Active clinical trials for "Hypercholesterolemia"

This study is a Phase II, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trial in 480 participants with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or ASCVD-risk equivalents (for example, diabetes and familial hypercholesterolemia) and elevated LDL-C despite maximum tolerated dose of LDL-C lowering therapies to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ALN-PCSSC injection(s).

This is a multicenter, randomized study in subjects with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia receiving highly effective statins to assess the safety, efficacy and tolerability of Bococizumab (PF-04950615; RN316) to lower LDL-C.

Primary Objective: To demonstrate the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by alirocumab as add-on therapy to stable daily statin therapy with or without other lipid modifying therapy in comparison with placebo after 24 weeks of treatment in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) or high cardiovascular risk participants with hypercholesterolemia. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the effect of alirocumab in comparison with placebo on LDL-C after 12 weeks of treatment. To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on other lipid parameters. To evaluate the long-term effect of alirocumab in comparison with placebo on LDL-C after 52 weeks of treatment. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab. To evaluate the development of anti-alirocumab antibodies. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of alirocumab.

The purpose of the study is to establish the efficacy, safety and tolerability of rosuvastatin in children and adolescents with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.

The purpose of the first part of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of a single dose of AEM-28, an apolipoprotein E mimetic, in subjects with high total cholesterol who are otherwise healthy subjects. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AEM-28 will also be evaluated. The second part of this study will be a multiple ascending dose evaluation of AEM-28 in patients with refractory hypercholesterolemia. AEM-28 has demonstrated significant lipid lowering activity and positive effects on the artery wall. AEM-28 is being developed for the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.

Primary Objective: To evaluate the effect of alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels compared with placebo when co-administered with 80 mg of atorvastatin after 8 weeks of treatment in participants with LDL-C ≥ 100mg/dL (≥ 2.59 mmol/L) on atorvastatin 10 mg. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the effects of alirocumab on other lipid levels in comparison with placebo, when co-administered with 80 mg of atorvastatin after 8 weeks of treatment. To evaluate the efficacy of alirocumab when co-administered with a high dose of atorvastatin (80 mg) versus atorvastatin 10 mg. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab when co-administered with 2 different doses of atorvastatin. To evaluate the development of anti-alirocumab antibodies. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of alirocumab.

This study will investigate the effect of PF-04950615, a new investigational lipid lowering agent, on LDL-C and other lipids.

The purpose of this study is to determine if Pitavastatin lowers CoQ10 less than Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin.

The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of subcutaneous evolocumab every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks, compared with placebo, on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) when used in addition to statin therapy in Japanese adults with hypercholesterolemia and high cardiovascular risk.

The purpose of this study is to compare how regularly eating (dried) beans or peas or rice (control) lowers blood lipids, particularly Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol and total cholesterol, in mildly hypercholesterolemic men and women. The investigators hypothesize that regularly eating beans or peas will significantly improve blood lipid profiles in these people. Participants in this study will consume 1 study food item 5 out of 7 days a week containing beans or peas or rice for a total of 6 weeks. This study will benefit Canadian pulse growers by enhancing development of food products for human consumption and supporting marketing strategies to increase awareness that a diet rich in pulses can improve human health. Measuring changes in blood and urinary polyphenol levels will help to verify whether these compounds play a role in the beneficial actions of beans and peas and subsequently assist with the identification of the beneficial bean/pea components. This in turn, will enable crop breeders to select for plants that are rich in these compounds.
