Active clinical trials for "Hypertriglyceridemia"

The purpose of this study is to test the effects of saxagliptin, a treatment for diabetes, on fasting and post-meal blood triglyceride (blood fat) levels.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects (good and bad) of giving a drug called pentoxifylline to patients with acute pancreatitis.

Patients with Type I Hyperlipoproteinemia (T1HLP) have a rare form of hypertriglyceridemia marked by significant chylomicronemia and recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis. T1HLP is caused by a deficiency of lipoprotein lipase or one of its cofactors. Many patients are a challenge to treat, as the only effective therapy available is an extremely low fat diet. This diet is exceedingly difficult to follow, and despite adherence, many patients still have chylomicronemia and develop acute pancreatitis. Specific Aim: To determine the efficacy of a gastric and pancreatic lipase inhibitor, Orlistat, in reducing serum triglyceride levels in patients with T1HLP.

This study is a double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 12 week study performed in 2 centres in Sweden to assess the effect of Omega-3 carboxylic acids and fenofibrate on liver fat measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with over-weight and hypertriglyceridemia.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of CaPre 4 g daily, compared to placebo, in lowering fasting triglyceride (TG) levels in patients with fasting TG levels ≥500 mg/dL and ≤1500 mg/dL (≥5.7 mmol/L and ≤17.0 mmol/L) after 12 weeks of treatment. Approximately 615 subjects will be screened to obtain 245 randomized subjects following a 2.5:1 treatment allocation ratio (CaPre: placebo).

Pharmacodynamic effects of MAT9001 compared to Vascepa in adults with hypertriglyceridemia

The primary objective is to determine the change in Triglyceride (TG) levels following 12 weeks of repeated Intravenous (IV) doses of evinacumab.

The primary objective was to investigate the effect of 12-week treatment of Omacor on fasting serum triglycerides (TG) in Chinese subjects with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG). The secondary objectives were to investigate the safety and tolerability and effect of Omacor on lipid parameters after 12 weeks treatment.

The metabolic syndrome is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. The age-adjusted prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in the United States is 34% for men and 35% for women. Emerging alternative medicine worldwide led investigators to evaluate the efficacy of Crocus sativus (Saffron) and Berberis Vulgaris (barberry fruit) in treatment of metabolic syndrome. Serum total cholesterol, serum LDL cholesterol, serum HDL cholesterol, serum triglyceride, Fasting Blood Sugar and hematocrit measured before and after 45 days of treatment.

This study is to determine a dose response signal for LCQ908 monotherapy and to assess the efficacy and safety of adding LCQ908 to Lovaza or fenofibrate.
