The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of olezarsen on percent change in fasting triglyceride (TG) levels compared to placebo in participants with hypertriglyceridemia and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, or with severe hypertriglyceridemia.
A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 3 Study of Olezarsen (ISIS 678354) in Patients With Hypertriglyceridemia and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (Established or at Increased Risk for), or With Severe Hypertriglyceridemia
This is a Phase 3, multi-center, placebo-controlled study of up to 1312 participants with hypertriglyceridemia and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The study consists of 3 periods: 1) Screening Period: Week -12 to Week -1 (up to 12 weeks); 2) Treatment Period up to Week 53; and 3) Post-Treatment Follow-up Period: Week 54 to Week 66 (13 weeks). Participants enrolled will receive olezarsen or placebo once every 4 weeks during the 53-week Treatment Period.
The Screening Period was extended with no impact to overall study timelines. Endpoints added to provide assessment on the pancreatitis rate after olezarsen reaches steady state levels.
A coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) sub study will be performed to assess whether triglyceride lowering through inhibition of apoC-III protein synthesis may reduce coronary plaque progression.
