Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Olezarsen as compared to placebo on the percent change in fasting triglycerides (TG) from baseline.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome Drug: Olezarsen Drug: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This is a multi-center, double-blind, Phase 3 study in up to 60 patients with FCS. Participants will be 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 is approximately 74 weeks, which includes 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 may have the option of enrolling in an open label extension study.

Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • A diagnosis of genetically confirmed Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (type 1 Hyperlipoproteinemia)
  • Fasting TG ≥ 880 mg/dL (10 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) at Screening
  • History of pancreatitis. Patients without a documented history of pancreatitis are also eligible but their enrollment will be capped at 35%

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Acute coronary syndrome within 6 months of Screening
  • Major surgery within 3 months of Screening
  • Have any other conditions, which, in the opinion of the Investigator would make the participant unsuitable for inclusion, or could interfere with participating in or completing the study
