Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • fasting serum LDL-C ≥ 70 mg/dL (≥1.81 mmol/L)
  • Have fasting TG ≥150 mg/dL (≥1.7 mmol/L) and \<400 mg/dL (\<4.5 mmol/L)
  • Know diagnosis of T2DM OR have metabolic syndrome defined as fasting TG ≥150 mg/dL (≥1.7mmol/L) and \<400 mg/dL (\<4.5 mmol/L) and at least 2 risk factors
  • Are on stable guideline-recommended lipid-lowering therapy
  • Estimated ≥15 mL/min/1.73 m2

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have current or any previous history of class III or IV heart failure or \<30%
  • Have been hospitalized for heart failure within 5 years prior to Screening
  • Have uncontrolled severe hypertension
  • Have a formal diagnosis of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia
  • ≥10.0% (≥0.100 fraction) or a fasting glucose ≥270 mg/dL (≥15.0 mmol/L) at Screening
  • active liver disease
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
