Summary: Participants with documented homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) who have provided informed consent will receive 2 open-label doses of ARO-ANG3 and be evaluated for safety and efficacy parameters through 36 weeks.
Summary: This study evaluates plaque burden and characteristics in early-treated FH patients compared to late-treated FH patients and healthy individuals.
Summary: 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 im...
Summary: The investigators will first conduct a fully controlled dietary randomized crossover trial (RCT) including 72 adults with HeFH to investigate the impact of a diet low in red and processed meats and high in plant foods, reflecting Canada's Food Guide, in place of a standard North-American diet on LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and the plasma metabolome. Such a robust design will also lead to the id...
Summary: ACCURATE will test the hypothesis that opportunistic genetic testing for Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) in patients admitted to hospital with an acute coronary syndrome will increase the diagnosis of FH and will impact patient care and outcomes. The study will recruit patients admitted to hospital with an acute coronary syndrome, and research-based genetic testing will be conducted for known F...
Summary: JS002 is a recombinant human anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibody.The study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical study in Chinese patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of JS002 150 mg (Q2W) and 450 mg (Q4W) subcutaneous injection (SC).
Summary: This study will be a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 study in participants with underlying heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and/or ASCVD to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of obicetrapib as an adjunct to diet and maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapy
Summary: A pilot study to study the feasibility of the screening of familial hypercholesterolemia within the setting of the legal medical visits at primary school.~The pilot study shall evaluate whether this screening set-up is efficient to detect patients having familial hypercholesterolemia, detect further patients by an adjacent cascade screening of family members, to deliver treatment to these patients...
Summary: Longitudinal and observational registry-based cohort study of individuals participating in the national digiphysical screening program for Familial Hypercholesterolemia. The information collected in the screening process will be combined in pseudo-anonymous form with data from the National Board of Health and Welfare (registries: Cause of Death, Diagnoses according to International Classification ...
Summary: While 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has been used as an early marker of drug efficacy in numerous clinical cardiovascular drug trials, as a glucose analog, its signal in the vasculature lacks inflammatory cell-specificity. Moreover, high background 18F-FDG signals from the myocardium often preclude coronary artery imaging, despite attempts to suppress myoc...
Summary: The overarching objective is to evaluate the relationship between diet and coronary artery calcification in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). We will recruit adults with HeFH. They will have to complete questionnaires on diet, medication and lifestyle. Coronary artery calcification will be measured in each patient using a CT scan. Physiological and biochemical data w...
Summary: This is a pivotal phase III study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in adolescents with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
