Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The hypothesis of this study is that DCCR is effective as both monotherapy and in combination with a statin in lowering triglycerides in subjects with very high triglycerides

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Very high triglyceride is a risk for pancreatitis. Studies have shown Diazoxide Choline has the potential to effectively lower triglycerides in patients with very high triglycerides.
