Hypolipidemic Agents

Hypolipidemic Agents are a class of pharmaceutical compounds that help lower elevated levels of lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, in the blood.
These agents work by inhibiting the production or absorption of lipids, or by enhancing their removal from the body.
They are commonly used to manage conditions like hyperlipidemia, which can lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

In this phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, patients with SLE on SOC therapy were assigned to receive placebo, or belimumab 1 or 10 mg/kg by intravenous (IV) infusion over 1 hour on days 0, 14, and 28, and every 28 days through week 72. While the initiation of an immunosuppressive (IS) drug was prohibited during the trial, the addition of a new antimalarial (AM) drug and dose increases of concomitant IS or AM drugs were permitted until week 16. After week 16, however, the maximum doses of IS or AM drugs could be no greater than the higher of the baseline or week-16 dose. For corticosteroids, any dose was permitted through week 24; thereafter through week 44, the dose had to be within 25% or 5 mg of baseline. Between weeks 44 and 52, no increase over the higher of the baseline or week-44 dose was permitted. From weeks 52 through 68, the dose had to be within 25% or 5 mg of baseline, and an increase over the higher of the baseline or week-68 dose was prohibited after week 68. Prednisone could be reduced at the discretion of the investigator. As in the companion phase 3 BLISS-52 trial, the addition of a new biologic agent at any time, an inhibitor of the renin-angiotensin system after 4 months, or a new 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor after 6 months was prohibited; other antihypertensive or lipid-lowering agents were allowed during the study (17 (link)). The Safety of Estrogens in Lupus Erythematosus National Assessment–SLE Disease Activity Index (SELENA-SLEDAI) (18 (link)), Physician’s Global Assessment (PGA) (18 (link)), British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) (19 (link),20 (link)), and SLE Flare Index (SFI) (21 (link)) were evaluated every 4 weeks (except weeks 56 and 64), as were AEs, vital signs, concomitant medications, and laboratory and pregnancy tests.

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute GOLDN study, described in detail in previous publications [9 (link), 10 (link)], was designed to identify genetic determinants of lipid response to treatment with 160 mg of micronized fenofibrate once a day for three weeks. Briefly, Caucasian families with at least 2 siblings were recruited from the genetically homogeneous centers of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Family Heart study in Minneapolis, MN, and Salt Lake City, UT. Participants were asked to discontinue the use of lipid-lowering agents for at least 4 weeks, to fast for at least 8 hours prior to study visits, and to abstain from alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to study visits. The study protocol was approved by Institutional Review Boards at the University of Minnesota, University of Utah, and Tufts University/New England Medical Center.

Between January 2005 and January 2009, 1,055 consecutive patients with acute stroke (i.e., within 7 days after symptom onset) were identified at Soonchunhyang University Hospital. We separated patients according to gender and prospectively analyzed their baseline characteristics, mortality, and functional outcomes at discharge and at 3 months and 1 year after stroke onset. We compared the mean age, time delay from symptom onset to hospital arrival, and risk factors between the genders. The risk factors included past history of hypertension (previous diagnosis, current treatment, or blood pressures of ≥160/95 mmHg in at least two subsequent measurements), diabetes mellitus (previous diagnosis or current treatment with insulin or oral hypoglycemic medications, or a fasting plasma glucose level of ≥126 mg/dL in at least two subsequent measurements), hyperlipidemia (diagnosis or current treatment with lipid-lowering agents, or serum low-density lipoprotein concentration of ≥160 mg/dL), smoking (currently or previously), and potential cardioembolic source.
The existences of previous transient ischemic attack (acute neurological deficit of vascular origin, lasting <24 hours) and stroke (including ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke) were also analyzed. We also investigated compliance with medication for risk factors in those patients with at least one more risk factors. Stroke subtype was classified according to the Trial of Org 10,172 in Acute Stroke Treatment criteria.18 (link)
We analyzed various variables at admission and discharge. At admission, gender differences were assessed in stroke severity according to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and in the use of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA). At discharge, the duration of hospital stay, achievement of anticoagulation for high-risk patients of cardioembolic source, stroke severity, functional outcome on the modified Rankin scale (mRS), and mortality during hospitalization were analyzed. The initial neurologic deficits were categorized using the NIHSS into mild (score ≤7), moderate (score >7 and ≤16), and severe (score >16).
Functional outcome as determined by mRS score and mortality were followed up at 3 months and 1 year after stroke onset in the available survivors. The mRS scores were dichotomized into ≤2 (good functional outcome) and >2 (poor outcome). These assessments were made via telephone or face-to-face interview at outpatient clinic.
Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed with SPSS version 15.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA). Univariate analysis was performed using the χ2 test for dichotomous variables and the t-test for continuous variables. The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Multivariate analysis was carried out with a logistic regression model. Variables with a probability of p<0.1 in univariate analysis were included in the multivariate analysis. The results of the logistic regressions are presented using 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Other data are presented as mean±SD values except where stated otherwise.

