NCT06301906
This two-year observational study will be conducted at the outpatient clinic of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Taoyuan Chang Gung Hospital from February 26, 2024 to December 31, 2025. This study will enroll 35\~55 year-old male patients who are expected to take LipoCol Forte Capsules for primary prevention of hypercholesterolemia. The investigators will collect the TCM constitution questionnaires from patients before taking LipoCol Forte Capsules and every three months after taking the medicine. At the same time, blood will be drawn to detect glycated hemoglobin, fasting blood sugar, insulin, lipids profile, liver and kidney function, creatine kinase, predictive parameters of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and plasma bile acids, etc. Fecal samples will also be collected to analyze the intestinal microbiota and fecal bile acid composition. This study will evaluate the efficacy, durability and safety of LipoCol Forte capsules in the primary prevention of hypercholesterolemia in patients with different constitutions, as well as whether it can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and its influence on bile acid metabolism and intestinal microbiota.
NCT07058077
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.
NCT07441317
To evaluate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of QCL7401 subcutaneous administration in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed hyperlipidemia with poorly controlled LDL-C elevated on optimized lipid-lowering therapy.
NCT07191704
Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) is a group of inherited conditions that affect how bile moves in the liver, which can lead to serious liver problems. Doctors usually recommend genetic testing for patients with unexplained bile issues-after ruling out more common causes-to better understand the problem. However, there isn't much information on how common these genetic changes are in adults with these liver issues, especially in Spain. This study will observe these genetic changes so that doctors can diagnose the condition more clearly and create personalized treatment plans. This study will be conducted in several centers across Spain for 10 months. Each adult participant will take part in a single-day visit where their health information will be collected, and a blood sample will be taken for both routine tests and genetic analysis.
NCT07185919
This study will collect information from people with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) as they use odevixibat in their daily lives. Odevixibat is a medicine that helps people with PFIC, a type of rare disease that makes their liver not work well and causes itching and yellow skin. Odevixibat was first allowed to be used for PFIC in babies older than 6 months by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on 16 July 2021 and by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 20 July 2021 for itching in babies older than 3 months. Obevixibat was approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) in South Korea on 23 August 2024. This study will collect information to see how well and how safe odevixibat is in the long run for participants in South Korea.
NCT03659916
Open Label Extension Study to evaluate long term safety and persistence of effect of A4250 in children with PFIC.
NCT07444086
This Phase III clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of QLC7401 monotherapy in adults with non-familial primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia who are not receiving lipid-lowering therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive subcutaneous injections of either QLC7401 or a placebo according to the study schedule.
NCT05952869
The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of enlicitide decanoate in adult participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. The primary hypothesis is that enlicitide decanoate is superior to placebo on mean percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) at Week 24.
NCT06832371
This observational, multicenter, retrospective and prospective study aims to evaluate the effect of lomitapide treatment on Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) in patients with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). HoFH is a rare genetic disorder characterized by extremely high levels of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), leading to an increased risk of early cardiovascular diseases. Lomitapide is an approved medication that lowers LDL-C levels by inhibiting microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP). The study will collect data from patients who have been treated with lomitapide for at least 12 months and will compare the incidence of MACE during the first three years of treatment with the three years before treatment initiation. The study includes data collection from multiple lipid centers across Europe. The primary objective is to assess the impact of lomitapide on MACE, while secondary objectives include evaluating changes in lipid profiles, liver function tests, and lipid-lowering treatments.
NCT07293897
This study is a database study in Japan for maralixibat (TAK-625) used to treat participants with Alagille Syndrome (ALGS) and Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC). The main aim of the study is to evaluate the risk of liver disorder during the use of maralixibat in Japanese patients with ALGS or PFIC. This database study will conduct in use of medical database called Comprehensive and Informative Registry system for Childhood Liver Disease (CIRCLe).
NCT01760005
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, biomarker, cognitive and clinical efficacy of investigational products in participants with an Alzheimer's disease-causing mutation by determining if treatment with the study drug slows the rate of progression of cognitive/clinical impairment or improves disease-related biomarkers.
