Active clinical trials for "Hypercholesterolemia"

The purpose of this 10-week study is to compare the reduction in cholesterol following treatment with two different marketed drugs, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a soluble gas, continuously synthesized by the endothelium, that contributes importantly to vasodilator tone of the coronary and systemic circulations by activating guanylyl cyclase in vascular smooth muscle, causing relaxation. Although regional synthesis of NO by the endothelium contributes to local vasodilator tone, Stamler and co-workers have proposed that regional vascular tone may also be regulated by NO transported from the lungs by hemoglobin as a consequence of enhanced binding of NO to reactive thiols of oxygenated hemoglobin. This study is designed to determine the contribution of hemoglobin-transported NO to forearm microvascular dilator tone in healthy subjects at rest and during regional hypoxia associated with forearm exercise stress, with measurements made before and after regional blockade of endothelial NO synthesis. Findings in this study may be relevant to understanding the physiological contribution and therapeutic potential of hemoglobin-transported NO in the regulation of vasodilator tone in diseases and conditions associated with regional endothelial dysfunction and reduced endothelial NO bioactivity (e.g., hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, cigarette smoking, and estrogen deficiency).

This study will evaluate whether low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) lowering with evolocumab (AMG 145) results in greater change from baseline in percent atheroma volume (PAV) at week 78 than placebo in adults with coronary artery disease taking lipid lowering therapy.

The primary outcome was percentage reduction of LDL-C after 6 weeks of randomization.

This study will evaluate the EZ/Ator fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet (MK-0653C) as second line Low-Density Lipoprotein - Cholesterol (LDL-C) treatment in Chinese participants. The primary hypothesis is that MK-0653C 10/10 mg is superior to atorvastatin 20 mg in percent change from baseline in LDL-C to 12 weeks after treatment.

In this study, four new tablet versions of two compounds will be investigated. The aim of this study is to investigate the amount of the active ingredient and helping agent in the blood after doses of four different tablet versions. The tablet versions, participants will receive, i.e. the treatment arm participants will be assigned to, is decided by chance. Participants will receive one treatment for 10 days in the first period. For the second period, directly following, participants will receive a different treatment for five more days. The study can last for up to approximately 10 weeks for each participant. This includes a screening period (up to 3 weeks), two treatment periods (together a total of 15 days) and a follow-up visit (5 weeks after the last dosing)

To compare the pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single subcutaneous (SC) doses of 300 mg LIB003 Process 1 (P1) and Process 2 (P2) drug product in subjects with or without statin therapy

In this study, the study drug 'NNC0385-0434' will be tested in 3 different tablet formulations. These formulations are being tested for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol). Participants will only receive 2 of the 3 tablet formulations. The treatments participants get are decided by chance. Participants will receive 1 formulation for 10 days (first treatment period) and the other formulation for 5 days (second treatment period). The study will last up to 96 days. Only men can participate in this clinical study.

The purpose of this actual use study is to simulate the over the counter use of atorvastatin calcium 10 mg.

The primary objective of this study was to assess users' ability to administer a full dose of evolocumab in a home-use setting using either an automated mini-doser (AMD) or autoinjector/pen (AI/pen).
