Hyperlipidemia

This is a Phase II multi-center, open-label extension (OLE) clinical trial of HRS-7249, a GalNAc-conjugated APOC3-targeted siRNA injection, enrolling two cohorts of participants. Cohort 1 includes subjects who completed parent study HRS-7249-201 within 24 weeks; Cohort 2 newly recruited patients with fasting triglyceride (TG) ≥2.3 mmol/L aged 18-79 years. All participants receive subcutaneous HRS-7249 for a 48-week treatment period followed by a 24-week safety follow-up phase, with two dosing regimens. The primary objective is to assess long-term safety and tolerability of repeated HRS-7249 administration. Secondary objectives include evaluating sustained lipid-lowering effects on TG, APOC3 and other lipid profiles, impacts on glycometabolism, incidence of acute pancreatitis and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), long-term pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profiles, and anti-drug antibody (ADA) dynamics. All safety assessments including vital signs, physical examinations, laboratory tests, 12-lead ECG, injection site reactions and adverse events will be collected throughout the study. Lipid parameters, HbA1c, pancreatitis and cardiovascular events will be monitored to characterize the clinical benefit-risk profile of long-term HRS-7249 therapy in hypertriglyceridemia patients. A total of at least 400 subjects will be enrolled nationwide in China.

The goal of this study is to improve how primary care providers identify and manage patients at risk for heart disease. One tool that can help with this is a coronary artery calcium (CAC) test, which looks for calcium buildup in the heart's arteries and can help estimate a person's risk of future heart problems. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Will a new electronic health record (EHR) alert that provides guidance on when to consider a CAC test be feasible and acceptable to primary care providers? Does the alert change how often providers order CAC tests, start or change the dose of cholesterol-lowering medications, and refer patients to cardiology? In this study, a new EHR alert will be implemented as part of routine clinical practice for primary care providers at Weill Cornell Internal Medicine Associates (WCIMA). The alert will provide guidance on considering a CAC test, cholesterol-lowering medication, or referral to cardiology for eligible patients. Researchers will compare clinical care before and after the alert is implemented. They will look at how often CAC tests are ordered and completed, how often cholesterol-lowering medications are started or their doses are changed, and how often patients are referred to cardiology. After the implementation period, primary care providers will also be asked to complete a brief survey and participate in an interview about the alert.

This is a first-in-human (FIH), multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of VELA-101, following single-ascending doses via subcutaneous (SC) administration.

PCSK9 inhibitors, including evolocumab and alirocumab, are lipid-lowering therapies used in patients with hyperlipidemia and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This retrospective observational study aims to describe changes in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels following the use of PCSK9 inhibitors in adult patients with hyperlipidemia and/or atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease treated at Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá between 2018 and 2024. The study will also describe patients' clinical characteristics, treatment effectiveness, safety, adherence, and barriers to treatment access. Data will be obtained from medical records, cardiology records, and telephone interviews when needed to complete missing information.

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat high cholesterol. Cholesterol is a type of fat in the blood. Enlicitide (also known as enlicitide decanoate or MK-0616), the study medicine, is in a class of medicines designed to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). LDL-C is sometimes called "bad cholesterol." The goal of this study is to learn if enlicitide works better than placebo to lower the amount of LDL-C in a person's blood. Researchers also want to learn about the safety of enlicitide and if people tolerate it.

The study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy, and safety of SHR-1918 in reducing serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and total triglycerides (TG) in patients with hyperlipidemia compared with placebo, and also includes To evaluate the effectiveness of SHR-1918 in reducing other lipid indicators in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia and to assess the safety of SHR-1918 in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia.

This study collects exhaled breath condensate samples from healthy populations and hyperlipidemic populations, analyzes the characteristics of the exhaled metabolic lipid profile for early identification of people with abnormal blood lipids, verifies the feasibility and accuracy of a new gas detection method for screening abnormal blood lipids, and explores a simple, fast, and non-invasive method for screening abnormal blood lipids.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a proactive, EHR-guided approach helps more individuals reach safe cholesterol levels, improves medication use, and reduces future heart attacks and strokes, compared to usual care. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the EHR-LOCALE pathway increases the proportion of patients who reach the LDL-cholesterol target of \<1.8 mmol/L at 6 months? Participants in the interventional group receive: * Pharmacist contact * Repeat lipid requisitions * Review of medications, adherence, and side effects * Treatment escalation according to national dyslipidemia guidelines

