Active clinical trials for "Hypercholesterolemia"

The objective of this study is to assess if the implementation of a treatment algorithm including initial treatment with a low dose diuretic/ACE-inhibitor or ARB combination and subsequently a low dose DHP-CCB/statin combination will improve the management of hypertension/hypercholesterolemia compared to guidelines-base management at family practices.

This is a 16-week double-blind, placebo-controlled (for colesevelam hydrochloride (HCl)) study in the type 2 diabetic subjects and pre-diabetic subjects. Diabetic participants will also be treated with open label, background,metformin HCl. Two-hundred sixty subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and 200 pre-diabetic subjects are planned to be be enrolled. Qualified subjects with T2DM will be randomized 1:1 to receive metformin HCl plus colesevelam HCl or metformin HCl plus placebo matching colesevelam HCl. Qualified pre-diabetic subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive colesevelam HCl or matching placebo.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mipomersen (ISIS 301012) in subjects with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia on lipid-lowering therapy. This study consisted of a 26-week treatment period and a 24-week post-treatment follow-up period. Following treatment and Week 28 evaluations, participants could elect to enroll in an open-label extension study (301012-CS6; NCT00694109). Participants who were not eligible or elected not to enroll in the open-label extension study or who discontinued during the 28-week treatment period were followed in this study for 24 weeks from administration of the last dose of study drug.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double blind; active-controlled parallel groups study enrolling subjects with primary hypercholesterolemia. Subjects receive ezetimibe, simvastatin, or the combination once daily for 8 weeks to determine the effect on LDL-cholesterol.

Evaluate the safety of the long-term (1 year) coadministration of ezetimibe and simvastatin in patients with hypercholesterolemia who have not reached low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol target with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors.

This study will assess whether co-administration of ezetimibe 10 mg with simvastatin 20 mg will be more effective than treatment with simvastatin 20 mg alone in reducing LDL-C concentrations when administered for 6 weeks.

This study was designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic interaction and safety of coadministration of SCH 58235 (ezetimibe) and pitavastatin in healthy Japanese adult male subjects or adult male subjects having no obvious disease other than high cholesterol levels.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of rosuvastatin with simvastatin and atorvastatin in reducing levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol in subjects with hypercholesterolaemia

This is a single-center, randomized, open-label, 3-period, 3-treatment multiple-dose crossover study designed to assess the interaction between VYTORIN® (Ezetimibe and Simvastatin) and NIASPAN® (Niacin Extended-Release Tablets) in healthy subjects. Treatment spans 7 days

This study will test the safety, tolerability, and bioeffects (how the body reacts to the drug) of REGN727 compared with placebo (an inactive substance that contains no medicine) in hyperlipidemic patients with or without atorvastatin therapy. The study drug and placebo will be administered by subcutaneous injection at the clinic. There will be a total of 2 or 3 study drug injections over 16 clinic visits, which will include 3 overnight stays(study duration 148 days, not including the screening period). Patients on atorvastatin will take their daily dose in the morning for the duration of the study. Patients will be monitored by the study staff for side effects and the body's response to the study drug. Vital signs(blood pressure, temperature, breathing and heart rate) will be checked, and blood and urine samples will be collected at some or all visits.
