Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of olezarsen as compared to placebo on the percent change in fasting triglycerides (TG) from baseline.

Detailed Description

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

This was a multi-center, double-blind, Phase 3 study in up to 60 patients with FCS. Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive Olezarsen or matching placebo in a 53-week treatment period. The length of participation in the study was approximately 74 weeks, which included an up to 8-week screening period, a 53-week treatment period, and a 13-week post-treatment evaluation period. Following the treatment period, eligible patients had the option to enroll in the Open-label Extension (OLE) Study ISIS 678354-CS13 (NCT05130450).
