Observation of the Effects of Guideline-driven Lifestyle Interventions, Including Use of a Red-yeast Based Nutraceutical , in Subjects With Hypercholesterolemia at Low-moderate Cardiovascular Risk Not Requiring a Drug Therapy

The objective of the present multinational, multicentre, prospective, scientific study is to confirm that prescription of a low-dose red yeast-based nutraceutical.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

The objective of the present multinational, multicentre, prospective, scientific study is to confirm that prescription of a low-dose red yeast-based nutraceutical significantly increases the LDL-C lowering effect of guideline-driven lifestyle interventions in subjects with hypercholesterolemia at low-moderate cardiovascular risk not requiring a drug therapy.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

25 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Subjects to be enrolled are subjects already in primary prevention for CVD for raised LDL-C and who, according to the intervention strategies recommended in Table 5 of the ESC/EAS guidelines (lifestyle interventions, consider drug if uncontrolled) had been prescribed, in the previous 3 months, only dietary advices and physical exercise.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age between 25 and 75 years;
  • In primary prevention for low-moderate CV risk, with diet and physical exercise to control raised LDL-C level, for at least 3 months;
  • LDL-C > 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L), < 190 mg/dL (4.9 mmol/L)
  • CV risk SCORE <5% (based on SCORE chart according to figure I for Poland respective figure 2 for Austria and Germany in the ESC/EAS guideline 2019);
  • Triglyceride <400 mg/dL;
  • Advised to use nutraceutical as part of the lifestyle intervention as per guideline and within the product label (i.e. posology as in product label);
  • Written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects being treated or who have been treated for up to 3 months before the start of the study with lipid-lowering drugs or nutraceuticals including functional foods for which lipid-lowering effects are known (e.g. fish oil, sterol-containing yoghurts etc.);
  • Subjects involved in other clinical studies with pharmaceutical products
  • Known laboratory evidence of either liver, muscle, thyroid or kidney dysfunction;
  • Subjects with prior history of cardiovascular events or with high cardiovascular risk equivalents;
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure >190 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >100 mmHg);
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean change from baseline in LDL-C
Time Frame: 3 months
Mean change from baseline in LDL-C at 3 months
3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Subjects' adherence to the prescribed lifestyle interventions measured on Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: at 3 months and 6 months
Subjects' adherence (at 3 months and 6 months) to the prescribed lifestyle interventions measured on Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); minimum 0mm, maximum 100mm; higher value means better adherence
at 3 months and 6 months

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
December 8, 2020

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