This project is studying whether a team-based specialty clinic can help people with type 2 diabetes and heart disease better manage their blood pressure and cholesterol. The clinic includes coordinated care from heart doctors, kidney doctors, diabetes specialists, and liver doctors. The study will compare two groups of patients: one receiving usual care from their primary care provider, and one referred to the Duke Cardiometabolic Prevention Clinic for multidisciplinary care. The main goals are to find out if this clinic improves blood pressure and cholesterol control over 12 months, increases use of recommended heart medications, and reduces hospital visits and other healthcare use. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. Those referred to the clinic will: 1) Meet with a cardiologist for an initial evaluation. 2) Be referred to other specialists (such as endocrinology, nephrology, or hepatology) based on their needs. 3) Receive ongoing, coordinated care from a team of specialists working together to improve their heart and metabolic health.

The goal of this longitudinal study is to investigate the role of virtual health coaching on mitigation of cardiometabolic disease risk in an underserved, food insecure population. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does longitudinal, individualized health coaching directed at lifestyle modification reduce patient 10-year risk of heart attack or stroke? * Does longitudinal, individualized health coaching directed at lifestyle modification reduce rates of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes? * Does longitudinal, individualized health coaching directed at lifestyle modification improve accessibility to healthcare? Researchers will investigate the effects of regularly scheduled health coaching sessions on composite cardiometabolic risk profile as well as individual modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. Participants will: * Participate in in-person cardiovascular screening, occuring at the time of enrollment, months 3 and 6. * Engage in virtual health coaching sessions to talk about diet, exercise, weight loss, blood pressure and diabetes control, and accessibility to healthcare * Keep a log of their blood pressure

To evaluate the pharmacokinetic interaction and the safety of AD-236A and AD-236B in healthy adult volunteers

This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of SAL0167 following single and multiple dose administration in healthy participants. The study consists of two parts (Part A and Part B) with 120 participants planned to be enrolled. Possible adjustments to sample size, treatment duration will depend upon emerging data.

Background: Hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) has become the second most common cause of acute pancreatitis in China, accounting for up to 42.4% of cases, with high recurrence rates and substantial disease burden. Disease severity and recurrence risk are potentially linked to triglyceride (TG) levels. Current lipid-lowering strategies have limitations in efficacy, onset speed, or safety. Increasing evidence suggests that gut microbiota dysbiosis and impaired intestinal barrier function contribute to lipid metabolism regulation and systemic inflammation in HTG-AP patients. Probiotic supplementation may offer a novel therapeutic approach by modulating gut microbiota, improving lipid metabolism, and alleviating inflammation. Objective: To evaluate whether adjunctive treatment with Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecium enteric-coated capsules (LCBE) reduces serum TG and inflammatory markers and improves clinical outcomes in mild to moderate HTG-AP patients. Methods: This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint (PROBE design), single-center, parallel-group clinical trial. A total of 180 eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to the intervention group (standard therapy plus oral LCBE 500 mg three times daily for 28 days) or control group (standard therapy alone). The primary endpoints are serum TG, C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels on day 5 post-intervention. Secondary endpoints include TG normalization rate (\<1.7 mmol/L), lipid profile, inflammatory markers, glucose metabolism parameters, gut microbiota composition, intestinal barrier integrity, symptom relief, length of hospital stay, healthcare costs, quality of life, and safety. Expected Impact: This study aims to provide high-level evidence for probiotic adjunctive therapy in HTG-AP and to explore underlying mechanisms from the perspective of gut microbiota modulation.

This is a prospective, observational cohort study. Patients will be assigned to either the Q2W or Q3W group based on the treating physician's clinical decision, not by randomization. The aim is to evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of the two dosing regimens.This study aims to systematically evaluate the lipid-lowering efficacy and safety of two dosing regimens of Tafolecimab 150 mg-administered every two weeks (Q2W) versus every three weeks (Q3W)-over a 12-week period in patients with hyperlipidemia whose LDL-C remains above the target after 4 weeks of treatment with moderate-intensity statins with or without cholesterol absorption inhibitors. The primary efficacy endpoint is the percent change in LDL-C from baseline at week 12 of the initial treatment.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to understand whether the drug Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) can prevent glucose intolerance in participants with hyperlipidemia who are taking statins. It will also assess the safety of UDCA. The primary questions it aims to answer are: * Will UDCA reduce the incidence of glucose intolerance in participants taking oral statins? * Will the use of UDCA decrease other adverse events in patients taking oral statins? Participants will: * Take Atorvastatin combined with UDCA or a placebo daily for 6 months * Have follow-up visits on day 40, day 110, and day 180 Have their examination indicators recorded.

