Effect of Vupanorsen on Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels in Statin-Treated Patients With Elevated Cholesterol: TRANSLATE-TIMI 70.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Genetic loss-of-function variants in ANGPTL3 are associated with lower levels of plasma lipids. Vupanorsen is a hepatically targeted antisense oligonucleotide that inhibits Angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) protein synthesis.

Methods

Adults with non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) ≥100 mg/dL and triglycerides 150 to 500 mg/dL on statin therapy were randomized in a double-blind fashion to placebo or 1 of 7 vupanorsen dose regimens (80, 120, or 160 mg SC every 4 weeks, or 60, 80, 120, or 160 mg SC every 2 weeks). The primary end point was placebo-adjusted percentage change from baseline in non-HDL-C at 24 weeks. Secondary end points included placebo-adjusted percentage changes from baseline in triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (L
