Lipoprotein (a) is a type of lipid (a variant form of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol) in the body that is a risk factor for heart attacks and strokes, as it promotes plaque buildup in the arteries. Having high levels of Lp(a) is a genetic condition, which most people may be unaware of whether they have or not. This is due to there being no symptoms and standard medical tests do not check specifically for levels of Lp(a).
Although most people are unaware, it is estimated that 1 in 5 people have elevated levels of Lp(a), which makes them more at risk. As part of participation in these clinical trials, your Lp(a) levels will be checked. The clinical trials are looking at potential treatments that aim to reduce the levels of lipoprotein(a) in the body
Whether you’re aware you have elevated Lp(a) levels, are living with cardiovascular disease or are at risk of experiencing a heart attack or stroke as a result of your age, smoking history, family history or due to a medical condition, register your interest in these clinical trials today and our research team will be in touch with you.
These clinical trials are open to those participants who may:
Your participation in these clinical trials will involve receiving the trial treatments, or placebos, throughout the trial durations. Your participation in these clinical trials will also involve regular visits to your local FutureMeds clinic throughout the course of the trials. This is to ensure that you will be monitored throughout by our expert medical team.
Participants in these clinical trials may also receive reimbursement for their trial related time and activities, such as visits to our clinic.
Participation in clinical trials provides access to innovative and potentially life-saving treatments. It also contributes to medical research, benefiting both current and future healthcare outcomes. It provides cutting-edge medical care under professional supervision and empowers individuals to contribute to the well-being of society. However, participants should carefully weigh up the risks and benefits and seek advice from their doctor before taking part in a trial.
