Active clinical trials for "Hypercholesterolemia"

Primary Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of ascending single doses of subcutaneously (SC) administered alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) in Japanese healthy male subjects. Secondary Objectives: To assess the pharmacodynamics effect of a single SC dose of alirocumab on serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and other lipids and apolipoproteins such as total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, Triglycerides, Apolipoprotein B, Apolipoprotein A1 and Lipoprotein(a). To assess the Pharmacokinetic profile of a single SC dose of alirocumab. To assess the immunogenicity of a single SC dose of alirocumab.

Objectives. To evaluate the absolute and relative Lp(a) lowering effect of 1g/20 mg and 2 g/40 mg day of Niacin/Laropiprant in subjects with normal Lp(a) (< 30 mg/dL), high Lp(a) (30-60 mg/dL) and very high Lp(a) (> 60 mg/dL). To evaluate the absolute and relative Lp(a) lowering effect of 1g/20 mg and 2 g/40 mg day of Niacin/Laropiprant depending on the number of kringle IV-2 repeated copies on the apo(a) gene. 2.1.1 Hypotheses. The Lp(a) lowering effect of niacin is dependent of the pre-treatment Lp(a) concentration, with higher absolute and relative reduction in Lp(a) in subjects with hyperlipoproteinemia(a). Lp(a) size, throughout modifying hepatic synthesis of apo(a), is a major factor related to the lowering effect variability of niacin in human.

The purpose of this study is to determine the non-inferiority between two different FDC (fixed-dose combination), measuring LDL-Cholesterol levels, in high risk patients with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia.

The principal objective of this study is to investigate the effects of a novel food supplement (Limicol) on LDL-cholesterol levels in healthy subjects with moderate hypercholesterolemia.

To evaluate the possible effects of atorvastatin on ambulatory blood pressure, urinary albumin excretion, insulin resistance and arterial stiffness in hypertensive patients, beyond those on lipid profile. Glycemic parameters, "novel" cardiovascular risk factors and safety parameters will be also evaluated.

This trial is to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Rosuvastatin with Atorvastatin by assessing the change of LDL-C in patients with hypercholesterolemia and history of coronary heart disease (CHD) or risk equivalent, or a 10 year CHD risk of no less than 10%, following 6-week treatment and a possible 6 week extension treatment.

The purpose of this study is to compare 6 weeks of treatment with rosuvastatin alone compared with 6 weeks of treatment of rosuvastatin combined with ezetimibe in achieving low density lipoprotein level goals.

Evaluate the safety of the long-term (1 year) coadministration of ezetimibe and atorvastatin in participants with hypercholesterolemia who have not reached low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol target with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of 6 weeks of treatment with Rosuvastatin with 6 weeks of treatment with Atorvastatin in South Asian subjects with hypercholesterolemia.

The purpose of this study is to obtain data of the coadministration of ezetimibe and rosuvastatin to support the concomitant use of these two drugs in patients requiring additional cholesterol-lowering management. Treatment is administered for 14 days.
