any side effects that might be associated with this combination of medications.

The RATCHET study assesses if patient knowledge of estimated cardiovascular risk at current and recommended target blood pressure levels improves compliance in the management of hypertension.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of ABT-335 plus rosuvastatin in dyslipidemic subjects with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage 3.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of pitavastatin with that of atorvastatin.

Berberine has showed effective in lowering blood sugar levels in db/db mice and anti-dyslipidemia in human. These findings have not been tested in a clinical trial. This randomized, double blind, placebo controlled and multi-center study has demonstrated that berberine is effective in lowering plasma glucose concentrations, reducing serum HbA1c and anti-dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetic patients with dyslipidemia.

This is a phase III multi-centre study in two periods: the first period is a phosphate binder and lipid lowering drugs washout for 8 weeks, the second period is a double-blind, randomised, parallel group, fixed dose, for 12 weeks.

Hypothesis: Cissus quadrangularis as well as Irvingia gabonensis are used in weight management and related conditions. This study set out to investigate if a combination of the two could have additional benefits to overweight and obese people.
