Abstract

Background

in the liver.

Methods

We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging phase 2b trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of zodasiran in adults with mixed hyperlipidemia (fasting triglyceride level of 150 to 499 mg per deciliter and either an LDL cholesterol level of ≥70 mg per deciliter or a non-HDL cholesterol level of ≥100 mg per deciliter). Eligible patients were randomly assigned in a 3:1 ratio to receive subcutaneous injections of zodasiran (50, 100, or 200 mg) or placebo on day 1 and week 12 and were followed through week 36. The primary end point was the percent change in the triglyceride level from baseline to week 24.
