Study Summary

Fenofibrate is one of the best options for treating hypertriglyceridemia. In the majority of patients, fenofibrate lowers triglycerides (TG) by 24-55% and improves HDL- and LDL-cholesterol. However, the response to fenofibrate is highly variable and currently there are no screening tests to identify poor responders. Genetic and environmental factors may explain the high variability in response. Although exploratory in nature, this study is of clinical and public health importance because prediction of drug response among those with hypertriglyceridemia is clinically challenging and fenofibrate prescription costs are large ($90 to $130/patient/month); targeting the responsive patients at the outset will help improve treatment outcomes at a lower cost. If successful, the investigators will propose to conduct a large, randomized trial on the effect of pre-prescription genotyping on fenofibrate response.
