A Randomized, Open-Label, Phase I, Single-Dose Study of Antisense Oligonucleotide, Vupanorsen, in Chinese Adults with Elevated Triglycerides.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vupanorsen is a GalNAc₃-conjugated antisense oligonucleotide targeting angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) mRNA shown to reduce atherogenic lipoproteins in individuals with dyslipidemia.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to satisfy Chinese regulatory requirements and support ethnic sensitivity assessment by evaluating pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety of vupanorsen in healthy Chinese adults with elevated triglycerides (TG).

Methods

In this phase I, parallel-cohort, open-label study, 18 Chinese adults with elevated fasting TG (≥ 90 mg/dL) were randomized 1:1 to receive a single subcutaneous dose of vupanorsen 80 mg or 160 mg. PK parameters, PD markers (including ANGPTL3, TG, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [non-HDL-C])
