Study summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of multiple doses of CAT-2003 in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia either naive or refractory to current therapy. The study will evaluate effects of CAT-2003 on fasting and postprandial total triglycerides and chylomicron triglyceride levels in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia.

This is a single-blind study. All patients will receive placebo for a 14 day treatment period and CAT-2003 for a 28 day treatment period.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percent change from baseline in fasting triglycerides in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia

    Time frame: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Frequency of adverse events

    Safety will be assessed for all enrolled patients from the time the patient signs the informed consent through post-treatment follow-up. Safety parameters include physical exam, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, ECGs and concomitant medications.

    Time frame: 4 weeks

  2. Absolute and percent change from baseline on postprandial total and chylomicron triglyceride levels

    Time frame: 4 weeks
