Active clinical trials for "Hyperlipoproteinemias"

The Purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of 1-MNA, a drug that is intended to be used in the treatment of elevated levels of blood fats. This study will determine the way that 1-MNA is handled by the body, and will also determine its effect on commonly measured blood fat parameters.

To demonstrate the effect of JTT-705 doses from 300 mg to 900 mg on the elevation of HDL-C and on the inhibition of CETP activity versus placebo, in patients presenting with mild dyslipidaemia. These objectives will be tested after 4 weeks of treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of two dose levels of JTT-705 when co-administered with pravastatin 40 mg on HDL-C and LDL-C and the inhibition rate of CETP activity and to document short term safety.

open-label, multiple dose, single-group, 12 week trial in HIV-infected patients with hyperlipidemia while using lopinavir/ritonavir; both male or female subjects.

In the present study the investigators are researching the effects of the cholesterol absorption inhibitor ezetimibe on postprandial lipemia and postprandial endothelial function in patients with the metabolic syndrome. The lipid-lowering effect of high-dose statin monotherapy on fasting lipids is equal to the combination therapy of low-dose statin and ezetimibe.

Evaluation of the efficacy of rosuvastatin 10mg, rosuvastatin 20mg and pravastatin 40mg in subjects with dysbetalipoproteinemia.

The purpose of this trial is to re-evaluate the potential role of diet in modulating cardiovascular risk factors. If potent lipid-lowering effects through novel dietary interventions can be demonstrated, then diet may again be seen as providing an alternative to drug therapy in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Aims: To determine the percentage of lipid clinic attendees interested in making a serious dietary change. To determine the extent to which a self selected dietary portfolio combining viscous fiber foods (oat & barley β-glucan, psyllium, etc.), soy and vegetable protein foods (soy milk, soy meat analogues and almonds) and plant sterols (sterol margarine) in the same diet be significantly more effective in reducing LDL-cholesterol and other markers of cardiovascular disease risk than conventional dietary advice. To determine whether this effect can be maximized by more frequent follow-up, and what, if any, would be the relationship between dietary compliance and reduction in LDL-C.

The primary purpose of this trial is to determine if the treatment with rosuvastatin 10 and 20mg/day during 8 weeks in hypertriglyceridemic patients will reduce their triglyceride levels.

In HIV hypercholesterolemic patients treated with protease inhibitors, some drugs of the statin group are used to control cholesterol level. New and potentially more efficient statins may interfere with protease inhibitors and hence loose a part of their activity. They have thus to be compared with a more established drug of the same class (e.g. pravastatin). The protocol compares the efficacy and safety of rosuvastatin and pravastatin.

This is a 12-week clinical trial in lipid clinic patients for whom niacin therapy is appropriate to evaluate the efficacy of MK0524 to improve the tolerability of extended-release niacin. There will be 6 scheduled clinic visits and 3 treatment arms.
