About
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.
Full description
This is a Phase 3, multi-center, placebo-controlled study in approximately 1475 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.
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.

Inclusion criteria
Participants must fall into 1 of the following groups (a or b):
a. Hypertriglyceridemia with fasting TG ≥200 mg/dL (2.26 millimoles per liter [mmol/L]) and <500 mg/dL (5.65 mmol/L) with either
Clinical diagnosis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or
At increased risk for ASCVD
b. Severe hypertriglyceridemia with fasting TG ≥500 mg/dL (5.65 mmol/L)
Participants should be on standard of care (SOC) lipid-lowering medications per local guidelines. Lipid-lowering medications should be optimized and stabilized for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening to minimize changes in these medications during the study.
