Active clinical trials for "Hypercholesterolemia"

This study will assess what, if any, effect that ISIS 301012 (mipomersen) has on liver triglyceride content in multiple groups of subjects with varying degrees of risk for hepatic steatosis. In order to enroll subject groups with varying degrees of risk, the study has included multiple cohorts (Cohorts A-G).

The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. Cholesterol levels will be measured over six weeks in subjects being treated with two different kinds of cholesterol medications to see how the different treatments compare to one another.

In the context of australian general practice, to determine the efficacy and safety of ezetimibe 10mg/statin 40mg coadministration in patients with uncontrolled cholesterol receiving statin 40mg or more.

This is a pilot study. The aim of the investigators' study is to evaluate the effectiveness of nigella sativa seed in the treatment of dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia is a common risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the leading cause for morbidity and mortality among patients. Nigella sativa is an easily available and acceptable remedy to treat dyslipidemia and at a low cost. It is expected that by scientifically determining the effectiveness of this intervention it will lead to its widespread use. This will provide a low cost alternative to treat dyslipidemia.

In patients with primary hypercholesterolemia treated with a statin and with ldl-c above the recommended target goal (esc 2003 recommendations ldl>=1.15 g/l) to compare the efficacy and the safety of ezetrol added to ongoing statin and non drug therapeutic intervention (patient motivation on diet or physical activities or both).

To collect lipid-lowering response data with the use of simvastatin 40 mg tablet in patients with hypercholesterolemia.
