Active clinical trials for "Hyperlipoproteinemias"

This multicentre, open-label, single-arm Study is to evaluate the effect of Rosuvastatin 20 mg 76 weeks on coronary atherosclerosis plaque versus baseline in Chinese coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with hyperlipidemia by measuring the plaque volume using a 64 slice spiral CT. Effect on blood lipids, hsCRP and Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is also evaluated.

The aim of the study is to compare the effects of coadministration of ezetimibe 10 mg/die + fenofibrate 200 mg/die versus pravastatin 40 mg/die monotherapy in HIV-infected patients treated with protease inhibitors. Single-centre, open, randomized, controlled, prospective pilot study. 60 patients will be enrolled in order to reach the target of 50 patients evaluable at the end of the study. The patients will be randomly assigned to a 6-month treatment with ezetimibe+fenofibrate or with pravastatin.The visit will be every month.

Patients with familial dysbetalipoproteinemia (FD) have increased triglycerides, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), beta VLDL, premature atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. They also have a delayed postprandial triglyceride and chylomicron (CM) remnant clearance. Postprandial hypertriglyceridemia is associated with increased vascular risk. Although combination therapy with statin and fibrate is recommended in the treatment of patients with FD, there is still a substantial amount of patient who do not reach their treatment target with this medication. Furthermore no information is available about the postprandial effects of adding evocolumab to standard lipid lowering therapy in FD patients.

Red yeast rice is a source of active compounds in reducing LDL levels with practically no side effects. Molval Fort is a natural product available in the Lebanese market with a combination of red yeast rice extracts, EPA/DHA and coenzyme Q10. The investigators are conducting this study to explore the effect of red yest rice extracts based product on LDL and its side effects in a sample of primary care Lebanese patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of acupuncture and moxibustion compared with active control, on absolute and percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) among those with hyperlipidemia.

Study design Multicenter, double-dummy, double-blinded, randomized, Phase 4 study Patients will be randomized to either a study group or a control group in a 1:1 ratio, and will be orally administered the assigned drugs Study Objective -The study is designed to demonstrate that efficacy and safety of morning dosing of Simvast Controlled Release (CR) Tab is not inferior to evening dosing of Zocor Tab in patients with stage 3,4,5 chronic kidney disease with hyperlipidemia Primary objective -to assess the percent change of LDL-C at Week 8 from baseline in Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) stage 3,4,5 with hyperlipidemia subjects.

This is a 12-week, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, active-controlled, non-inferiority study (TATPITA20101005) to compare the efficacy and safety of pitavastatin (Livalo®) and atorvastatin (Lipitor®) in high risk hypercholesterolemic patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of electronic health record clinical decision support and automated telephone outreach on antihypertensive and lipid-lowering therapy in ambulatory care.

The aim of this study is to examine the therapeutic effect of green tea extract on obese women and the correlation analysis between traditional Chinese medicine syndrome and obese related hormone peptides.

Statin therapy does not fully eliminate the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk associated with low high density lipoprotein-C (HDL-C) and high triglyceride levels. It is currently unknown what would be the best treatment option for patients with mixed hyperlipidemia who fail to meet their lipid targets with statin monotherapy at conventional does, i.e. high dose rosuvastatin or conventional statin dose plus micronized fenofibrate or conventional statin dose plus niacin/laropiprant. The aim of the present study is to compare the efficacy of high-dose rosuvastatin vs conventional statin dose plus micronized fenofibrate vs conventional statin dose plus extended-release niacin/laropiprant on lipid profile in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia. The primary efficacy endpoint will be changes in non-HDL-C levels at 6 months after treatment initiation.
