Study summary

This is a treatment program for the use of plozasiran in adults (AROAPOC3-EAP-002) and adolescents (AROAPOC3-EAP-003) with familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) as well as in adults (AROAPOC3-EAP-004) with high risk severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG).

The program will enroll eligible patients ≥ 15 years of age, with fasting triglycerides (TGs) ≥ 880 mg/dL (≥ 10 mmol/L) that is not adequately controlled with standard lipid-lowering therapy, and with a diagnosis of FCS. Patients will receive 25 mg of plozasiran by subcutaneous (sc) injection on Day 1 and every 3 months for a total of 5 injections. The duration of the program is 15 months.

The program will also enroll eligible patients ≥18 years of age, with fasting TGs > 880 mg/dL (> 9.94 mmol/L), or fasting TGs > 500 mg/dL plus a history of acute pancreatitis, that are not adequately controlled with standard lipid-lowering therapy, and with a diagnosis of high risk SHTG. SHTG patients will receive 25 mg of plozasiran by sc injection on Day 1 and every 3 months for a total of 7 injections. The duration of the program is 21 months.

Eligibility criteria

FCS Inclusion Criteria:

  • ≥ 15 years of age
  • Fasting TG levels ≥ 880 mg/dL that are not sufficiently controlled on standard lipid-lowering therapy
  • Established diagnosis of FCS based on documented history of fasting TG levels in excess of 1000 mg/dL on repeated testing (for at least 3 prior occasions), and at least 1 of the following: a supportive genetic test, documented history of recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis not caused by alcohol or cholelithiasis, documented history of recurrent hospitalizations for severe abdominal pain without other explainable cause, documented history of childhood pancreatitis, family history of hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis
  • Willing to follow dietary counseling based on local standard of care, consistent with an intake of ≤ 20 g of fat per day
  • If on medications for management of type 2 diabetes the dosing regimen must be stable.
  • Participants of must agree to use a highly effective form of in addition to a male condom during the program and for at least 90 days after the last dose of plozasiran

SHTG Inclusion Criteria:

  • Established diagnosis of high risk SHTG and documented evidence (medical history) of either: fasting triglycerides (TG) ≥ 880 mg/dL OR fasting TG levels of ≥ 500 mg/dL AND history of recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis not caused by alcohol or cholelithiasis

  • If the participant has a medical history of clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or an elevated 10-year ASCVD risk, the participant must be on appropriate lipid-lowering therapy as per local standard of care prior to collection of qualifying TG levels
  • Females of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective form of contraception and males must agree to use a condom during the program and for at least 90 days after the last dose of plozasiran

FCS Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diabetes mellitus with any of the following at Day 1: newly diagnosed within the past 24 weeks, HbA1c ≥ 9.0% within the past 4 weeks, meaningful medical events relating to poor glycemic control, changes in basal insulin regimen of more than =/- 10 units within 12 weeks if insulin-dependent
  • Clinical evidence of primary hypothyroidism, primary subclinical hypothyroidism, or secondary hypothyroidism
  • History of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy
  • Current diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome
  • Eligible to receive any commercially available FDA-approved therapeutic for treatment of FCS unless proven to be ineffective or judged inappropriate by the treating physician
  • History of acute coronary syndrome events (adults with FCS only)
  • Class III or IV heart failure or last known of \<30% (adults with FCS only)
  • History of stroke, , or peripheral artery disease within 24 weeks of first dose (adults with FCS only)

SHTG Exclusion Criteria:

  • Eligible for approved Redemplo®.
  • Untreated or inadequately treated hypothyroidism or hypothyroidism

Note: Additional inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply per protocol

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
