Overview
This study is researching an experimental drug called ALN-APOC3 (called "study drug"). The study is focused on participants who have dyslipidemia (abnormal amounts of fats in the blood, including triglycerides and cholesterol), but who are otherwise healthy.
The aim of the study is to see how safe and effective the study drug is.
The study is looking at several other research questions, including:
- What side effects may happen from taking the study drug
- How much study drug is in the blood at different times
- How the study drug changes lipid levels in the blood
Description
The study will be conducted in 2 parts, Part A and Part B. Participants in Part A will be excluded from participating in Part B.
Eligibility
Key Inclusion Criteria:

- Fasting triglycerides concentrations ≥100 and <500 mg/dL (1.13 to 5.65 mmol/L)

- Fasting LDL-C ≥70 (1.81 mmol/L) if on stable statin therapy OR if not on statin treatment, as defined in the protocol
Key Exclusion Criteria:
