Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1

This study tests a new type of stem cell transplant for children with primary immune deficiencies or inherited metabolic disorders. The transplant uses stem cells from a half-matched family donor, which are specially processed to remove certain immune cells. The goal is to see if…

This study tests whether a daily probiotic called AKM Lab-01 can safely lower cholesterol levels in people with high cholesterol. About 60 adults aged 40-60 will take either the probiotic or a placebo for a period, and researchers will compare changes in their blood cholesterol a…

This Phase 2 trial tests a new drug called HDY015, which combines two medicines (QCZ484 and inclisiran) into a single injection. The goal is to see if it can safely lower both blood pressure and cholesterol in people who have both conditions. About 120 adults aged 18-75 with hype…

This study tests a new drug called obicetrapib against another drug, bempedoic acid, to see which lowers 'bad' cholesterol more effectively. It involves 426 adults with high cholesterol who are already on maximum cholesterol medications and are at high risk for heart problems. Th…

This study tests a bone marrow transplant from a family donor for children under 21 with severe non-cancer blood disorders like sickle cell disease, bone marrow failure, or immune problems. The goal is to see if the transplant can replace the diseased cells with healthy donor cel…

This early-stage trial tests a new CRISPR-based treatment called CTX310 for people with severe cholesterol and triglyceride problems that don't improve with standard therapies. The treatment uses a tiny fat bubble to deliver gene-editing tools that turn off a gene linked to high …

This registry is tracking 1,500 Italian patients who are prescribed alirocumab 300 mg injections for high cholesterol. Researchers want to see how consistently patients take the medication and how well it lowers their cholesterol in real-life settings. The study also monitors sid…

This study looks at whether eating cottonseed oil just three times a week can help lower cholesterol and reduce heart disease risk. Researchers will give 75 overweight or at-risk adults meal replacement shakes with different amounts of cottonseed oil for 56 days. They will measur…

This study tests whether adding inclisiran (a twice-yearly injection) to standard care lowers LDL cholesterol more than standard care alone in 520 patients who recently had a heart attack, stroke, or urgent heart procedure. Participants are randomly assigned to receive inclisiran…

This program offers extra stem cells from a half-matched family donor to patients who are getting a cord blood transplant for serious blood cancers or immune disorders. The goal is to help the bone marrow recover more quickly while the cord blood cells take over permanently. It i…

This study aims to screen 300 children aged 2 to 18 for familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol and greatly increases heart disease risk in adulthood. A small blood sample is taken after fasting to measure cholesterol levels. The goal …

This study aims to better understand and treat people with certain inherited metabolic or genetic disorders. Researchers will use standard medical tests like blood work and imaging to diagnose and care for participants, who may also join other related studies. The goal is to expa…

This study looks at children with suspected or confirmed genetic and metabolic disorders to find new disease-causing gene mutations. Researchers will analyze blood samples for DNA and metabolites, and in some cases take a small skin sample. The goal is to better understand these …

This study at Necker Hospital in Paris is checking how well patients with inherited metabolic diseases follow their daily oral medication routines. About 200 patients (children aged 7 and up, teens, and adults) will fill out a questionnaire during a regular visit. The goal is to …

This study enrolls up to 15,000 children with known or suspected endocrine or metabolic disorders, along with their family members. Researchers will collect medical records, blood, saliva, and other samples to identify genetic changes linked to these conditions. The goal is to be…

This study is creating a large collection of blood, urine, stool, and heart tissue samples from 10,000 people with and without heart or metabolic conditions. The goal is to store these samples along with medical information to speed up future research into what causes these disea…

This study tests a new communication tool called 'Let's Get REAL' that helps children and teens (ages 8-17) and their families talk together about stem cell transplant or cellular therapy decisions. The goal is to see if the tool is easy to use and helpful for families. About 60 …

This study uses MRI scans to look for brain differences in people with metabolic diseases compared to healthy volunteers. Researchers will track changes over time and link them to body fat and other health measures. About 126 adults will take part at Ulm University Hospital. No d…

This study looks at how often young children (ages 1 to 6) with inherited metabolic diseases develop eating disorders when they are on special diets. Researchers will use a feeding scale to measure eating problems in 200 children. The goal is to understand the link between these …

The SMILE study is tracking 10,000 adults aged 18 and older to see how sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) and metabolic diseases like diabetes influence overall health and lifespan. Researchers will collect data from medical records, tests, and surveys over time. This is an obs…

This study looks at how lipoproteins—tiny particles that carry cholesterol in the blood—work in healthy people and those with lipid disorders like high cholesterol. The goal is to understand how these particles affect heart and blood vessel health, especially when they don't func…

This study follows 100 children under 18 who are already on a ketogenic diet for conditions like drug-resistant epilepsy, autism, chronic migraine, or brain tumors. Researchers want to see if the diet supports healthy growth, improves symptoms, and boosts quality of life. The die…
