Understanding cholesterol treatment patterns in high-risk patients
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with high cholesterol or familial high cholesterol (a genetic form), or you are at high risk for heart disease
- You can have a baseline visit within six months of enrollment
- You do not have significant secondary dyslipidemia (very high triglycerides from other causes)
- Your treatment changes are related to cholesterol management, not other medical conditions

This is a study that follows people with a genetic form of very high cholesterol (familial hypercholesterolemia) and their close relatives. It aims to better understand this condition in real families and how it affects health over time.
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.
This study looks at children who may have inherited high cholesterol, especially when one parent is affected. It may help doctors detect the condition earlier and understand how it runs in families.
This study checks how common fatty liver disease is in people with a genetic form of high cholesterol. It may help researchers understand the link between these two conditions.
