Study of cholesterol and triglyceride problems over time
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how cholesterol and triglyceride levels change in people with dyslipidemia (unhealthy cholesterol/fat levels). Researchers want to understand what different causes mean for long-term health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 2 years old and weigh more than 12 kg (about 26 lb)
- Have a known or suspected cholesterol or fat level problem (dyslipidemia)
- Have lab results showing abnormal cholesterol or triglycerides, such as very high total cholesterol or very low total cholesterol
- Have lab results showing abnormal LDL (“bad cholesterol”) levels, either very high or very low
- Have lab results showing abnormal HDL (“good cholesterol”) levels, either very high or very low, or abnormal triglyceride levels (often high)

This study looks at people with rare or unusual cholesterol, fat, or heart-related conditions. It helps researchers learn more about these disorders and improve testing. You do not need to have a known diagnosis to join initially.
This study looks at how a body receptor (called the A2A receptor) works in people with high “bad” cholesterol (LDL). It compares people with high LDL to people with normal LDL to better understand cholesterol-related biology.
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.
This study observes how doctors treat high cholesterol in patients at increased heart disease risk. By understanding current treatment approaches, researchers aim to improve how cholesterol is managed and reduce heart disease risk.
This trial focuses on people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), an inherited condition that causes very high cholesterol. It aims to better understand and manage severe cholesterol problems that raise heart risk, especially in families.
This study looks at why triglycerides and cholesterol can be abnormal and how that may affect organs like nerves, liver, and metabolism. You may be included if you already take a statin, have certain triglyceride levels, diabetes, kidney disease, or specific lab patterns suggesting inherited fat disorders.