NCT06555120
Familial hypercholesterolemia is the most common treatable genetic disorder for which a simple, effective treatment is available, with few side effects. It leads to a significant increase in LDL levels, generally in excess of 1.9g/l, including in children. It is much higher than the values usually found in secondary or polygenic hypercholesterolemia. This condition multiplies the cardiovascular risk in adulthood by a factor of 13, and is responsible for 6,500 early cardiovascular events per year. In the absence of treatment, the state of the arteries of patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, at the age of 40, would be equivalent to that of 80-year-olds. Currently, the prevalence is estimated at 1 in 300 people in France. However, this prevalence is largely underestimated, as targeted screening is rarely carried out, and it is estimated that only 10% of sufferers are diagnosed in France, and only 5% of affected children are known and treated. Today, according to the French health authority, the indications for screening children are: a history of an early vascular event in one of the two parents, or familial hypercholesterolemia in a first-degree relative. However, the World Health Organization and numerous studies recommend extending screening to the general population. Screening all children and teenagers could make it possible to introduce healthy dietary habits at an early stage, to better adapt the choice of contraception in young women, to treat before the first symptoms appear and thus reduce mortality in adulthood by up to 48%, and to screen relatives who have not yet had a cardiovascular event. In Slovenia, 90% of children have had a lipid panel since 1994, significantly reducing mortality. In the United Kingdom, the lipid check-up, offered as part of a compulsory visit at the age of two, is being rolled out: 90% of families naturally take it up on the recommendation of their doctors. The treatment of hypercholesterolemia is simple, and relies first and foremost on hygienic dietary rules and treatments such as statins and Liptruzet (a combination of atorvastatin and ezetimibe), treatments that are easily accessible, effective, with few side effects and low cost.

NCT00353782
This study will evaluate people with dyslipidemias - disorders that affect the fat content in the blood. Fats, or lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, are carried in the blood in particles called lipoproteins. These particles are involved in causing blood vessel diseases that can lead to conditions like atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) or heart attack. Participants will undergo accepted medical tests and procedures to evaluate their condition. Most of the test results are helpful in making a diagnosis and in guiding treatment. People with lipid disorders are eligible for this study. Representative types of patients include those with: * Plasma cholesterol levels greater than 200 mg/dl or less than 120 mg/dl * Plasma LDL-C levels greater than 130 mg/dl or less than 70 mg/dl * Plasma HDL-C levels greater than 70 mg/dl or less than 25 mg/dl * Unusual cholesterol deposits or xanthomas (nodules of lipid deposits on the skin) Children under 2 years of age are excluded from the study. Participants will undergo some or all of the following procedures: \- Plasma evaluation. Apolipoproteins (plasma proteins involved in metabolism of cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, and proteins in the blood) and enzymes involved in lipid metabolism are measured.
NCT06414889
To evaluate the safety and feasibility of collecting hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in participants with RUNX1-FPD.
NCT05284513
Diagnosis rates of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are low in the United States, despite multiple guidelines and recommendations for screening and treatment of high cholesterol, to prevent heart attacks in those affected. Using a stepped-wedge design, the investigators plan to utilize tools from implementation science to improve uptake, acceptability, and sustainability of FH diagnostic programs in primary care settings. If successful, this study will provide tools generalizable to other health care systems to improve FH diagnosis rates.
NCT06723652
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III clinical study to assess the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by SHR-1918 in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).
NCT07279415
The research project will involve community health workers (CHWs) that will help participants to better understand their medical conditions and to responsibly manage their medical needs. The project will focus on participants with the greatest medical needs and those that have many different illnesses at the same time. CHWs will help guide participants in focusing on improving their knowledge and confidence to manage their health conditions and to improve their ability to understand how the healthcare system works. This will give participants the opportunity to take charge of their illnesses and possibly improve their health conditions over time. The CHWs will work together with participants to develop a health plan focused on their specific health needs.
