Active clinical trials for "Hyperlipoproteinemias"

The purpose of this research study is to learn if using statin in patients with nephrotic syndrome could lower the risk of blood clots. Nephrotic syndrome is a collection of signs and symptoms that occur when the glomeruli -the tiny filters that work in the kidney- leak protein in the urine. One of the symptoms associated with nephrotic syndrome is hyperlipidemia: too much bad cholesterol (LDL). This bad cholesterol could be linked to the increased risk of blood clots in patients with nephrotic syndrome. The study doctors would like to see if taking a statin drug to reduce the amount of bad cholesterol could reduce the risk of blood clots.

The investigators performed a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Kochujang pills on improvement of blood lipids. The investigators measured improvement of blood lipids parameters , including Total Cholesterol, LDL-C, Triglyceride and HDL-C, and monitored their blood pressure.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superior efficacy of NK-104-CR 8 mg daily compared to Livalo® IR 4 mg daily on fasting serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction and to evaluate the comparative safety of NK-104-CR 8 mg daily to Livalo® IR 4 mg daily after long-term treatment

The purpose of this study is to assess sample collection conditions for various dietary challenges (fat, sugar, and mixed) and determine the optimal fasting and post-meal sample collection time points for future studies on a larger group of individuals. Study participants will attend three study visits where they take part in lipid, glucose, and mixed meal challenges. At each of the three visits, participants will provide venous blood samples and a urine sample before consuming the test meal and will provide 6 additional venous finger blood samples post-meal.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of homogenized, unhomogenized and skimmed milk on postprandial metabolism in healthy overweight men

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of short- and long-term intervention with EPA and DHA-rich fish oil on gene expression profiles in healthy and hyperlipidemic males.

To measure the percentage of patients who achieve all the treatment lipid goals being treated with ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/20 with or without MK0524A (1-2 g/day).

The purpose of this study is to test whether chronic administration of the drug acipimox will improve hyperlipidemia and insulin sensitivity among HIV infected patients experiencing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) associated metabolic disturbances.

This study will investigate the safety and tolerability of SLN360 in patients with elevated Lp(a).

The present study will assess the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering effect of colesevelam as an adjunct to niacin for the improvement of lipids and glycemic control in dyslipidemic subjects with impaired fasting glucose.
