Orlistat for the Treatment of Type I Hyperlipoproteinemia
Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IHypertriglyceridemiaPatients 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.

A Phase 3 STudy of CaPRe In LOwering Very hiGh TriglYcerides (TRILOGY 1)
HypertriglyceridemiaThe 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).

Crocus Sativus (Saffron) and Berberis Vulgaris (Barberry Fruit) in Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic SyndromeHypercholesterolemia2 moreThe 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.
