Active clinical trials for "Hypercholesterolemia"

This study is a multicenter, Randomized, double-blind, acitve-controlled, Phase 3 Clinical Trial in 8 weeks for screening, twice Investigational product administer, Follow up visit.

Background information Studies have been conducted on supplementing the daily diet with plant sterol ester-enriched milk derivatives in order to reduce LDL-cholesterol levels and, consequently, cardiovascular risk. However, clinical practice guidelines on hypercholesterolaemia state that there is not sufficient evidence to recommend their use in subjects with hypercholesterolaemia. The null hypothesis establishes that there is no relationship between the decrease in blood LDL-cholesterol levels and the consumption of stanol ester enriched liquid yoghurt. The alternative hypothesis establishes a relationship between such consumption and the incidence of the primary variable. The main objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of the intake of 2 g of plant sterol esters a day in lowering LDL-cholesterol levels in patients diagnosed with hypercholesterolaemia. The specific objectives are: 1) to quantify the efficacy of the daily intake of plant sterol esters in lowering LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol and cardiovascular risk in patients with hypercholesterolaemia; 2) to evaluate the occurrence of adverse effects of the daily intake of plant sterol esters; 3) to identify the factors that determine a greater reduction in lipid levels in subjects receiving plant sterol ester supplements. Study design Randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled experimental trial carried out at family doctors' surgeries at three health centres in the Health Area of Albacete (Spain). The study subjects will be adults diagnosed with "limit" or "defined" hypercholesterolaemia and who have LDL cholesterol levels of 130 mg/dl or over. A dairy product in the form of liquid yoghurt containing 2 g of plant sterol ester per container will be administered daily after the main meal, for a period of 24 months. The control group will receive a daily unit of yogurt not supplemented with plant sterol esters that has a similar appearance to the enriched yoghurt. The primary variable is the change in lipid profile at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. The secondary variables are: change in cardiovascular risk, adherence to the dairy product, adverse effects, adherence to dietary recommendations, frequency of food consumption, basic physical examination data, health problems, lipid-lowering medication, physical activity, smoking habits and socio-demographic variables.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), an inherited disorder of lipoprotein metabolism, is a risk for early cardiovascular disease (CVD). This autosomal dominant disease is characterized by markedly elevated plasma concentrations of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol (TC). The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of a diet low in saturated fats but enriched either with rapeseed oil (RO) or sunflower oil (SO) in children and adolescents with FH on serum lipoproteins.

Introduction: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 150 million people worldwide have type 2 diabetes. Common and cassia cinnamon have been reported to have anti-diabetic and lipid-lowering effects. Objective: To determine if the combination common and cassia cinnamon product Cinnamonforce™ (Cinnamomum verum and C. aromaticum) reduces fasting blood glucose, insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin (HA1C), triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Methodology: Seventy (70) type 2 diabetic participants will be randomized to receive either 140 mg of Cinnamonforce twice daily or placebo over 12 weeks. Physical and laboratory measurements will be taken at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and at the end of the trial, 13 weeks. Results: The differences in the measurements obtained from the group receiving Cinnamonforce and the placebo group will be analyzed and discussed.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the effects of rosuvastatin treatment and exercise training can be synergistic, with respect to the innate immune receptor TLR4, markers of systemic inflammation, and stimulated production of inflammatory cytokines, in hypercholesterolemic subjects. It is hypothesized that a rosuvastatin and exercise intervention will synergistically lower measured variables, so as to be anti-inflammatory.

The study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of SHR-1209 in subjects with familial hypercholesterolemia. 8 eligible patients (aged ≥18 years) with familial hypercholesterolemia, on stable maximum tolerable dose lipid-regulating therapy for at least 28 days, to receive subcutaneous SHR-1209, follow up 8 weeks. The primary endpoint was percentage change in LDL cholesterol from baseline at week 12 .

This study is designed for multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase III trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous injection of IBI306 in hypercholesterolemia patients.

Primary Objective: To estimate the overall combined rate of major structural birth defects in infants of mothers with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and/or familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) exposed to Praluent® (alirocumab) during pregnancy when used to treat hypercholesterolemia and to compare that rate to unexposed disease-matched and unexposed non-diseased comparison pregnancies. Secondary Objectives: Secondary objectives are to estimate the rates of the outcomes in pregnancies/infants of mothers with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or familial hypercholesterolemia exposed to alirocumab during pregnancy when used to treat hypercholesterolemia and to compare that rate to unexposed disease-matched and non-diseased comparison pregnancies, and secondarily to compare the rates of these outcomes in the unexposed disease-matched pregnancies to the rates in the unexposed non-diseased comparison pregnancies. Safety and tolerability of alirocumab.

To determine the efficacy of the HS-25 (10mg or 20mg) or in combination with Atorvastatin (10mg)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 (10mg or 20mg) or in combination with Atorvastatin (10mg)in subjects with LDL-C after a 40-week period of treament.

To evaluate efficacy and safety of a combination therapy of rosuvastatin and ezetimibe versus monotherapy of rosuvastatin in hypercholesterolemia patients
