Active clinical trials for "Hypercholesterolemia"

The primary goal is to assess the impact of Evolocumab therapy on platelet function of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients in a randomized, double blind study. Evolocumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets circulating PCSK9, increases hepatic LDL receptor, decreases plasma LDL cholesterol and reduces risk of cardiovascular events. Evolocumab (brand name Rapatha) has been approved by FDA along with diet and maximally tolerated statin therapy in adults with FH or atherosclerotic heart or blood vessel problems, who need additional lowering of LDL cholesterol. The secondary goal is to determine if platelet activation or the response to Evolocumab therapy is modified by rs3184504 polymorphism. The investigators believe that these investigations will complement ongoing studies to demonstrate that Evolocumab reduces athero-thrombotic risk and aid the decision-making as to whether Evolocumab can reduce the atherothrombotic risk in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inheritable, autosomal dominant disorder leading to pathologically increased levels of low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Dietary treatment remains an important tool in the management of affected children even after the decision for the initiation of pharmacotherapy is made. However, little evidence is available on the beneficial effects of diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol and diets enriched with soy in children affected with FH. Based on these previous findings we hypothesize that the LDL-C lowering effect of a fat-modified diet could be further increased by the addition of soy-protein in children affected with HeFH.

This is a Single Center, Randomized, Double-blind, Dose Escalation, Placebo Parallel Controlled PhaseⅠClinical study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics with A Single Subcutaneous Injection of SHR-1209 in Healthy Subjects. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of a range of subcutaneous SHR-1209 in healthy subjects. Secondary objectives are to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics(PD) profile of SHR-1209 in healthy subjects including assessment of immunogenicity.

Open-label study will titrate doses of intravenous atorvastatin and monitor respective LDL-C levels in hypercholesterolemic patients previously controlled on oral atorvastatin.

The primary objective of the study is to assess pharmacokinetics, dynamics, safety and tolerability of CiVi007 following single and multiple subcutaneous doses in subjects, including those on statin therapy

To determine the efficacy of HS-25 (20mg) in reducing low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels after a 12-week period of treatment in adults with primary hypercholesterolemia; To determine the safety of HS-25 (20mg) in subjects with LDL-C

This is a Phase III, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized study in participants with HeFH and elevated LDL-C to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) injection(s) of inclisiran. The study will be multicenter and international.

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by evinacumab intravenously (IV) in comparison to placebo after 24 weeks in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the effect of evinacumab IV on other lipid parameters, evaluate the effect of evinacumab on LDL-C goal attainment, assess the effect of evinacumab on eligibility for apheresis (using German and US apheresis criteria), evaluate the safety and tolerability of evinacumab in patients with HoFH, assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of evinacumab in patients with HoFH and evaluate the potential development of anti-evinacumab antibodies.

To determine the efficacy of HS-25 (20mg) in reducing low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels after a 12-week period of treatment in combination with Atorvastatin in subjects with hypercholesterolemia and coronary heart diseases; To determine the safety of HS-25 (20mg) combination with Atorvastatin in subjects with hypercholesterolemia and coronary heart diseases

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, balanced-parallel-group, efficacy and safety trial of ezetimibe coadministered with atorvastatin in adult participants with primary hypercholesterolemia. The primary hypothesis is that the coadministration of ezetimibe 10 mg/day with atorvastatin (pooled across all doses: 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg) will result in a significantly greater reduction in direct low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) when compared with atorvastatin (pooled across all doses: 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg) alone and ezetimibe 10 mg alone.
