About this study

This will be a Phase 1/2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study conducted at a single center for the healthy volunteer cohorts in up to 56 participants. It will consist of 1 single-dose cohort and 3 multiple-dose cohorts (n = 12 per cohort, 10 active:2 placebo). The open-label, hATTR patient cohort portion of the study will be conducted at multiple centers.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

for Healthy Volunteers (Cohorts A, B, C, and E)

  • Females must be non-pregnant and non-lactating, and either surgically sterile or post-menopausal
  • Males must be surgically sterile or, abstinent or, if engaged in sexual relations with a woman of child-bearing potential, the subject or the subject's non-pregnant female partner must be using a highly effective contraceptive method
  • Weight ≥ 50 kg and BMI < 32 kg/m^2

Exclusion criteria

for Healthy Volunteers (Cohorts A, B, C, and E)

  • Clinically-significant (CS) abnormalities in medical history, screening laboratory results, physical or physical examination that would render a subject unsuitable for inclusion including abnormal safety labs
  • Drug or alcohol dependency or abuse
  • Treatment with another investigational drug, biological agent, or device within 1 month of Screening, or 5 half-lives of investigational agent, whichever is longer
  • Blood donation within 28 days
  • Have any other conditions, which, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor would make the subject unsuitable for inclusion, or could interfere with the subject participating in or completing the Study

Inclusion criteria

for hATTR Patients (Cohort D)

  • Aged 18 to 82 years at the time of informed consent
  • Females must be non-pregnant and non-lactating, and either surgically sterile or post-menopausal
  • Males must be surgically sterile or, abstinent or, if engaged in sexual relations with a woman of child-bearing potential, the subject or the subject's non-pregnant female partner must be using a highly effective contraceptive method
  • Diagnosis of hereditary transthyretin-mediated polyneuropathy
  • BMI > 16 kg/m2

Exclusion criteria

for hATTR Patients (Cohort D)

  • Clinically-significant (CS) abnormalities in medical history, screening laboratory results, physical or physical examination that would render a subject unsuitable for inclusion, including but not limited to abnormal safety labs
  • Karnofsky performance status ≤ 50
  • Other causes of sensorimotor or autonomic neuropathy (e.g., autoimmune disease), including uncontrolled diabetes
  • Prior liver transplant or anticipated liver transplant within 1-yr of Screening
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification of ≥ 3
  • Acute coronary syndrome or major surgery within 3 months of Screening
  • Other types of amyloidosis
  • Have any other conditions, which, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor would make the subject unsuitable for inclusion, or could interfere with the subject participating in or completing the Study

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    Time frame: Up to Day 176

    An adverse event (AE) is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not the AE was considered related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An AE was to be regarded as a TEAE if it was present prior to receiving the first dose of study drug and subsequently worsened or was not present prior to receiving the first dose of study drug but subsequently appeared.

  2. Percentage of Participants Using Concomitant Medications

    Time frame: Up to Day 176

    A concomitant therapy was any non-protocol-specified drug or substance (including over-the-counter [OTC] medications, herbal medications, and vitamin supplements) administered between signing of informed consent and the last study visit.

  3. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Laboratory Values

    Time frame: Up to Day 176

    Laboratory parameters included measurement of blood chemistry, hematology, coagulation, complement, or urinalysis parameters for the single-dose and multiple-dose cohorts. Number of participants with clinically significant values in laboratory based on Investigator's assessment are reported. Any value outside the normal range was to be flagged for the attention of the investigator was to assess whether or not a flagged value is of clinical significance.

  4. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Physical Examination Findings

    Time frame: Up to Day 176

    Physical examination included measurement of height and weight for body mass index (BMI) determination. Number of participants with clinically significant findings in physical examination based on Investigator's assessment are reported. Any value outside the normal range was to be flagged for the attention of the investigator was to assess whether or not a flagged value is of clinical significance.

  5. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Electrocardiogram (ECG) Values

    Time frame: Up to Day 176

    ECG measurements included assessment of ventricular rate (VR), PR interval, QR interval, QT interval, QT corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF), and QT corrected using Bazett's formula (QTcB). Number of participants with clinically significant values in electrocardiogram based on Investigator's assessment are reported. Any value outside the normal range was to be flagged for the attention of the investigator was to assess whether or not a flagged value is of clinical significance.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Cmax: Maximum Observed Plasma Drug Concentration of ION-TTR-LRx

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 85

  2. Tmax: Time to Reach the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of ION-TTR-LRx

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 85

  3. AUCt: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Time t for ION-TTR-LRx

    Time frame: From 0 to 672 hours post-dose on Day 85 for Cohorts A, B, and E; 0 hours to extrapolation to infinity post-dose on Day 1 for Cohort C

  4. CL/F: Apparent Total Clearance of ION-TTR-LRx

    Time frame: From 0 to 672 hours post-dose on Day 85 for Cohorts A, B, and E; 0 hours to extrapolation to infinity post-dose on Day 1 for Cohort C

  5. t1/2λz: Termination Half-Life of ION-TTR-LRx

    Time frame: Up to 92 hours; post-dose on Day 85 for Cohorts A, B, and E, and on Day 1 for Cohort C

  6. Ae0-24h: Amount of Administered Dose of ION-TTR-LRx Excreted in Urine Over a 24-Hour Period

    Time frame: From 0 to 24 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 85

  7. Change From Baseline in Plasma Transthyretin (TTR) Levels Following Single and Multiple-dose Administration of ION-TTR-LRx

    Time frame: Baseline, Days 29 and 99

  8. Change From Baseline in Plasma Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) Levels Following Single and Multiple-Dose Administration of ION-TTR-LRx

    Time frame: Baseline, Days 29 and 99

  9. Percent Abundance of ION-682884 Antisense Oligonucleotide (ASO) Species (Metabolite) Following Administration of ION-682884 90 mg

    Time frame: 2 hours post-dose on Day 85

    As prespecified in the protocol, this outcome measure was planned to be analyzed only in the Multiple Dose Cohort B: 90 mg ION-682884.
