Active clinical trials for "Hyperlipidemias"

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ezetimibe/simvastatin and niacin in patients with high cholesterol.

This study will evaluate the efficacy of diet and exercise (DE), with and without niacin and fenofibrate, in reducing the cardiovascular risk of patients with HIV lipodystrophy or dyslipidemia.

The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. To assess the safety and efficacy of the fixed combination torcetrapib/atorvastatin in subjects with Fredrickson Type IV Hypertriglyceridemia.

The purpose of this research is to study the effects of rosiglitazone, a drug usually taken for Type II diabetes, on HIV-associated hyperlipidemia. HIV-associated lipodystrophy is a medical condition characterized by gradual changes in the distribution of body fat. The body fat located in the extremities and face disappears while body fat around the abdomen and upper back increases. Certain biochemical changes occur in association with these changes in fat distribution. Lipid levels particularly serum triglycerides are increased. HDL, the "good cholesterol" is decreased. Higher than normal level of insulin or insulin resistance is also found in this condition. This latter condition is one of the hallmarks of Type II diabetes. The protease inhibitors, a class of HIV medications, are associated with the occurrence of HIV-associated lipodystrophy. It has been suggested that a biochemical pathway known as the peripheral peroxisomal activating receptor (PPAR) gamma system is blocked leading to the onset of this condition. Rosiglitazone is a new drug approved by the FDA in 1999 for the treatment of type II diabetes. It lowers blood sugar by improving insulin resistance, which as mentioned before, is the hallmark of Type II diabetes. It has also been noted to improve blood lipid levels. Rosiglitazone works by stimulating the PPAR gamma system. It is hoped that this drug can turn on the PPAR system and reverse the HIV-associated lipodystrophy syndrome.

This study is being conducted to adapt and pilot test a technology-enabled, primary care strategy for routinely monitoring medication use and adherence among older adults with multiple chronic conditions and polypharmacy.

To leverage access to patients across the primary care network, EPIC tools for identifying eligible patients, and the Way to Health platform to launch and enroll a program that will be evaluated in a clinical trial that is focused on changing patient behavior and powered to detect differences in improving blood pressure and cholesterol over 6 months for Penn Medicine patients in West/Southwest Philadelphia and Lancaster.

Compare the pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety between CKD-391 tablet and D337, D337 combination

To evaluate the efficacy and the safety of concomitant use of Ezetimibe/Rosuvastatin combination tablets and Candesartan cilexetil/Amlodipine besylate combination tablets compared to each combination tablet alone in patients with essential hypertension (HTN) and hyperlipidemia.

JS002 is a recombinant humanized anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibody. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JS002 prefilled syringes and prefilled autosyringes in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed hyperlipidemia when combined with statin therapy. In this study, one dose group (150 mg) were set up in this study. 240 subjects are plan to be enrolled (the study drug will be assigned to a 2:1 :2:1ratio of JS002 PFS / placebo or JS002 AI / placebo ). Each subject required a maximum of 6 weeks of screening, 12 weeks of treatment, and 8 weeks of follow-up.

Primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of AD-221 in healthy male subjects.
