472 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
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.
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records regarding Elevated Cholesterol.
This is a Phase III, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized study in participants with HeFH and elevated LDL-C to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) injection(s) of inclisiran. The study will be multicenter and international.
This clinical study was designed to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of long-term dosing of inclisiran and evolocumab given as subcutaneous injections in participants with high cardiovascular risk and elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of subcutaneous evolocumab taken monthly compared with subcutaneous placebo taken monthly on low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and high blood cholesterol on a maximally tolerated oral dose of statin of at least moderate-intensity.
The main purpose of this study is to describe the safety and tolerability of 80 weeks of subcutaneous (SC) evolocumab when added to standard of care in children 10 to 17 years of age with familial hypercholesterolemia.
The purpose of the ACCENTUATE study is to evaluate whether the study drug known as evacetrapib is effective in treating participants with high cholesterol and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and/or diabetes.
This study is designed to define the amount and duration of cholesterol lowering and to assess the safety and tolerability of different dose regimens of LY3015014 in participants with high cholesterol. The study will also investigate how the body processes the drug and how the drug affects the body. Participants will remain on a stable diet and will continue taking cholesterol-lowering medications (statins with or without ezetimibe). After signing the informed consent document, the participant will complete a screening/run-in period that will last at most 8 weeks. Then, the treatment period will last approximately 16 weeks. After the treatment period, the participants will complete a follow-up period lasting approximately 8 weeks for a total study duration ranging from approximately 25 to 32 weeks.
This study is designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of LGT209 in hypercholesterolemic patients taking common statin medications and in healthy volunteers.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the short-term effects of a reduced fat plant-based diet on biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress and cardiovascular risk. This plant-based diet consists of whole grains, fruits and vegetables and little amounts of nuts and seeds, with no limitations on the amount of food intake. Animal products are not allowed. The results of the plant-based diet will be compared with the diet recommended by American Heart Association. This diet also emphasizes fruits and vegetables, but allows healthy fats, low-fat meats, fish and low-fat dairy in moderation. The results of the study might be useful in understanding whether or not plant-based diets are protective against cardiovascular disease.
The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of evolocumab subcutaneously once every 2 weeks (Q2W) and once monthly (QM), compared with placebo, on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH).
This is a study in healthy participants with high levels of "bad" cholesterol who are already taking a popular type of cholesterol-lowering medication called statins. Following multiple doses of LY3015014, investigators will study the safety and tolerability of the drug, how the body handles the drug, and the drug's effect on the body. Participants will remain in the study for about 3 months, not including screening. Screening is required within 28 days before the study starts.
To obtain safety and tolerability information in healthy subjects is administered as a single dose
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of repeated doses of PF-04950615 (RN316) in study volunteers with hypercholesterolemia. PF-04950615 is an investigational drug that is currently being studied as a lipid lowering agent.
This study is a Phase 1, single-center, placebo-controlled, single-blind, first-in-human, single-ascending dose study in male and female subjects with high cholesterol. A maximum of 32 subjects is planned for enrollment in this study.
The purpose of this study is to determine the role of time of dosing on the lipid-lowering effects of lapaquistat acetate, once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID), in subjects with hypercholesterolemia.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of Welchol in combination with TriCor compared to TriCor alone on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with high cholesterol.
A Multicenter Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of MBX-8025, a novel PPAR-d agonist to treat hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance and obesity in overweight, hyperlipidemic patients, both as monotherapy and in combination with Atorvastatin Total participation for each patient is approximately 16-17 weeks, which may include up to a 2 week screening period, 5 week run-in period, 8 week treatment period, and 2 week follow-up. During the run-in period patients taking statins, statin combination or Zetia will undergo a 'washout'. All patients will be instructed to follow a weight-maintenance diet (i.e., their same diet prior to entering the study). They will be asked to defer initiating any weight loss diets or meaningful changes in their activity level until after they have completed the study. Once randomized into the double blind study, patients will visit the clinic every two weeks thereafter until the end of the study. At the end of the 8-week treatment phase, the double-blind study medication will be discontinued. Patients will attend a follow up visit two weeks after their final dose for safety evaluation.
This study will examine the effect of red yeast rice extract compared to pravastatin on muscle related complaints in individuals with high cholesterol who have previously been unable to tolerate statin medications due to muscle pain. The study will determine whether red yeast is associated with a lower level of muscle related complaints compared to pravastatin.
We examined the effect of a patient-spouse intervention to lower LDL-C by increasing patient treatment adherence. A randomized controlled trial compared a one-year, telephone-based patient-spouse intervention to usual care. The primary outcome was LDL-C measured three times (baseline, 6 months, 11 months); secondary outcomes were adherence to medication, diet, and exercise, also assessed at baseline, 6 months, and 11 months.
The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. Cholesterol levels will be measured over six weeks in subjects being treated with two different kinds of cholesterol medications to see how the different treatments compare to one another.
