Active clinical trials for "Hyperlipidemia, Familial Combined"

The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. To look at ultrasound images taken in the carotid arteries and to look at various lipids in the blood of people with mixed hyperlipidemia

This is a multi-center, double blind, prospective, longitudinal, randomized, 12-week study with a 52-week open-label follow-up to evaluate the safety and efficacy of daily administration of Pravastatin 40 mg or Fenofibrate 160 mg or Pravafen (the combination of both Pravastatin and Fenofibrate 40/160 mg) in the treatment of combined hyperlipidemia. There will be an open-label, 8-week, Selection Phase prior to randomization in which all patients will be stabilized on Pravastatin 40 mg/day. Following the Selection Phase, and if the patients meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria, they will be randomized to a three arm, double blind, 12-week Efficacy Phase during which they would receive either Pravastatin 40 mg or Fenofibrate 160 mg or Pravafen (the combination of Pravastatin and Fenofibrate 40/160 mg). The 12-week Efficacy Phase will be followed by an open-label, 52-week, Safety Phase in which all patients will receive Pravafen. After the 8-week Selection Phase, patients that still meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized on a 1:1:2 ratio to Pravastatin 40 mg or Fenofibrate 160 mg or Pravafen (the combination of both Pravastatin and Fenofibrate 40/160 mg) for 12 weeks. After the completion of the 12-week double-blind phase of the study, all patients that haven't had changes in their well being, will be allowed to roll-over into the 52-week, open-label, follow-up portion of the study. During the 52 week, open label, Safety Phase of the study, all patients will receive Pravafen (the combination of Pravastatin and Fenofibrate 40/160 mg). Patients will be evaluated at baseline and every three weeks thereafter throughout the initial 12-week Efficacy Phase of the study. Patients that roll-over into the 52-week, open-label, follow-up Safety Phase will be evaluated at 12, 24, 36 and 52 weeks. Participation in the study can be up to 72 weeks.

A 28-week clinical trial in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed hyperlipidemia to study the effects of MK0524A on lipids and tolerability. There will be 9 scheduled clinic visits, and 3 treatment groups. A patient can be randomly assigned to 1 of the 3 treatment groups.

This is a 12-week clinical trial in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed hyperlipidemia, studying the effects of coadministered MK0524B on lipids. There will be 6 scheduled clinic visits, and 7 treatment arms.

The purpose of this study is to assess the cholesterol lowering effects of an investigational drug in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol and high triglycerides).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the benefits of combination niacin ER/lovastatin in patients receiving standard care who are not at LDL goal per ATP III guidelines.

The purpose of this study is to assess the cholesterol lowering safety and effectiveness of two investigational drugs in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol and high triglycerides).

"Phospholipovit" vs placebo in patients with combined hyperlipidemia

The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of Welchol in combination with TriCor compared to TriCor alone on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with high cholesterol.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ezetimibe/simvastatin and niacin in patients with high cholesterol.
