Active clinical trials for "Hypertriglyceridemia"

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of Epanova® on the pharmacokinetic and anticoagulant activity of warfarin. The secondary objective of this study is to compare the systemic exposure of EPA and DHA following multiple-dose administration of Epanova®, a free fatty acid mixture, to Lovaza®, a mixture of fatty acid ethyl esters, under low-fat meal conditions since these products are likely to be administered to patients with cardiovascular disease who are recommended to consume low-fat meals.

Bexarotene is a RXR-selective retinoid, licensed for the treatment of cutaneous T cell lymphoma. The most frequent adverse effect is hypertriglyceridemia but its mechanism is not well known. The purpose of this study is to research a carbohydrate metabolism disorder associated in bexarotene-induced hypertriglyceridemia.

This Phase 2 proof-of-concept study will assess the lipid regulating efficacy and safety of ETC-1002 in subjects with hypercholesterolemia and either normal or elevated triglycerides.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of maraviroc therapy in obese insulin resistant subjects on: Plasma triglyceride concentration Plasma HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentrations Plasma markers of cardiometabolic risk and inflammation

This study will assess safety, tolerability, and effect of LCQ908 on blood lipids in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, multi-center study. Following a 6-8 week placebo and dietary-controlled baseline period, approximately 195 men and women with either hypertriglyceridemia or mixed hyperlipidemia with serum triglycerides (TG) > 200 mg/dl (2.26 mmol/l) will be randomized to receive either placebo, 30 mg 1-MNA or 90 mg 1-MNA three times daily for twelve weeks. Lipid and ancillary exploratory parameters will be evaluated at screening, during the baseline period, upon randomisation and throughout the 12-week active treatment period. Additionally, blood samples will be drawn at randomisation and at clinic visits during the active treatment period for sparse sampling population pharmacokinetic assessments. All blood samples for lipid assessments and glucose measurements will be collected following a 12-hour fast. Safety and tolerability will be assessed throughout the trial through the evaluation of physical exams, ECGs, routine hematology and blood chemistry testing, and adverse events.

The primary objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of Epanova (omefas) compared to placebo in lowering serum triglycerides in subjects with severe hypertriglyceridemia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Omacor (omega-3-acid ethyl esters) combined with atorvastatin for lowering non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in hypertriglyceridemic subjects.

This was a 24-month, open-label extension study that followed an 8-week double-blind study (Study LOV111859/OM5) and an 8-week, open-label extension study (LOV111860/OM5X). Study LOV111859/OM5 was conducted to evaluate whether combination therapy with Lovaza (omega-3-acid ethyl esters) and Antara (fenofibrate) would result in a greater reduction in serum triglyceride levels in hypertriglyceridemic subjects than treatment with fenofibrate alone. This second extension of 24 months was to assess the continued efficacy of adjunctive Lovaza (omega-3-acid ethyl esters) [formerly known as Omacor] therapy in hypertriglyceridemic subjects treated with Antara (fenofibrate) in lowering serum triglyceride (TG) levels.

This study will build upon a previous finding that showed a triglyceride lowering effect of prescription omega-3 in combined therapy with statins. The proposed study will use a simple change from baseline design on 15 subjects who are hypertriglyceridemic on stable statin therapy. The protocol involves 3 study visits; each involve drawing a blood sample: day 1 - screening (blood draw for qualification and safety); day 7 - before taking prescription omega-3 fatty acids (Lovaza, 4 capsules/d; GlaxoSmithKline), day 63 -after taking prescription omega-3 fatty acids (Lovaza, 4 capsules/d; GlaxoSmithKline). The proposed study will include up to 15 subjects and will utilize several different measures of lipoprotein structure and function. The investigators will measure functional parameters such as the binding affinity of lipoproteins before and after treatment with omega-3 fatty acids. The investigators will also measure fatty acid, oxylipin and apolipoprotein content of plasma, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL).
