- NCT06597006RecruitingPhase 3
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 - 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 - NCT06164730RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VERVE-102 for high cholesterol or early heart disease
This trial tests a new medicine called VERVE-102 for people with a specific type of high cholesterol (HeFH) or early coronary artery disease. It aims to see if it can help lower cholesterol levels.
Dothan, AlabamaAges 18–70 - NCT06112327Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for a gene editing heart therapy
This study follows people who already received an experimental gene editing treatment for cardiovascular disease in a prior Verve trial. The goal is to monitor their health and any long-term effects over time.
AucklandAges 18 years+ - NCT06125847RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Gene therapy for inherited high cholesterol
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy to lower extremely high cholesterol in people with a rare inherited condition. It may help reduce heart attack risk in those who haven't responded to standard treatments.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 12–55 - NCT05750667Enrolling by invitation
Family screening for familial high cholesterol
This trial is about helping families with familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol) get screened. It tests a way to reach close relatives so they can learn their risk and consider next steps.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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+ - NCT05284513Enrolling by invitation
Care team study for families with high cholesterol
This study tests a “reach everyone” approach in primary care clinics to improve care for people with familial hypercholesterolemia (families with very high cholesterol). It may help families get recognized sooner and get the right follow-up.
Multiple Locations, PennsylvaniaAges 26 years+ - NCT04941599RecruitingPhase 2
2-HOBA to improve “good cholesterol” function in FH
This Phase 2 trial tests whether 2-HOBA can improve how “good cholesterol” (HDL) works in people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). If HDL works better, it may help lower heart risk markers. You would need to meet several heart, health, and medication-related safety checks.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–69 - 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 - NCT01109368Recruiting
Registry for people with inherited very high cholesterol
This trial is a registry that collects information from people with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (an inherited condition causing extremely high “bad” cholesterol). It may help researchers better understand the condition and support future studies.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - NCT03480568RecruitingPhase 3
A cholesterol injection study for people on dialysis
This study tests whether a cholesterol-lowering injection (alirocumab) helps people who are on regular dialysis. It aims to improve cholesterol control in a carefully selected group and tracks safety during treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT07614958RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new cholesterol medicine against bempedoic acid
This study compares two new medicines—obicetrapib and bempedoic acid—to see which one better lowers cholesterol in people whose cholesterol remains high despite taking standard medications. If your cholesterol isn't controlled well enough with current drugs, this trial may help you access an experimental treatment.
Stockton-on-TeesAges 18 years+ - NCT07610278RecruitingPhase 2
Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Treatment Study
This study tests a combination of two new medications (QCZ484 and inclisiran) designed to lower both blood pressure and cholesterol levels. You may be a good fit if you have high blood pressure and high cholesterol that isn't fully controlled by current treatments.
Foley, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT07591298RecruitingPhase 2
SYH2070 injection for homozygous familial high cholesterol
This study tests a new injectable medication (SYH2070) designed to lower cholesterol in people with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia—a genetic condition that causes extremely high cholesterol levels despite treatment. The goal is to see if this drug safely reduces cholesterol better than current options.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT07581808RecruitingPhase 4
Two cholesterol drugs for heart disease prevention
This study tests two newer cholesterol-lowering medications (inclisiran and alirocumab) together in people who've had heart problems or strokes and cannot tolerate standard cholesterol drugs. The goal is to see if this combination safely lowers cholesterol further and reduces future cardiovascular events.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT07543731Recruiting
Study of how patients stick with cholesterol-lowering injection medications
This study follows people who are starting one of three injectable cholesterol medications (inclisiran, evolocumab, or alirocumab) to see how well they stick with treatment over time. Understanding medication adherence helps doctors and patients find ways to improve long-term health outcomes.
BaselAges 18–99 - NCT07524101Recruiting
Statin and Ezetimibe for Heart Disease and Kidney Disease
This trial tests whether taking a moderate-strength statin (cholesterol-lowering drug) plus ezetimibe (another cholesterol medicine) together helps protect the heart and kidneys in people who have both chronic kidney disease and established heart disease or stroke history.
