PET scan study using a cholesterol-tracking tracer in healthy adults
This early study tests how well a special PET scan tracer can show cholesterol movement in the body. It is for healthy adults who do not have known adrenal problems, and it aims to collect basic imaging safety and dose information.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04546126RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan study tracking cholesterol movement in your body
This early study uses a special PET scan dye to see how cholesterol moves through the body. It is testing how the imaging works in healthy people and in people with adrenal gland hormone secretion problems, to better understand cholesterol handling.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05765370Recruiting
LDL cholesterol study in people 75+ with heart or blood vessel disease
This trial studies how to lower “bad” cholesterol (LDL) in people age 75 and older who have already had heart, brain, or leg/blood-vessel problems from blocked arteries. The goal is to see if the approach helps prevent further cardiovascular events (like heart attack or stroke).
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 75 years+ - NCT06422741Recruiting
Grape seed extract for cholesterol in night shift workers
This study tests whether a grape seed extract supplement can help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol in people who work rotating night shifts. It is looking for healthy adults with moderately high cholesterol who are not taking cholesterol medicine.
Reus, TarragonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06526013Recruiting
Cholesterol self-testing after a heart attack
This trial tests if people who recently had a heart attack can use a home cholesterol test to check if their LDL cholesterol is on target. The goal is to help you manage your cholesterol better and lower your risk of another heart problem.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT06649240Recruiting
Best LDL cholesterol goal after small vessel stroke
This trial is testing the best target for 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) after a type of stroke caused by a small blocked vessel. You would be in one of two groups to see which LDL level helps prevent another stroke the most.
AnsanAges 19 years+ - NCT07428473RecruitingPhase 1
Study of STX-1150 for high cholesterol
This early-phase trial tests a new medication called STX-1150 for people with high LDL cholesterol. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how well it works to lower cholesterol.
Clayton, VictoriaAges 18–70 - NCT07351175Recruiting
Can a special cheese lower cholesterol by changing gut bacteria?
This study tests whether eating a type of aged cheese can help lower cholesterol by affecting the good bacteria in your gut. It is for people who regularly eat cheese, have slightly high cholesterol, and are generally healthy.
ReadingAges 18–65 - NCT05047354Recruiting
Study cholesterol metabolism in rare genetic conditions
This study looks at body chemistry (cholesterol-related lab findings) and physical features in people with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome and related rare genetic cholesterol disorders. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and how they affect the body.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–100 years - NCT03770312RecruitingPhase 4
Testing low/moderate statin use to prevent heart problems in older adults
This study looks at whether taking a low- to moderate-dose statin can prevent first-time heart and stroke problems in people age 70 and older. It may help you lower “bad cholesterol” (LDL) and see if that leads to fewer heart events over time.
SeoulAges 70 years+ - NCT07178769Recruiting
Testing a supplement for lowering cholesterol
This trial tests a nutritional supplement with bergamot, artichoke, and other natural ingredients to see if it can safely lower cholesterol in people with moderately high LDL. It may be an option for those not currently on other cholesterol treatments.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07028749RecruitingPhase 2
Study of an experimental drug for high triglycerides and remnant cholesterol
This trial tests an investigational medication, MAR001, to see if it can lower high levels of fats in the blood (triglycerides and remnant cholesterol) linked to heart disease. If you have these conditions, this treatment might help reduce your risk.
Anniston, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT06471036Recruiting
Improving cholesterol testing and treatment after a heart attack
This study tests whether giving extra education to doctors and patients can help improve cholesterol management after a heart-related hospitalization. It aims to see if a simple program can make sure patients get the right testing and treatment for high cholesterol.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06988462Recruiting
Bottarga supplement for metabolic health
This study tests a supplement called bottarga, made from fish eggs, to see if it improves cholesterol, blood sugar, or weight in people with metabolic problems like high cholesterol or prediabetes. It is a small pilot study for Massachusetts residents.
Sommerville, MassachusettsAges 18–60 - NCT04485871Recruiting
Omega-3 supplements to lower diabetes risk in at-risk adults
This trial tests whether taking omega-3 fatty acids can reduce risk factors for developing diabetes in people with normal cholesterol but other risk factors. You might be asked to follow study visits and dietary/health restrictions for about 33 weeks.
Montreal, QuebecAges 45–74 - NCT04903223RecruitingPhase 1
Testing how fat in the liver affects statin use in kids
This early study tests whether “liver fat” changes how a statin (rosuvastatin) works in children and teens. It may help doctors choose safer or more effective dosing in kids based on biology and a specific genetics marker.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 8–21 - NCT05488431RecruitingPhase 2
Bempedoic acid to lower cholesterol and inflammation in HIV
This Phase 2 trial studies whether bempedoic acid can lower cholesterol and inflammation in people with HIV who are already on effective HIV medications. It may help reduce signs of artery inflammation that can contribute to heart and stroke risk.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT05641753RecruitingPhase 4
LDL-lowering study for adults with type 1 diabetes
This study looks at cholesterol lowering in adults with type 1 diabetes and whether it reduces “residual risk,” meaning risk that may remain even with current care. You may be asked to take cholesterol-focused treatment and complete blood tests to track LDL (“bad cholesterol”).