For Patients and Families Brief Title: Management of 1L Lorlatinib with Hyperlipidemia in ALK+ Advanced NSCLC What is this study about? This study is for people with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are taking lorlatinib (Lorbrena®) as their first treatment and have developed high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) as a side effect. Why is this study needed? Lorlatinib is a highly effective targeted therapy, but it frequently causes elevated cholesterol and triglycerides. There is currently no standard guideline on how to best manage this side effect. This study aims to find the best approach to control lipid levels while on lorlatinib treatment. What will happen in this study? The study has two parts: * Part A (Observational) : About 100 participants. Doctors manage hyperlipidemia according to routine clinical practice. Researchers simply observe and record which lipid-lowering treatments are used and how well they work. * Part B (Randomized Controlled Trial) : 60 participants with high-risk factors are randomly assigned to either: * Intensive treatment: rosuvastatin + ezetimibe + evolocumab * Standard treatment: rosuvastatin + ezetimibe What tests are involved? * Blood tests for lipid levels at baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 20, and 24 * Routine CT or MRI scans for tumor assessment * Some participants in Part B may have a non-invasive vascular ultrasound (FMD) test * Total participation per patient: up to 7 months Is this study safe? * ✅ Approved by the Ethics Committee of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center * ✅ All drugs used (lorlatinib, statins, ezetimibe, evolocumab) are already approved and widely used * ✅ An independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) monitors safety throughout the study * ✅ Participants may withdraw at any time without affecting their regular care For Healthcare Providers Study Title: Management strategy of 1L Lorlatinib with Hyperlipidemia in Stage IIIB-IV ALK positive NSCLC: A multi-center prospective study in China Sponsor / Investigators: Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (PI: Prof. Zhang Li) Study Type: * Part A: Observational, prospective, real-world cohort study * Part B: Prospective, randomized controlled trial (RCT) Estimated Enrollment: 160 participants (Part A: \~100, Part B: 60) Study Duration: Approximately 4 years (anticipated completion: December 2029) Key Inclusion Criteria: * Stage IIIB-IV ALK+ NSCLC (confirmed by IHC, FISH, PCR, NGS, or ctDNA) * No prior systemic therapy for advanced/metastatic disease * ECOG PS 0-2 * Age ≥ 18 years * Hyperlipidemia (ULN ≤ TC \< 12.93 mmol/L, Grade 1-3) while on first-line lorlatinib * At least one measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1 * Life expectancy ≥ 6 months Primary Endpoints: * Part A: Describe real-world treatment patterns for hyperlipidemia management * Part B: Percentage change in LDL-C from baseline to Week 12 Oversight: * Independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) * Trial Management Committee * Ethics Committee of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (Approval No. B2026-159-01) Participating Centers: 8 sites across China

