Treatment and study plan

IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx

Drug

Other names: ISIS 703802

Placebo

Drug

0.9%NaCl, water, riboflavin

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx (incidence, severity, and dose-relationship of adverse effects and changes in the laboratory parameters)

    Time frame: Up to Day 127

    The safety and tolerability of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx will be assessed by determining the incidence, severity, and dose-relationship of adverse effects and changes in the laboratory parameters by dose. Safety results in subjects dosed with IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx will be compared with those from subjects dosed with placebo.

  2. Pharmacokinetics after single and multiple doses of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx.

    Time frame: Up to Day 127

    The plasma pharmacokinetics (concentration-time results) of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx (unconjugated and conjugated ASO) will be assessed following single and multiple-dose SC administration. The amount of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx excreted in urine at selected 24-hour intervals will also be determined.

  3. Pharmacodynamics of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx (Changes in serum ANGPTL3 levels)

    Time frame: Up to Day 127

    Changes in serum angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) levels compared to baseline.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pharmacodynamic effects of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx

    Time frame: Up to Day 127

    Effects of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx on changes in ANGPTL3 plasma protein compared to baseline.
