Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Identified the efficacy of Antroquinonol (Hocena 50mg) in triglyceride, lipid-lowering and fatty liver.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

The primary efficacy objective is to demonstrate the reduction of triglyceride (TG) by Antroquinonol, in comparison with placebo, after 12 weeks of treatment in patients with hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia. Secondary objectives include the evaluation of the effects of Antroquinonol in comparison with placebo on other lipid parameters after 12 weeks of treatment and the effects of Antroquinonol on left ventricular diastolic function, arterial stiffness and fatty liver. The safety and tolerability of Antroquinonol will be monitored as well.