Information on potential covariates was collected in 2006 and updated every 2 years thereafter, as detailed elsewhere (11 (link),12 ,16 (link),20 (link)). In brief, information on age, sex, smoking, alcohol intake, salt intake, physical activity, average monthly income, education level, and past self-reported medical history (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, and active treatment such as hypoglycemic agents, antihypertensive agents, lipid-lowering agents, and aspirin) was collected via questionnaire. Assessment of alcohol intake was determined as follows: light drinker, 0.1–0.4 servings/day for women and 0.1–0.9 servings/day for men; moderate drinker, 0.5–1.5 servings/day for women and 1–2 serving/day for men; heavy drinker, >1.5 servings/day for women and >2 serving/day for men; based on 15 g of alcohol per day. Height, weight, and blood pressure were measured by trained field workers (i.e., nurses) during the surveys. BMI was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol (HDL-c), LDL cholesterol (LDL-c), creatinine, and hs-CRP were assessed by auto analyzer (Hitachi 747; Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) at the central laboratory of Kailuan hospital. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine equation (21 (link)).

A case report form was developed to record general characteristics, clinical diagnosis, and biochemical examination. Waist circumference (WC) was measured at the middle point between the costal margin and iliac crest. BMI was calculated as body weight in kilograms divided by body height in meters squared (kg/m2). Smoking habit was categorized as current smoking, ever smoking, or no smoking. Current smoking was determined when subjects were smoking currently and more than one cigarette daily in at least one year continuously. Ever smoking was determined when subjects smoked more than one cigarette daily, but had quitted smoking at least one year before. Drinking habit was categorized as current drinking, ever drinking, or no drinking. Current drinking was determined when subjects were drinking liquor, beer or wine currently in at least one year. Ever drinking was determined when subjects drank previously, but had quitted drinking at least one year before. History of lipid disorders included that plasma total cholesterol was ≥ 5.7 mmol/l, or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was ≥ 3.6 mmol/l, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) < 1.04 mmol/l, triglyceride was ≥ 1.7 mmol/l, or treatment with antihyperlipidemic agents due to hyperlipidemia. Hypertension was diagnosed by systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 140 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 90 mmHg, or being actively treated with anti-hypertension drugs. Diabetes mellitus was diagnosed by a fasting plasma glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/l, or by a random plasma glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/l, or when they were actively receiving therapy using insulin or oral medications for diabetes. Chronic kidney disease was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2.

For each patient, all antidiabetic drugs prescribed during the follow-up were identified. The period covered by an individual prescription was calculated by dividing the total amount of the drug prescribed for the defined daily dose. For overlapping prescriptions, the patient was assumed to have taken all drugs contained in the first prescription before starting the second one. Adherence was measured by the cumulative number of days in which the drug was available divided by the days of the follow-up, i.e. by the proportion of days covered (PDC) by treatment [22 (link)]. We classified patients prescribed more than one antidiabetic drug class as “adherent” if they were covered by at least one drug prescription. Because information on drug therapies dispensed during hospitalization was not available, the exposure to antidiabetic treatment before hospital admission was assumed to be continued for the entire span of the-hospital stay [23 (link)]. Four categories of adherence with antidiabetic drug therapy were considered, i.e. very low (≤ 25%), low (26%-50%), intermediate (51%-75%) and high (> 75%) PDC values. These cut-off values were used because in previous studies on the Lombardy database these adherence levels showed a clear association with mortality among elderly patients in treatment with antihypertensive and lipid-lowering drugs [24 (link), 25 (link)].
