The evaluation of plozasiran for the treatment of familial chylomicronemia syndrome

In a phase 3 trial of plozasiran, at 10 months, median placebo-adjusted reductions in apo C-III were approximately -90%, while TG levels were reduced up to -59%. Thus, plozasiran and alternative RNA-based therapeutics directed against APOC3 represent transformational therapies for patients with FCS and related phenotypes characterized by severe recalcitrant hypertriglyceridemia.
