NCT00001154
Researchers plan to study the fat-rich particles, called lipoproteins, which circulate in the blood. This study is designed to improve understanding of normal, as well as abnormal, lipoprotein metabolism and the role it plays in the development of hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Patients participating in this study will receive injections of lipoproteins or apolipoproteins (the protein component of lipoproteins) that have been isolated and purified. These lipoproteins will be labeled with small amounts of radioactive material and sterilized before they are injected into the patient. Patients participating in the study will be required to have blood samples taken, and provide urine samples throughout the course of the study. In addition, patient will be required to follow a specially formulated diet. Patients will be weighed throughout the course of the study.
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.

NCT06331195
The main objective of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of the adapted Brazilian Cardioprotective Diet (DICA Br) supplemented or not with phytosterols and/or krill oil in patients with a probable or definitive diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) according to the the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (Dutch MEDPED) criteria. In addition, the following will be considered secondary objectives: to perform participants´ whole genome sequencing (WGS); to evaluate the effects of the interventions on lipid profile biomarkers; to evaluate the frequency of mild, moderate and severe adverse events according to study groups; and to evaluate adherence rates according to study groups. In this study, 300 individuals will be randomly enrolled into four groups: 1) DICA Br adapted to the FH context (DICA-FH) + phytosterol placebo + krill oil placebo (control group); 2) DICA-FH + 2g/day of phytosterol + krill oil placebo; 3) DICA-FH + phytosterol placebo + 2g/day of krill oil; and 4) DICA-FH + 2g/day of phytosterol + 2g/day of krill oil. Primary outcomes will be LDL-cholesterol for groups phytosterol vs. placebo and lipoprotein(a) for groups krill oil vs. placebo after 120 days of follow up.
NCT07000136
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AZD0780 in adults with HeFH and elevated LDL-C, either with clinical ASCVD and LDL-C levels of 55 mg/dL or higher or without clinical ASCVD and LDL-C levels of 70 mg/dL or higher. AZD0780 is a small molecule that reduces the amount of LDL-C in the blood. Placebo will be used for comparison, and neither the participants nor the Investigators will know who is receiving the AZD0780 medication and who is receiving the placebo until the end of study. The total length of the study for an individual participant will be up to approximately 56 weeks, including a screening period of up to 14 days, treatment with AZD0780 or placebo for 52 weeks, and a safety follow-up period of 10 days.

The entire study period includes a screening period of no more than 2 weeks, a run-in period of 4 weeks, a double-blind treatment period of 12 weeks, and a safety follow-up period after the last treatment. Participants were required to maintain a stable and healthy lifestyle throughout the trial.
NCT06568601
Statins are the most cost-effective medications to lower cholesterol and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, many patients at high-risk for CVD do not accept or adhere to statins. This gap in patient's use of statins limits the full impact of these effective medications resulting in higher cholesterol levels and CVD risk. The main barriers to using statins are patients' perceived lack of benefit, excess risk of statin toxicity as well as their misperceptions of their CVD risk. Statin pharmacogenomic testing - an application of precision medicine - is a readily available, feasible, and inexpensive intervention that addresses this barrier by using genetic testing to identify the nearly 1 out of 2 patients with enhanced benefit and/or reduced risk of statin toxicity or increased risk for CVD. By communicating statin pharmacogenomic test results to Veterans at high-risk for CVD not taking statin therapy, the investigators aim to improve patients' perceptions of their risk of CVD and statins and, in turn, their acceptance of and adherence to statins to reduce their cholesterol levels and CVD risk.
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.
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....

The trial aims to characterize patient phenotypes, investigate factors affecting disease progression, and identify minimum criteria for disease onset. Conducted at Néstor Kirchner Hospital, the trial enrolls participants over 18 years old with confirmed pathogenic TTR variants. It includes thorough evaluations such as genetic testing sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, clinical assessments, and diverse diagnostic tests.
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.
