Serum lipidemic profile evaluated at 6 months

Study Overview

Brief Summary

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of FaseMETS for 6 consecutive months in lowering serum lipids and glucose in subjects with Metabolic Syndrome;

The secondary objectives of the trial are:

  • to evaluate the potential benefit after 3 months of therapy (by an interim analysis)
  • to evaluate the safety of FaseMETS

Detailed Description

The trial is designed as a multicenter, open label, non-comparative, 6 months, pilot study.

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of FaseMetS ® administered for 6 months treatment combined with a health management plan in reducing the serum lipidemic profile (this includes total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, small density LDL particles, triglycerides, serum glucose, glycated haemoglobin (HBA1c), insulin, and pro-insulin, HOMA index, uric acid, body mass index (BMI), creatine phosphokinase) in patients diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome and with mild to moderate Hypercholesterolemia.

The secondary objectives are:

  • to evaluate the efficacy in reducing the serum lipidemic profile after a period of 3 months of FaseMetS ® ® treatment;
  • to evaluate the safety of FaseMetS ® treatment by recording AE/SAE (with particular regards for gastrointestinal symptoms);
  • improvement of blood clinical laboratory parameters;
  • improvement of weight control systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure control
