This will be a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in approximately 152 participants with hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides > 150 milligrams per deciliter [mg/dL]) and established or at increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and/or with severe hypertriglyceridemia. The study will have an up to 8-week screening period, a 53-week treatment period, and a 13-week post-treatment follow-up period.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of olezarsen on percent change in fasting triglyceride (TG) levels compared to placebo at Months 6 and 12 and the percentage of participants who achieve different thresholds in fasting TG. Another objective is to evaluate the effect of olezarsen on percent change in fasting apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), remnant cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), HDL-C, total cholesterol (TC), apolipoprotein B (apoB), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and apolipoprotein A-1 (apoA-1).
