Berberol® P (manufacturer: PharmExtracta S.p.A.): Dietary supplement containing Berberine Phytosome® and Pycrinil®. Participants receive either 1 tablet daily after dinner or 2 tablets daily (1 after breakfast and 1 after dinner) for 12 weeks, according to the assigned treatment arm.
Berberol® K (manufacturer: PharmExtracta S.p.A.): Dietary supplement containing Berberine Phytosome® and monacolins from fermented red yeast rice. Participants receive 1 tablet daily after dinner for 12 weeks.
This randomized, controlled, multicentre clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Berberol® P compared with Berberol® K in adults with mild-to-moderate hypercholesterolaemia.
A total of 255 participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive Berberol® P 1 tablet daily, Berberol® P 2 tablets daily, or Berberol® K 1 tablet daily for 12 weeks. The study will primarily assess whether Berberol® P is non-inferior to Berberol® K in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Changes in other lipid parameters, glucose metabolism, anthropometric measures, blood pressure, and safety will also be evaluated.
