Dyslipidemia Cholesterol Research

Jacksonville Center for Clinical Research is conducting a research study that will evaluate an investigational medication for Dyslipidemia.

We have many different types of fats (called lipids) in our blood. Keeping these fats in blood balanced is critical to health. When they are out of whack, we experience dyslipidemia. Dys– meaning “bad,” lipid– indicating the lipids, or fats, and –emia meaning “presence in blood”. Dyslipidemia, or “bad lipid presence in blood”, is when the lipids in the blood are out of balance. Dyslipidemia may lead to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), when cholesterols, fats, and other materials build up on the inside of our blood vessels and sometimes cause heart attack, stroke, and/or pain.

You may be eligible to participate if you:

• Are 18 to 65 years old
• Have a BMI between 18 and 35
• Have elevated lipid levels
  • Fasting triglycerides between 150 and 500
  • LDL-C levels between 70 and 190
• Are currently being treated with cholesterol lowering medication

There are additional criteria to meet to qualify for this study. Volunteers who qualify for our study will receive study-related medication, medical exams at no cost, and a stipend for time and travel. No health insurance is required to participate.
