Active clinical trials for "Hyperlipoproteinemias"

Regular probiotic use for 8 weeks was evaluated in individual with mild to moderate hyperlipidemia. Current study have been determined the use of different probiotics strains on lipid parameters such as; total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride levels as well as glycemic parameters such as; glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR levels. Also, hs-CRP levels were investigated as inflammatory parameter.

This study is a multicenter, double blinded, active and placebo controlled randomized clinical trial to demonstrate a superior lipid lowering effect of Bococizumab (PF-04950615; RN316) compared to placebo in subjects who are statin intolerant.

The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of subcutaneous evolocumab administered every 2 weeks and once a month, compared with placebo, on percent change from baseline in LDL-C when used in combination with statin therapy in adults with high cardiovascular risk and with hyperlipidemia or mixed dyslipidemia.

Individuals in Appalachian Kentucky are vulnerable to cardiovascular disease (CVD) by virtue of having high rates of multiple CVD risk factors. There is a critical need to develop and test CVD risk reducing interventions that are appropriate and effective in Appalachia. In the absence of such interventions, the dramatic CVD disparities seen in this area will continue to rise. Lifestyle interventions reduce CVD risk by 44%. The investigators and others have demonstrated that lifestyle change is most effective when patients are given the tools to engage in effective self-care, and that interventions individualized to patients' specific needs and barriers are more effective than interventions that are not. The central hypothesis is that to be successful in Appalachia, CVD risk reducing interventions must focus on patient-centered lifestyle change that increase individuals' abilities to engage in self-care, must be culturally appropriate, and must have components that overcome barriers faced by individuals living in Appalachia. The investigators propose a randomized, controlled comparative effectiveness trial with 300 individuals from Appalachian Kentucky who do not have a primary care provider and who are at risk for CVD by virtue of having two or more modifiable CVD risk factors. The investigators will compare (1) a patient-centered, culturally appropriate, self-care CVD risk reduction intervention (HeartHealth) designed to improve multiple CVD risk factors while overcoming barriers to success with (2) referral of patients to a primary care provider for management of their CVD risk factors. The investigators propose the following specific aims to be tested at 4 months and 1 year after baseline. To compare the short and long-term impact of the interventions on: 1) the risk factor selected by patients (i.e., tobacco use, blood pressure, lipid profile, hemoglobin-A1c (HgA1c) for diabetics, body mass index, waist circumference, depressive symptoms, or physical activity level); 2) all of the CVD risk factors of each patient; 3) quality of life; 4) patient and healthcare provider satisfaction; 5) desirability and adoptability by assessing adherence to recommended CVD risk reduction measures, and retention of recruited individuals. The investigators hypothesize that in comparison to the referral strategy, the multifaceted patient-centered, self-care intervention will engender more favorable outcomes across all measures.

This study is a multicenter, randomized study in subjects with high cholesterol receiving highly effective statins to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Bococizumab (PF-04950615;RN316) to lower LDL-C.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of XueZhiKang to improve plasma lipid profile, as compared to placebo, in outpatients with hyperlipidemia.

This study will assess safety, tolerability, and effect of LCQ908 on blood lipids in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether SLx-4090 in combination with statin therapy will reduce LDL-C in patients with hyperlipidemia more effectively than statin therapy alone.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mipomersen (ISIS 301012) in subjects with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia on lipid-lowering therapy. This study consisted of a 26-week treatment period and a 24-week post-treatment follow-up period. Following treatment and Week 28 evaluations, participants could elect to enroll in an open-label extension study (301012-CS6; NCT00694109). Participants who were not eligible or elected not to enroll in the open-label extension study or who discontinued during the 28-week treatment period were followed in this study for 24 weeks from administration of the last dose of study drug.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atorvastatin for the treatment of Taiwanese patients with diabetes and high cholesterol.
