Atherosclerosis
Conditions
Brief summary
Atherosclerosis vaccine, V6, has been through two small-scale Phase II open label clinical trials. It has shown significant improvement in lipid profile in patients with overweight or obesity
Detailed description
The proposed study will evaluate daily dose of one V6 pill administered for one month in placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind phase 3 trial in men and women with baseline waist diameter over 90 and 80 cm respectively. The effect of V6 will be assessed by changes in lipid profile, i.e., LDL, HDL, TG and TC; anthropomorphic indices, i.e., circumference of waist, mid-arm, and hips; arterial blood pressure and fasting glucose levels at baseline versus post-treatment timepoint.
Interventions
Atherosclerosis vaccine, V6, formulated as an oral pill made from from pooled antigens derived from adipose tissue
Half of the patients will be randomly assigned to receive placebo pill

Study design
Masking description
Double-blind study in two groups of patients assigned randomly into experimental and placebo arms
Intervention model description
Group on experimental drug compared against group receiving placebo in randomized, blinded phase III study to evaluate effect on lipid profile, i.e., LDL, HDL, triglycerides and total cholesterol
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Baseline waist diameter over 90 and 80 cm for men and women, respectively
Exclusion criteria
