What is being measured

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

  1. Cholesterol efflux capacity (%)

    [3H-cholesterol (µCi) in medium containing HDL/(3H-cholesterol {µCi} in medium containing HDL+µCi of 3H-cholesterol {µCi} in cells)] x 100

    Measured: Change of HDL functions from baseline to 8 weeks

  2. Endothelial NO production (Arbitrary unit)

    measured with nitrate assay kit and expressed as relative amount compared to control (no HDL treatment sample)

    Measured: up to 8 weeks

  3. VCAM-1 expression (Arbitrary unit)

    western blotting of VCAM-1 protein and expressed as relative amount compared to control (no HDL treatment sample)

    Measured: up to 8 weeks

  4. ROS generation (Arbitrary unit)

    fluorescence intensity measurement using dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate and expressed as relative amount compared to control (no HDL treatment sample)

    Measured: up to 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. ApoA-I

    quantitation of intensity of western blot and expresses as relative amount to control (no HDL treatment sample)

    Measured: Change of HDL associated proteins from each patient at baseline and at 8 weeks

  2. ApoA-II

    quantitation of intensity of western blot and expresses as relative amount to control (no HDL treatment sample)

    Measured: Change of HDL associated proteins from each patient at baseline and at 8 weeks

  3. ApoC-I

    quantitation of intensity of western blot and expresses as relative amount to control (no HDL treatment sample)

    Measured: Change of HDL associated proteins from each patient at baseline and at 8 weeks

  4. ApoC-II

    quantitation of intensity of western blot and expresses as relative amount to control (no HDL treatment sample)

    Measured: Change of HDL associated proteins from each patient at baseline and at 8 weeks

  5. ApoC-III

    quantitation of intensity of western blot and expresses as relative amount to control (no HDL treatment sample)

    Measured: Change of HDL associated proteins from each patient at baseline and at 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Atorvastatin 20 mg, Cholestyramine 8 g and Omega-3 2g in people with Hyperlipidemia, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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 18 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Cholesterol efflux capacity (%) (time frame: Change of HDL functions from baseline to 8 weeks). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02942602, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Jul 2018.
