Active clinical trials for "Hypercholesterolemia"

Our preliminary reports have found in silico and in vitro that the milk thistle derivative Silibinin(A) is able to inhibit pancreatic lipase, in a similar way that the classical anti-obesity drug orlistat. Therefore, the investigators want to carry out the present trial in order to confirm that Silibinin(A) is able to in vivo inhibit pancreatic lipase, which will reduce the fat absorption and therefore will decrease the amount of energy from food intake. Considering that milk thistle has been extensively studied in humans as liver-protector, the investigators consider that the use of human subjects will be of great interest to accelerate the employment of this compound to improve the effectiveness of dietary treatment in overweight/obese subjects.

The main objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the effects of the Brazilian Cardioprotective Diet (DICA Br) supplemented or not with phytosterols and/or krill oil in patients with a probable or definitive diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) identified by the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (Dutch MEDPED) criteria. In addition, the following will be considered secondary objectives: to perform participants´ complete sequencing of the exome; to evaluate the effects of the interventions on lipid profile; to identify subclasses of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol; to perform untargeted lipidomic analyses; to evaluate the frequency of mild, moderate and severe adverse events according to study groups; and to evaluate both implementation components and adherence rates to the protocol, aiming to design a larger randomized trial. In this pilot study, between 48 and 76 individuals will be randomly enrolled into four groups: 1) DICA Br adapted to FH (DICA-HF) + phytosterol placebo + krill oil placebo (control group); 2) DICA-HF + 2g/day of phytosterol + krill oil placebo; 3) DICA-HF + phytosterol placebo + 2g/day of krill oil; and 4) DICA-HF + 2g/day of phytosterol + 2g/day of krill oil. Primary outcomes will be LDL-cholesterol for groups phytosterol vs. placebo and lipoprotein(a) for groups krill oil vs. placebo after 120 days of follow up.

This is an open-label study designed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of evinacumab, a fully human ANGPTL3 antibody, in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), in a real-life setting in Canada. Eligible patients for this study are male and female adult patients with HoFH. Evinacumab will be added on top of the patient's background lipid-modifying therapy (LMT), including statins, ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitors, lomitapide or other lipid lowering therapies. This study will be conducted using an hybrid (on-site, foldable sites) approach. Patients will enter the current study, in an open-label treatment period, following their screening. This study will continue until reimbursement of evinacumab in Canada or for a maximum of 24 months. The end of study (EoS) visit will be scheduled 4 weeks after the last dose has been injected and will be followed by a 52-week follow-up.

This is a pivotal phase III study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in adolescents with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).

A multicenter study to evaluate safety and efficacy of inclisiran in Asian patients with ASCVD or ASCVD high risk and elevated LDL-C

This study is to assess LDL-C reductions at Week 52 with monthly (Q4W [≤31 days]) dosing of LIB003 (lerodalcibep) 300 mg administered subcutaneously (SC) compared to placebo in patients with CVD, or at high risk for CVD, on a stable diet and oral LDL-C lowering drug therapy

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of using red yeast rice, phytosterol esters and lycopene in combination for 12 weeks on improving the glycolipid metabolism of Guangzhou individuals with dyslipidemia. Our hypothesis is that when compared with placebo, red yeast rice, phytosterol esters and lycopene together as supplements would lead to greater improvements in lipid metabolism (including lipid profiles and parameters ) in participants after 12 weeks.

This first-in-human (FIH) study of VXX-401, an anti-PCSK9 peptide-based immunotherapeutic candidate, is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of VXX-401 and to determine an optimal dose regimen for LDL-C lowering in subsequent clinical trials.

To evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of SHR-1209 subcutaneous administration in patients with hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia after lipid-lowering therapy

This is a pivotal phase III study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in adolescents with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
