Evaluation of the Efficacy of Phospholipid-Bound Omega-3 Versus Omega-3 Alone in Patients With Hypertriglyceridemia: A Randomized Clinical Trial (NCT06749028)

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 📋 Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Fundación del Caribe para la Investigación Biomédica

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Hypertriglyceridemia is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce triglyceride levels, and their combination with phospholipids could offer additional benefits in improving lipid profiles and inflammatory markers. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of combining omega-3 with phospholipids compared to omega-3 alone in patients with hypertriglyceridemia. The objective of the clinical trial is to provide robust evidence on the benefits of this combination in improving lipid profiles and reducing inflammation, which could have a significant impact on clinical practices and future dietary recommendations.
