Trial summary

Purpose The LDL-C is a very important marker of the lipid panel which allows the introduction of a treatment and then the follow-up to prevent the cardiovascular risk. Friedewald et al have established the most widely used equation at the present time. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: LDL Cholesterol: Friedewald, Always the Best Option to Evaluate LDL cholesteRol Concentration in norMal and Dyslipidemic sUbjects, in Fasting and Pot-prandiaL State?

Purpose The LDL-C is a very important marker of the lipid panel which allows the introduction of a treatment and then the follow-up to prevent the cardiovascular risk. Friedewald et al have established the most widely used equation at the present time. However, it has many well-known limitations, as being false in postprandial period.

New equations have been developed recently. Our work consisted in the assessment of the accuracy of Friedewald, Sampson and Martin-Hopkins equations and evaluated the consequences in terms of misclassification. Given that European recommendations allow the realization of lipid profiles in postprandial period, we studied the accuracy of these equations in non-fasting state .

Method The LDL cholesterol concentrations will be calculated using at least three different equations (Friedewald, Sampson, Martin-Hopkins). Results will be compared between equations and between calculated and measured concentrations determined using an ultracentrifugation method. The study is conducted out according to The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) and obtained the agreement of the Scientific and Ethics Committee of the Hospices Civils de Lyon (LDL EQUATION CNIL 21_488) Hypothesis

To evaluate the most accurate equation in different conditions:

  • Fasting and non-fasting state
  • In subjects with normal or dyslipidemic lipid profile To evaluate the clinical impact on risk re-classification and lipid treatment goals if LDL-c is calculated using the best equation instead of the Friedewald's.
Being tested
no intervention, Serum LDL cholesterol calculation

    The serum LDL cholesterol concentrations will be calculated using at least three different equations (Friedewald, Sampson, Martin-Hopkins)

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the most accurate equation to calculate LDL cholesterol (mmo/L or g/L)

    The outcome measure is LDL cholesterol concentration (mmol/l or g/L) determined using different equations (Friedwald, Martin Hopkins, Sampson equations, …) and measured.

    Measured: The outcome measure will be assessed through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dyslipidemias and Lipid Disorder, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2022. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Evaluation of the most accurate equation to calculate LDL cholesterol (mmo/L or g/L) (time frame: The outcome measure will be assessed through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 NCT05598216, 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 28 Oct 2022.
