This is a pivotal phase III study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in children (aged 6 to \<12 years) with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC).
This is a pivotal phase III study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in children (aged 2 to \<12 years) with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC).
The CASCADE-FH Registry is a national, multi-center initiative that will track the therapy, clinical outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes over time. The registry represents a collaboration between The Familial Hypercholesterolemia Foundation, the Duke Clinical Research Institute, lipid specialists, cardiologists, primary care providers, quality improvement personnel, and patients, all aiming to increase FH awareness, promote optimal disease management, and improve FH outcomes.
This study is designed to learn if enlicitide decanoate is safe and effective to treat children and adolescents with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and high amounts of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood. The goals of this study are to learn about the safety of enlicitide and if children tolerate it, what happens to enlicitide in a child's body over time, and if enlicitide works to lower cholesterol levels in children more than a placebo.
This multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of zodasiran subcutaneous (SC) injection in subjects 12 years of age and older with genetically or clinically diagnosed Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). After completion of the double blind (DB) treatment period subjects will be eligible to continue in the optional open-label extension (OLE) period of the study. All placebo subjects who opt to continue will transition to active drug during the OLE Period.
Very-low carbohydrate ketogenic diets can dramatically increase blood cholesterol levels, particularly in normal-weight people, for reasons that are not well understood. This study will enroll normal-weight adults, will identify "responders" who develop high cholesterol on a ketogenic diet, and will measure rates of production and removal of certain types of cholesterol-carrying particles called lipoproteins in responders. The results will clarify the mechanism by which a ketogenic diet can cause high cholesterol in certain susceptible people.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a computer alert can aid clinicians in identifying patients with a genetic type of high cholesterol, called Familial Hypercholesterolemia. The main question it aims to answer is whether the computer alert increases recognition of this high cholesterol disorder.
The goal of this implementation trial is to learn if providing education to doctors and patients who have had a heart event works to prevent future heart problems. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does educating the doctors in a health system improve how often patients in the hospital for a heart event have their cholesterol checked? 2. Can a "care champion" who calls patients who have been discharged from the hospital after a heart event help patients to achieve their cholesterol goals? Researchers will compare the number of people who achieve their cholesterol goals with the help of the care champion to the number of people who did so without the intervention to see if the care champion works to help patients lower their cholesterol. Participants will: Complete two 15 minute surveys over the phone - 1 at enrollment and 1 at the end of the study 6 months later.
The purpose and objective of this study is to improve cholesterol treatment among blood donors with FH (Familial Hypercholesterolemia).
The overall goal of this study is to promote awareness of Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH). The investigators aim to enroll patients with suspected FH into the study and will randomize them to receive usual care or motivational interview. Primary study outcomes include knowledge of FH, as well as clinical and patient-reported outcomes. This study aims to promote optimal disease management and improve outcomes of FH patients.
