Active clinical trials for "Hypercholesterolemia"

Primary Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of ascending single SC doses of alirocumab in Chinese healthy subjects. Secondary Objectives: To assess the pharmacokinetic profile of a single SC dose of alirocumab. To assess the pharmacodynamic effect of a single SC dose of alirocumab on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and other lipid parameters. To assess the immunogenicity of a single SC dose of alirocumab.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate Pharmacokinetic Properties and Safety after administration of HCP1306 tablet and Co-administration of HGP0816 tablet, HGP1404 tablet in the healthy adults.

To assess the longer term safety, tolerability, and LDL C lowering efficacy after 52 weeks of additional treatment with LIB003 with subcutaneous (SC) dosing every 4 weeks (Q4W)

The broad, long-term aims of this scope of work are to investigate the effects of the Pritikin Program to the general population. The study will test the effects on individuals from the community with dysfunctional lipids, blood pressure and glycemic control. To assess the effectiveness of the Pritikin Program in the community, the effects of Pritikin lifestyle intervention on overall health will be investigated.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetcs and pharmacodynamics of single- and multiple doses of ARO-ANG3 in healthy adult volunteers and in dyslipidemic patients including familial hypercholesterolemia and severe hypertriglyceridemia.

IBI306 is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds proprotein convertase substilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK-9), preventing its interaction with the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol receptor (LDL-R) and thereby restoring LDL-R recycling and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) uptake. This study is being done to investigate the effects of IBI306 in Chinese people with non-familial hypercholesterolemia with very high or high cardiovascular risk. This study will see if IBI306 will reduce low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in Chinese people who are taking a certain type of lipid-lowering medication (statins with or without ezetimibe) and whether it causes any side effects

Child-parent screening for familial hypercholesterolemia has been proposed to identify children and their parent who are carrier of mutations and with high risk for inherited premature coronary artery disease. The investigators assessed the efficacy and feasibility of such screening in primary care practice. key scitific questions: The 95th and 99th percentile of finger blood TC in children of 2 years old. Mutations that contribute to high TC status ( serum TC >99th percentiles) compared with international FH48 panel for FH genetc screening.

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AK102 in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH).The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of AK102 in patients with HeFH.

A study to evaluate safety and efficacy of IBI306 in subjects with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most common inherited metabolic disorder resulting in marked elevations in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). If left untreated, lifelong exposure to elevated LDL-C leads to a substantially increased risk of premature cardiovascular disease as compared to the general population. Although FH adverse cardiovascular outcomes are potentially preventable through early identification of FH individuals and initiation of effective treatment, available evidence shows that FH is under-diagnosed and under-treated. Childhood is the optimal period for FH screening, because due to minimal dietary and hormonal influences, LDL-C levels reflect predominantly the genetic component in children and are well suited to discriminate FH from other causes of elevated LDL-C. If FH remains untreated in this latent stage of the disease, individuals show a 10-fold increase of cardiovascular risk during early and middle adulthood. In this context, an effective approach for detecting FH would be a screening during childhood or in young adolescents in combination with reverse cascade screening of first-degree relatives of FH individuals. EPIRUS-FH registry is a model program of reverse cascade screening for FH in children and adolescents in Northwest Greece that aims to increase public and physician awareness, strengthen the national registry of familial hypercholesterolemia (HELLAS-FH) and constitute the core for a national FH registry in children and adolescents in Greece.