This project aims to develop a community-based health promotion intervention model for populations at potential risk of metabolic syndrome. Through exercise training and lifestyle modifications, the project seeks to improve cardiopulmonary function and disease control, align with current public health policies, and establish an evidence-based model with strong potential for broader implementation.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), or chronic diseases, are a major public health burden globally and in Taiwan, and control of the "three highs" (hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia) is a national priority. Nearly half of the 10 leading causes of death in Taiwan are directly or indirectly related to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), for which hypertension, dyslipidemia, and abnormal blood glucose are the major risk factors. National health insurance data indicate that over 70% of middle-aged and older adults have at least one of these chronic conditions. Early stages are often asymptomatic, and inadequate control may lead to complications of cardiovascular disease, stroke, renal vascular disease, and retinopathy, causing irreversible organ damage and death. For blood pressure, large clinical trials such as SPRINT and STEP have shown that targeting systolic blood pressure below 130 mmHg significantly reduces ASCVD events. For LDL cholesterol, "the lower, the better" applies, with guideline-recommended LDL-C targets determined by baseline ASCVD risk, with levels below 55 mg/dL for very high-risk patients. For diabetes, treatment goals generally include fasting plasma glucose below 130 mg/dL and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) below 7%. Although antihypertensive therapy has been proven effective in preventing cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease attributable to hypertension, fewer than one-third of patients receiving antihypertensive medications achieve current guideline-recommended blood pressure targets. No randomized clinical trial to date has used home blood pressure as the primary therapeutic reference. Moreover, long-term evidence is lacking regarding the organ-protective effects of strategies targeting morning hypertension and of bedtime dosing regimens. Although the TIME study is currently the largest and longest-followed trial addressing dosing time, its bedtime-dosing arm was not specifically targeted to patients with morning hypertension. Therefore, we propose a clinical trial to investigate management strategies for morning hypertension. Aligned with the 2022 Taiwan Hypertension Guidelines, we will employ the "722 protocol" for home blood pressure monitoring and enroll patients with morning home blood pressure ≥130/80 mmHg to compare selective nocturnal administration of antihypertensive agents versus exclusive morning dosing, assessing differences in morning home blood pressure control rates, end-organ damage, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events. This project will implement two large-scale cluster-randomized clinical trials within the New Taipei City healthcare network. The first trial (T-888-DIGICARE) will evaluate whether a mobile digital health platform augmented with interactive digital modules can more effectively achieve the "888" targets for prevention and treatment of the Three Highs (Hypertension, Hyperglycemia, Hyperlipidemia). The second trial (DREAM-G) will use the same mobile health delivery model to investigate whether the timing of antihypertensive medication administration (nocturnal versus morning dosing) differentially affects patients with poor morning home blood pressure control. Beyond generating rigorous evidence through a novel clinical approach, this program is expected to have substantial global clinical impact and to showcase Taiwan's healthcare capabilities internationally. Operational challenges encountered and solutions developed during the trials will also provide critical feasibility data for the concurrent real-world implementation registry (T-888-DIGICARE-Registry). The registry will run in parallel with the cluster trials and will enroll individuals who decline trial participation at baseline as well as participants after trial completion, thereby serving as a continuity and real-world evidence platform.

INTENSE Trial is a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-center study with two arms (40 mg intensified statin therapy vs matching placebo for rosuvastatin) among statin-naive patients referred to coronary CT angiography due to stable chest pain, followed for 24 months by using a photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT). INTENSE Trial aims 1) to assess the effect of short-term intensified statin therapy on coronary anatomy and physiology using PCD-CT and 2) to determine the impact of short-term, intensified statin therapy on coronary plaque morphology and hemodynamics to identify statin responder and non-responder patients in addition to testing the hypothesis of "plaque memory" after the 24-month follow-up period.

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the impact of metabolic comorbidities on outcomes in elderly Chinese adults, through two parallel sub-cohorts: one comprising elderly individuals without chronic kidney disease (CKD) at baseline, and one comprising elderly patients with established CKD. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do metabolic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, calcium-phosphorus disorders) increase the risk of incident CKD, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and all-cause mortality in elderly individuals without CKD at baseline? What are the optimal diagnostic thresholds and criteria for CKD in the elderly population? How do metabolic comorbidities affect long-term outcomes - including all-cause mortality, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and cardiovascular events - in elderly patients with established CKD? What is the comorbidity profile and disease burden of elderly CKD patients in China? Participants in both sub-cohorts will: Undergo baseline assessments including laboratory tests and clinical evaluations. Provide longitudinal follow-up data through scheduled clinic visits and medical record linkage. Contribute to a large-scale cohort of 100,000 elderly participants across multiple centers in China.

This study conducted a six-month exploratory clinical trial to evaluate the impact of an exercise prescription mini-program, based on the "Exercise Guidelines for the 'Four Highs'", on the physical activity levels and related health indicators of patients with hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia in primary healthcare settings in China.

This is a randomized, controlled, collaborative, multicenter, pilot implementation science study evaluating the hypothesis that algorithm- and multi-professional team-supported lipid management reduces low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) compared with usual care in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).

Poor heart health puts Black women at risk for a shorter life with more illness than people of any other non-indigenous racial group. We will refine and conduct a randomized, wait-list controlled trial of Inspire HER (a heart health lifestyle intervention for Black women that provides health education, physical activity, and social resources). We will also compare Inspire HER and Black Impact (a heart health intervention for Black men) data to study how women and men respond differently to stress. This trial aligns with American Heart Association's pledge to address heart health equity through new interventions that consider the person and the circumstances with which they live.
