Active clinical trials for "Hyperlipoproteinemia Type II"

The Investigators will conduct a longitudinal, mixed-methods cohort study to assess primary and secondary psychosocial outcomes among 705 MyCode pediatric participants and their parents, and health behaviors of parents whose children receive an adult- or pediatric-onset genomic result. Data will be gathered via quantitative surveys using validated measures of distress, family functioning, quality of life, body image, perceived cancer/heart disease risk, genetic counseling satisfaction, genomics knowledge, and adjustment to genetic information; qualitative interviews with adolescents and parents; and electronic health records review of parents' cascade testing uptake and initiation of risk reduction behaviors. The investigators will also conduct empirical and theoretical legal research to examine the loss of chance doctrine and its applicability to genomic research.

This long-term observational study is designed to follow subjects who, during another Clinical Study, received gene therapy treatment used to treat their Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) disease. This study is intended to follow those subjects for up to 5 years since they received treatment to look for any long-term safety concerns. There is no investigational drug or therapy provided as part of this study.

The purpose of this study is to determine if implitapide, used in conjunction with other lipid-lowering therapies, is safe and effective when compared to placebo in lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).

The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of lapaquistat acetate, once daily (QD), to lower cholesterol in subjects with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia undergoing lipid-lowering treatment.

The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the long term safety of PRALUENT in participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) or non-familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) participants at high or very high cardiovascular risk who completed the neurocognitive function study R727-CL-1532 (NCT02957682). The secondary objectives of the study were: To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on other lipid parameters To evaluate the effect of PRALUENT on gonadal steroid hormones

This study will evaluate the safety and effect of anacetrapib on low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) when added to ongoing lipid-lowering therapy. The primary hypothesis is that treatment with anacetrapib 100 mg for 12 weeks will lower LDL-C to a greater extent than treatment with placebo.

The effects of pactimibe versus placebo on the progression of atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries will be assessed using standard ultrasound techniques.

Eprotirome is a liver selective thyroid hormone that can reduce several independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease, while an euthyroid state is preserved in the extrahepatic tissue. The purpose of this Phase III study is to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of Eprotirome in Patients with heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolaemia who are on optimal standard of care.

This first-in-human study is intended to evaluate the safety and preliminary effectiveness of AAV (Adeno-associated virus)-based liver-directed gene therapy in the treatment of adults with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).

Determination of FH status by genetic testing in school age children who have demonstrated elevated cholesterol on baseline screening.
