Summary: The purpose of this open-label, single arm, multicenter extension study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of inclisiran in participants with HeFH or HoFH who have completed the ORION-16 or ORION-13 studies.

Summary: The study is to assess the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy after 48 and 72 weeks with monthly (Q4W [<31 days]) dosing of subcutaneous (SC) LIB003 300 mg administered in patients with CVD or at high risk for CVD (including HoFH and HeFH) on stable diet and oral LDL-C lowering drug therapy who completed one of the LIB003 Phase 3 base studies.

Summary: To date, there are highly effective lipid-lowering drugs, the combination of which makes it possible to achieve the target level of LDL-C in most patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). However, the effectiveness of treatment of FH patients strongly depends on adherence to lipid-lowering therapy and to the healthy lifestyle, as well as the detection of the disease and the therapy prescri...

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: Design, refine, and pilot the two implementation approaches using behavioral economics and then seek further feedback prior to the proposed clinical trial, consistent with these recommendations. Aim 1. Co-design both implementation strategies using behavioral economics in partnership with the Family Heart Foundation and key partners from diverse backgrounds. Aim 2. Pilot strategies with 20 patient...

Summary: This study will be a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Obicetrapib in Participants with a History of Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HeFH).

Summary: This repository will establish for the first time a system to carefully assess and monitor over time the general health and the amount of cholesterol in the arteries of U.S. children and adults with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (hoFH). Patients with this very rare disorder have very high blood levels of cholesterol from birth due to the inheritance of an abnormal gene from each parent....

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: Multiple-dose study to measure PK, PD and safety of bempedoic acid in pediatric patients 6 to 17 years of age with HeFH.

Summary: This is an open-label study designed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of evinacumab, a fully human ANGPTL3 antibody, in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), in a real-life setting in Canada. Eligible patients for this study are male and female adult patients with HoFH. Evinacumab will be added on top of the patient's background lipid-modifying therapy (LMT), ...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to test two implementation strategies (automated health system [Penn Medicine]-mediated strategy vs. Family Heart Foundation-mediated strategy using a patient navigator) versus usual care to promote family cascade screening for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in Penn Medicine patients diagnosed with FH (probands). The main questions this study aims to answer a...

Summary: The Investigators will conduct a longitudinal, mixed-methods cohort study to assess primary and secondary psychosocial outcomes among 705 MyCode pediatric participants and their parents, and health behaviors of parents whose children receive an adult- or pediatric-onset genomic result. Data will be gathered via quantitative surveys using validated measures of distress, family functioning, quality ...
