Active clinical trials for "Hyperlipidemias"

The aim of the study is to examine whether the extract of green tea is effective on type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of coadministered Irbesartan and Atorvastatin in patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of adding anacetrapib to ongoing statin therapy in participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH).

A multidisciplinary team of clinicians and researchers will conduct a pilot feasibility study to evaluate whether dietary intake of dry bean powder or rice bran or a combination is a helpful dietary recommendation to reduce total cholesterol levels in children with identified, modifiable CVD risk factors, elevated total cholesterol and obesity. Consumption of dry bean powder and rice bran merit additional investigation to study feasibility and acceptability in children and how they influence their lipid levels or obesity.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the coadministration of valsartan (Diovan®) 160mg and rosuvastatin (Crestor®) 20mg in comparison to each component administered alone in patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

Low and very low carbohydrate diets, such as the Atkins' Diet, have recently gained attention for their potential health benefits from weight loss and have gained some scientific support from a growing number of studies. Benefits have been noted in relation to raised "good" cholesterol, lower "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides. Other studies have shown an advantage in substituting vegetable fat for carbohydrate in insulin resistant individuals and in some instances in type 2 diabetes where improvements were seen in "good" cholesterol and blood sugars. At the same time, our research have been exploring diets containing less processed carbohydrates and other components which in combination (portfolio diet) have a similar cholesterol lowering effect to drug therapy. Therefore we wish to determine whether our cholesterol-lowering components (portfolio diet) should be incorporated into lower carbohydrate diets especially to preserve "good" cholesterol and lower "bad" cholesterol for decreasing the risk of heart disease.

A 16 week open-label study with subjects receiving background metformin monotherapy. 150 subjects randomized 1:1:1 to receive 1 of the following: open-label colesevelam HCl, open label rosiglitazone, or open-label sitagliptin.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term effectiveness of the dietary portfolio, consisting of viscous fibers, soy products, nuts and plant sterols, as well as the effects of removing single food components from the dietary portfolio on cholesterol reduction and other cardiovascular risk factors.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ezetimibe in association with statins is more effective than statins alone on postprandial lipemia in type 2 diabetic patients.
