Study of inclisiran for children with homozygous familial high cholesterol
This trial tests a new medicine called inclisiran to lower very high cholesterol in children aged 2 to 12 who have a specific genetic condition (homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, or HoFH). You may not need to change your current cholesterol treatments, and the study will check if inclisiran can help reduce your LDL cholesterol further.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–11 - NCT07491172RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of CTX310 for stubborn high cholesterol and fats
This trial tests a new medicine, CTX310, for people with persistently high levels of fats (triglycerides) and cholesterol that have not improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and tolerable.
Hialeah, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT07477704RecruitingPhase 2
Weekly alirocumab for high cholesterol study
This study tests if a weekly injection of alirocumab (Praluent) is safe and effective for people with high cholesterol. It aims to help lower LDL cholesterol that has not responded enough to current treatment.
Anniston, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT03989167Recruiting
Decision support for inherited high cholesterol records
This trial tests a computer “decision support” tool for primary care clinics to help manage familial hypercholesterolemia, an inherited condition that can cause very high cholesterol. It may help clinics make more consistent decisions using patients’ health records.
LinköpingAges 18–80 - NCT04073797Recruiting
PET scan study of inflammation and cholesterol-lowering treatment
This study uses PET/CT and related scans to measure inflammation in artery plaque and how cholesterol-lowering treatment changes it. It may help researchers understand which treatments reduce artery inflammation for people with heart or blood-vessel disease and high LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.
CambridgeAges 18–99 - NCT04529967Recruiting
Screening kids for inherited high cholesterol
This study checks children ages 1 to 3 during routine care to see who may have familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic condition that causes high cholesterol. Early identification can help families learn about next steps and prevention.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 1–3 - NCT07634484RecruitingPhase 4
Pemafibrate for high cholesterol not controlled by statins
This study tests whether pemafibrate, a new medication, can lower cholesterol better when added to statin treatment in patients whose cholesterol remains high despite taking statins regularly. The goal is to see if this combination reduces heart disease risk.
HokkaidoAges 18 years+ - NCT05614219Recruiting
Check if you have high cholesterol from genes
This trial focuses on people referred to a cholesterol (lipid) clinic to help identify inherited high cholesterol. It tests an “interpretive comment” approach to nudge detection—meaning it may help clinicians recognize who is most likely to have familial hypercholesterolemia.
Odense, FunenAges 18 years+ - NCT06125847RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Gene therapy for inherited high cholesterol
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy (NGGT006) to treat a severe form of inherited high cholesterol that doesn't respond well to standard medications. It aims to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 12–55 - NCT06458010RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Gene therapy trial for inherited high cholesterol
This trial tests a new gene therapy called YOLT-101 for people with familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol. The treatment aims to lower cholesterol levels and reduce heart risks.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06555120Recruiting
Screening kids for inherited high cholesterol
This study checks children for a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol from a young age. If found early, steps can be taken to lower heart disease risk later in life.
AmiensAges 2–18 - NCT06571630Recruiting
Familial high cholesterol registry
This registry study collects information from people with familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic condition causing very high cholesterol) to better understand the disease and improve care. By participating, you help researchers learn more about this condition.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hypercholesterolemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 80 recruiting hypercholesterolemia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a hypercholesterolemia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a hypercholesterolemia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
