Active clinical trials for "Hypertriglyceridemia"

The study seeks to determine if the use of omega three fatty acids in individuals infected with HIV and with high triglycerides leads to improved triglyceride levels, better blood vessel function and decrease in the amount of obstruction in blood vessels.

Approximately 1/4 of the US population has insulin resistance and the associated risk factors such as elevated lipid levels -triglycerides (type of fat from what we eat and what the liver produces and low HDL cholesterol which is the good cholesterol helping to protect against heart disease. Currently one known treatment for this a medication called fenofibrate, another medication that can improve insulin resistance is rosiglitazone, a third treatment known to improve insulin resistance an decrease triglycerides is weight loss. In this study insulin resistant individuals with elevated triglycerides and or a ratio of triglycerides to HDL cholesterol of 3:1 or greater will be randomized (selected by chance) to receive one of these treatments and results of insulin sensitivity and cardiac risk profiles will be compared at the end of the study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of volanesorsen given for 26 weeks in participants with Hypertriglyceridemia.

Assess efficacy and safety of Omacor® 4g with statin treatment for lowering TG levels in subjects with type 2 Diabetes combined with hyperlipidemia

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ARI-3037MO 3g BID compared to placebo in reducing triglyceride (TG) levels of subjects with severe (≥500 mg/dL and <2,000 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. Eligible patients will enter a 4- to 6-week lead-in period (6-week washout for subjects on non-statin lipid-lowering therapy [subjects may remain on statins during this period], 4 weeks for patients on statins only or not receiving any type of lipid-lowering therapy), followed by qualifying fasting TG measurements at visits 2 and 3, at least 7 days apart. If the baseline TG value is > 500 mg/dL and < 2,000 mg/dL, the qualified subjects will be randomized at visit 4 and enter the double-blind, 12-week efficacy and safety assessment phase. End-of-study lipid levels will be assessed on visits 6 and 7 (weeks 11 and 12 average). A final closeout and safety assessment visit will be done 14 weeks post randomization

This is a double-blind, randomized, olive oil-controlled study to investigate the efficacy and safety of Epanova as an adjunct therapy to diet for reduction of TG levels in subjects with severe hypertriglyceridemia. The study consists of an approximately 8-week screening period that includes a diet and lifestyle stabilization and washout period and a 12-week treatment period.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of DHA-O to lower elevated triglyceride levels in healthy adults with hypertriglyceridemia.

The primary objective of the study is to contrast the pharmacokinetic profiles of metformin and EPA delivered separately as co-administered products (metformin hydrochloride or Glucophage and icosapent ethyl or Vascepa) and together as the solid dose form (metformin eicosapentaenoate or TP-101) under fasted and fed conditions. A secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and repeat single doses of TP-101.

This is a trial of two marketed fish oil supplements, one with a high EPA:DHA ratio and the other with a high DHA:EPA ratio, to examine differential effects on platelet function, blood pressure, and fasting triglyceride levels.

To explore whether there is a different response to omega-3 fatty acid rich diet with respect to the hepatic fat fraction % (HFF), triglyceride, and ALT levels between the rs738409 minor allele (GG) and the common allele homozygous (CC) of PNPLA3. Hypothesis: We expect that subjects homozygous for the minor allele of the rs73049 SNP will lower their triglyceride, hepatic fat content, and ALT levels more with dietary intervention than the common allele homozygous supplementation.
