Study of Plozasiran (ARO-APOC3) in Adults With Severe Hypertriglyceridemia

clipboard-pencil

About the study

This Phase 3 study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of plozasiran injection (ARO-APOC3) in adult participants with severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG). After providing informed consent eligible participants will be randomized to receive 4 doses (once every 3 months) of plozasiran or placebo, and be evaluated for efficacy and safety. After month 12, eligible participants will be offered an opportunity to continue in an optional open-label extension under a separate protocol.

  2. * Mean fasting TG level ≥500 mg/dL (≥5.65 mmol/L) collected at 2 separate and consecutive visits at least 7 days apart and no more than 17 days apart during the screening period
  3. * Fasting low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) ≤130 mg/dL (≤3.37 mmol/L) at screening
  4. * Screening HbA1C ≤8.5%
  5. * Willing to follow diet counseling and maintain a stable low-fat diet

  2. * Use of any other hepatocyte-targeted siRNA or antisense oligonucleotide molecule within 60 days or within 5-half-lives before Day 1 based on plasma pharmacokinetics (PK), whichever is longer
  3. * Known diagnosis of familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) (type 1 Hyperlipoproteinemia) by documentation of confirmed homozygote or double heterozygote for loss-of-function mutations in type 1-causing genes
