About this study

Official title: Non-Interventional Study In Hyperlipidemic Patients Who Do Not Reach Satisfactory Lipid Values With Existing Hypolipemic Therapy

This study is being done to see whether dietary and medicinal measures compliant with hyperlipidemia treatment guidelines will result in achieving target lipid values and to evaluate the total risk of cardiovascular disease in study participants who have not reached satisfactory lipid levels with their current hypolipemic therapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lifestyle ChangesBehavioural

    Diet, increased physical activity, and weight reduction as per European Guidelines on the Management of Hypercholesterolemia accepted by the Croatian Society of Cardiology were encouraged in addition to pharmacological measures at the discretion of the treating physician.

  • HypolipemicsDrug

    Pharmacological measures at the discretion of the treating physician and in accordance with the respective authorized label and European Guidelines on the Management of Hypercholesterolemia accepted by the Croatian Society of Cardiology.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Target Lipid Values

    Target total cholesterol value was <4.5 mmol/L and target low densisty lipoprotein (LDL) value was <2.5 mmol/L

    Measured: Baseline and Month 3

  2. Percentage of Participants With Reduced Cardiovascular Risk

    Cardiovascular risk assessment to determine the 10-year risk for developing cardiovascular disease was done using Framingham risk scoring; categories scored are age, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol value, total cholesterol value, history of cigarette smoking, and systolic blood pressure. The total of all the points for each risk factor is used to assign a percentage of risk for the occurence of cardiovascular disease within 10 years. Total points for men range from -9 to +37 and for women from -8 to +46; >=17 total points for men, and >=25 total points for women indicates a >=30% risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

    Measured: Baseline and Month 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dyslipidemia, run by Organon and Co.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jan 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants Achieving Target Lipid Values (time frame: Baseline and Month 3). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Feb 2022.
