Active clinical trials for "Hyperlipoproteinemias"

To date, there are highly effective lipid-lowering drugs, the combination of which makes it possible to achieve the target level of LDL-C in most patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). However, the effectiveness of treatment of FH patients strongly depends on adherence to lipid-lowering therapy and to the healthy lifestyle, as well as the detection of the disease and the therapy prescription as early as possible, better in childhood. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of genetic testing and motivational counseling on the effectiveness of treatment and cascade screening in patients with FH.

Investigators aimed to evaluate efficacy and safety of early Initiation of evolocumab and combination lipid-lowering agent (statin + Ezetimibe) on lipid profiles changes in patients with ACS undergoing PCI

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase Ⅲ clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of AK102 in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed hyperlipidemia.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase # clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of AK102 Q6W in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed hyperlipidemia.

This study explores the efficacy of domestic adlay in improving blood sugar and lipids metabolism, cardiovascular function, and weight control in people with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. Through two weeks of cooked adlay-rice and white rice by a randomized cross-over design to evaluate the lipid- and glucose-lowering effects of adlay on patient with hyperlipidemia and/or hyperglycemia.

preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≥ 50%) and are accompanied by dyslipidemia (LDL ≥ 100 mg / dl) will be enrolled. Only patients who do not meet the exclusion criteria should be enrolled in the study. Once the patient is selected, the patient is informed of the study and receives the consent form. Patients who are eligible for all of the criteria and who do not qualify as exclusion criteria should be enrolled in the study and randomly assigned in a 1: 1 dose of rosuvastatin/ezetimibe 10/10mg once daily or rosuvastatin 20 mg once daily. Patients who previously used statins have a wash-out period of 4 weeks or more. Patients will visit outpatient clinic at 12 weeks and 24 weeks after initiation of treatment. Physical examination, blood test, and 6 minute working test will be performed. For fasting blood tests, patients visit on an empty stomach. Drug adverse events and changes in vital signs or body weight will be checked. After 48 weeks of treatment, the patients will visit outpatient clinic for efficacy evaluation; physical examination, blood test, transthoracic echocardiography, cardiopulmonary exercise test, central blood pressure, and pulse wave velocity. Drug adverse events and medication compliance will be checked. The primary endpoint is change of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and secondary endpoint is improvement of diastolic dysfunction, VAC index, peak VO2, distance of 6 minute working test, and clinical outcomes including death, readmission rate.

To study the efficacy and safety of pitavastatin and PCSK9 inhibitors in liver transplant patients on ongoing immunosuppressive therapy.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical study evaluating the long-term efficacy and safety of AK102 in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed hyperlipidemia.

This study was 8 weeks randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess the effect of zinc in Atorvastatin treated hyperlipidemic 92 patients. Participants were assessed at baseline, and 8 weeks. Subjects were randomized to receive either atorvastatin+placebo in one arm or atorvastatin +zinc 30mg tablet in another arm daily for 8 weeks. The outcome was the measure of fasting lipid profile, sgpt, serum creatinine at baseline and after 8 weeks following the intervention.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality after renal transplantation, accounting for more than 30% of deaths. Elevated lipid levels (hyperlipidemia) are a frequent finding following transplantation and the immunosuppressive medications play a central role in the development or worsening of hyperlipidemia. In the general population, the correlation between elevated serum cholesterol and increased risk of cardiovascular disease is well established and the reduction in serum LDL cholesterol has proved to significantly reduce both morbidity and mortality. Statin based drugs are the standard of care in the management of hyperlipidemia. Commonly used statin-based drugs include atorvastatin (Lipitor), fluvastatin (Lescol, Lescol XL), lovastatin (Mevacor, Altoprev), pravastatin (Pravachol), rosuvastatin (Crestor), simvastatin (Zocor), and pitavastatin (Livalo). These drugs have been proven to lower lipid levels as well as cardiovascular risk. However, statin-based drugs also cause a variety of side effects. While the most commonly encountered side effects are toxicity to the liver and muscles, a few others have also been known to cause increased excretion of protein in the urine and kidney failure. These side effects are also more common in a renal transplant recipient due to the simultaneous administration of drugs that prevent rejection. Therefore, there is an emergent need for newer drugs which are both efficient and safe especially in this population PCSK-9 inhibitors (Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin Kinase-9 inhibitors) are a new class of drugs that are highly efficient in lowering lipid levels in the general population. However, an exclusive trial involving kidney transplant recipients is yet to be done. Through this study, we would like to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Evolocumab (trade name: Repatha) which is a PCSK-9 inhibitor developed by Amgen, Inc in renal transplant recipients. The study would involve a total of 120 patients across 3 different hospitals in Boston, Massachusetts.
