Optimizing cholesterol treatment for heart health
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial helps people with high cholesterol or a history of heart disease find the best treatment to lower their risk of future heart problems. It tests a program to optimize lipid-lowering therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have high LDL ('bad') cholesterol of 160 mg/dL or higher.
- You have very high LDL (190+) without treatment and a family history of early heart disease.
- You have had a heart attack and are not on optimal cholesterol-lowering medication.
- You have a close family member (parent, sibling, child) with early heart disease.
- You have a personal history of coronary artery disease (blockages in heart arteries).
- You have very high triglycerides (500+) or high lipoprotein(a) or high coronary calcium score.

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.
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 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.
This trial tests an experimental treatment that uses tiny particles to deliver a genetic message to help lower very high cholesterol caused by a rare inherited condition. It may offer a new option for people who have not responded to standard treatments.
This study aims to find and help people with very high cholesterol, which can run in families. If you or your child have high cholesterol, this study may help you understand your risk and get the right care.
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.
