Jacksonville – Gene Editing Cholesterol Research
Gene Editing Approaches for Cholesterol Studies (High‑Level Overview)
 
Gene‑editing research for cholesterol management focuses on permanently lowering LDL‑C or triglycerides by targeting genes that regulate lipid metabolism. These studies are typically preclinical or early‑phase clinical and emphasize long‑term cardiovascular risk reduction.

This study is evaluating an investigational treatment aimed at lowering the risk of heart disease in individuals with high Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and other risk factors. You may be eligible if you have elevated levels of this genetic cholesterol marker.

You may qualify if you:

  • Are 50 years of age or older
  • Have high Lp(a) levels (≥200 nmol/L)
  • Have risk factors for heart disease such as:
  • High blood pressure
    • Diabetes
    • High cholesterol
    • Smoking history
  • Or have evidence of plaque buildup in your arteries

 You may not qualify if you have:

  • A prior heart attack, stroke, or TIA
  • Had stents, bypass surgery, or plan to have one soon
  • A history of major bleeding disorders

Why participate?

  • Help advance research in heart disease prevention
  • Compensation may be available (if applicable)
