Active clinical trials for "Hypercholesterolemia"

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference in the effect of coronary plaque regression (as measured by intravascular ultrasound [IVUS] imaging) between cholesterol absorption inhibitor and cholesterol synthesis inhibitor.

The objective of this study was to investigate from 3 sites (University of Connecticut, University of Florida, and University of California, Irvine) whether enhancement of a modified Mediterranean-style, low glycemic load diet (MED) with specific phytochemicals (soy protein, phytosterols, rho iso-alpha acids and proanthocyanidins; PED) could improve cardiometabolic risk factors in women with metabolic syndrome.

The primary objective of the study is to assess the effects of MK0524A in reducing cholesterol levels in an Asian population.

A multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ezetimibe/simvastatin versus atorvastatin in elderly patients with high cholesterol at high or moderately high risk for coronary heart disease.

The primary purpose of this study is to test the effect and safety of three different doses of ABT-143 compared to simvastatin in subjects with elevated levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol ("bad cholesterol") and triglycerides.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of a Vytorin 10/80 tablet, an approved agent for the treatment of elevated LDL cholesterol which combines the cholesterol absorption inhibitor Ezetimibe 10 mg and simvastatin 80 mg, when split into 4 using a tablet splitter, versus a whole simvastatin 20 milligram tablet.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of Welchol in combination with TriCor compared to TriCor alone on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with high cholesterol.

HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) are commonly used to treat high cholesterol (HC) in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Several studies have shown benefits of statin among patients of type 2 DM, however, no such data is available for patients with type 1 DM. It is known from studies on cholesterol metabolism using surrogate markers that patients with type 1 DM have higher cholesterol absorption compared to normals and those with type 2 DM have higher cholesterol synthesis. Since statins inhibit synthesis, patients with type 1 DM may not have a good response and may respond better to cholesterol absorption inhibitors. The purpose of this study is to determine the cholesterol lowering effects of cholesterol absorption inhibitors and cholesterol synthesis inhibitors in subjects with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

A study to evaluate the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering efficacy of the addition of ezetimibe to rosuvastatin compared with doubling dose of rosuvastatin in participants treated with rosuvastatin alone and not at their National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) LDL-C goal

This study is being conducted to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/20 mg when administered daily versus doubling the dose of simvastatin to 40 mg in patients with hypercholesterolemia and coronary heart disease.
