Trial Now Recruiting: Natural History of Uncommon Dyslipidemias, Rare Lipid Disorders and Unusual Atherosclerotic Conditions (NCT06676046)
WHY IT MATTERS
This natural history study will help doctors better understand rare lipid disorders that are often genetically inherited, potentially leading to improved treatments and monitoring strategies for patients with uncommon dyslipidemias.
Researchers are looking for 1,500 people with rare blood fat disorders to join a long-term study. The study will track how these conditions change over time and how people's bodies respond to different treatments. This research is sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, a major government health organization.
NCT ID: NCT06676046 Status: RECRUITING Conditions: Dyslipidemia, Atherosclerosis Enrollment: 1500 Sponsor: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Summary: Background: The right amount of fats in the blood (cholesterol and triglycerides) are a key part of a healthy organism. Too much or too little of these fats may manifest as diseases (dyslipidemia). There are many causes for these abnormalities, but some are genetically determined and we would like to better understand the progression of these conditions over time. Objective: This natural history study aims to learn more about dyslipidemias; how they change over time; and how they respond to t
