Helping diagnose and manage familial high cholesterol
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is testing ways to improve how doctors identify and manage familial hypercholesterolemia (a strong inherited tendency to have very high cholesterol) using computer tools and behavior-focused strategies. It may help patients get earlier, more coordinated care if they are at high risk but not yet officially diagnosed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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.
This study looks for family members of people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol. The goal is to help find and screen relatives who may also have FH, so they can get earlier care.
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 trial aims to identify kids and teens who may have inherited high cholesterol (especially LDL) and may be at higher risk for early heart artery disease. It may help families learn about their risk and ensure the right follow-up and treatment plan.
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.
