Active clinical trials for "Hypercholesterolemia"

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, balanced-parallel-group, efficacy and safety trial of ezetimibe coadministered with atorvastatin in adult participants with primary hypercholesterolemia. The primary hypothesis is that the coadministration of ezetimibe 10 mg/day with atorvastatin (pooled across all doses: 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg) will result in a significantly greater reduction in direct low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) when compared with atorvastatin (pooled across all doses: 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg) alone and ezetimibe 10 mg alone.

The purpose of this study is to see if bempedoic acid (ETC-1002) is safe and well-tolerated in patients with high cardiovascular risk and elevated LDL cholesterol that is not adequately controlled by their current therapy.

Nutraceuticals have attracted interest as possible approach to be associated with lifestyle changes for lowering plasma cholesterol levels in patients with moderate hypercholesterolemia. Ruscica and colleagues showed that a 8-weeks treatment with a nutraceutical combination containing red yeast rice extract, berberine, policosanol, astaxanthin, coenzyme Q10, and folic acid was able to reduce significantly total cholesterol (-12.8%) and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (-21.1%) [11]. These nutraceutical compounds exert their lipid-lowering effect through different ways, like the inhibition of the hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A (CoA) enzyme, increasing the hepatic expression of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor and the LDL degradation via enhanced hepatic binding and internalization. In addition, they up regulate the numbers and function of circulating endothelial progenitor cells increasing nitric oxide (NO) production. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of CARDIOVIS COLESTEROLO 3 mg (containing red rice fermented with Monascus purpureus titrated with 3% monacolin K, hydrol mixture of olive fruit titrated with vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10 and polymethoxyflavones) in terms of cholesterol, endothelial and inflammatory parameters reduction.

A Study to Compare Rosuvastatin/Ezetimibe Combination and Monotherapy in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus and Hypercholesterolemia.

A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Phase III Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Combination Therapy of Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe and Rosuvastatin Monotherapy in Patients with Primary Hypercholesterolemia

The primary goal is to assess the impact of Evolocumab therapy on platelet function of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients in a randomized, double blind study. Evolocumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets circulating PCSK9, increases hepatic LDL receptor, decreases plasma LDL cholesterol and reduces risk of cardiovascular events. Evolocumab (brand name Rapatha) has been approved by FDA along with diet and maximally tolerated statin therapy in adults with FH or atherosclerotic heart or blood vessel problems, who need additional lowering of LDL cholesterol. The secondary goal is to determine if platelet activation or the response to Evolocumab therapy is modified by rs3184504 polymorphism. The investigators believe that these investigations will complement ongoing studies to demonstrate that Evolocumab reduces athero-thrombotic risk and aid the decision-making as to whether Evolocumab can reduce the atherothrombotic risk in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.

This is a Single Center, Randomized, Double-blind, Dose Escalation, Placebo Parallel Controlled PhaseⅠClinical study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics with A Single Subcutaneous Injection of SHR-1209 in Healthy Subjects. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of a range of subcutaneous SHR-1209 in healthy subjects. Secondary objectives are to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics(PD) profile of SHR-1209 in healthy subjects including assessment of immunogenicity.

Open-label study will titrate doses of intravenous atorvastatin and monitor respective LDL-C levels in hypercholesterolemic patients previously controlled on oral atorvastatin.

The clinical Investigation will be performed to compare the safety and effectiveness of the CE certified and established lipoprotein apheresis systems MONET vs. DALI and DIAMED vs. DALI for optimizing the individual therapy of patients with severe dyslipidemia using established and novel efficacy parameters.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of ezetimibe (SCH 58235) co-administered with either atorvastatin or simvastatin in participants with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).
