Active clinical trials for "Hypercholesterolemia"

To assess the changes in the trough Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and the percent changes in Low Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C) from baseline at Week 8 in the treatment period

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ezetimibe/atorvastatin 10 mg/40 mg combination tablet is equivalent to the coadministration of ezetimibe 10 mg and atorvastatin 40 mg in lowering low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) after 6 weeks of treatment.

This study is a long-term follow-up protocol for patients who participated in study NK-104-3.01EU or study NK-104-3.02EU.

This is an open-label extension study of NK-104-306 (NCT00257686) for elderly patients with hypercholesterolemia or combined dyslipidemia.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate that 76 weeks of treatment with rosuvastatin calcium 2.5-20 mg results in no progression of coronary artery atherosclerotic volume as measured by intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) imaging in hypercholesterolaemic subjects with coronary heart disease (CHD).

A 6-week treatment study to compare the reduction in cholesterol of two drugs MK0653A+Simvastatin for high cholesterol, in patients with hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerotic or coronary vascular disease.

This study evaluated whether patients with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) who received coordinated co-located behavioral health and primary care services were more likely to improve health outcomes after 12 months compared to SPMI patients who receive only behavioral health services from the local mental health authority (LMHA) Tropical Texas Behavioral Health (TTBH).The study employed a randomized control trial (RCT) design where intervention participants receiving integrated behavioral health were compared to control participants receiving the usual care provided within an LMHA for SPMI patients. Patients were placed in each group using a randomized number process. Demographic and health outcome data were collected from intervention and control participants at baseline. Health outcome data was subsequently collected at 6-month and 12-month follow-up points.

The Latino population in the United States is increasing in size; is diverse in culture, backgrounds and countries of origin; is experiencing unique influences from social and behavioral acculturation to the U.S.; is reported nationally to have lower rates of heart disease; is reported to have increased prevalence of diabetes and asthma; and is generally poorer and less educated (NHLBI working Group, 2003). They represent an important target population for disparities research. In particular Latinos accessing care in Community Health Centers in the United States represent an ideal population for conducting disparities research because lack of access to care is minimized through various governmental health insurance support mechanisms. This study will build on existing relationships to conduct the proposed study, using expertise in epidemiologic, behavioral and genetic research in an effort to promote a coordinated, comprehensive, interdisciplinary and focused research effort to improve the care being delivered to indigent Latinos at-risk for and with CVD.

This study evaluated whether uninsured patients living at or below 200% of the federal poverty level who received enhanced, culturally-relevant, integrated behavioral health services were more likely to improve health outcomes after 12 months compared to similar patients receiving usual care from Hope Family Health Center (HFHC), a charitable community clinic. The study employed a randomized control trial (RCT) design where intervention participants receiving integrated care at HFHC were compared to control participants receiving usual care at HFHC. Patients were placed in each group using simple random assignment. Demographic and health outcome data were collected from intervention and control participants at baseline. Health outcome data were subsequently collected at 6-month and 12-month follow-up points.

This study was designed to compare the mean percent change of LDL-C between Lipilou® 10mg and 20mg group after 12 weeks of treatment.
