Overview

The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of olezarsen administered by subcutaneous injection to pediatric participants with FCS.

Description

This is a Phase 3 multi-center open-label study to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of olezarsen in pediatric participants (aged 2 to less than (\<)18 years) with FCS. This study consists of three to four periods with the following approximate timeframes: 1-month screening period, 1-year treatment period, an optional 1-year long-term extension treatment period, and a 3-month post-treatment follow-up period.

Eligibility

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Parental or legally authorized representative consent must be obtained, and the participants must provide age-appropriate or cognition-appropriate assent, as determined by the Investigator. The parent or legal guardian must be able to understand and comply with the study visit schedule and all other study procedures.
  2. Must be able to comply with all study procedures.
  3. Age 12 to less than 18 years at the time of informed consent/assent (Cohort 1); age 2 to less than 12 years at time of informed consent/assent (Cohort 2).
  4. Willing to fast for at least 10 hours before visits requiring fasted blood sampling.
  5. A diagnosis of Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (type 1 Hyperlipoproteinemia) by documentation of confirmed homozygote, compound heterozygote or double heterozygote for loss-of-function mutations in type 1-causing genes.
  6. Fasting TGs ≥880 mg/dL at screening. If fasting TG is \< 880 mg/dL, up to two additional tests may be performed during the screening period with any single test used to qualify.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Diabetes mellitus with any of the following:
    1. Newly diagnosed within 12 weeks prior to screening or during the screening period.
    2. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥9.5% at screening.
    3. Change in basal insulin regimen \>20% within 3 months prior to screening or during the screening period.
    4. For participants with type 1 diabetes: episode of diabetic ketoacidosis, or ≥3 episodes of severe hypoglycemia within 6 months prior to screening or during the screening period.
  2. History of bleeding, diathesis, or coagulopathy.
  3. Major surgery within 3 months of screening.
  4. Plasma apheresis within 4 weeks prior to screening or planned during the study.
  5. Treatment with another investigational drug, biological agent, or device within one month of screening, or 5 half-lives of investigational agent, whichever is longer.
  6. Active pancreatitis within 4 weeks prior to screening or during the screening period.
  7. Malignancy diagnosed or treated within 5 years prior to screening or during the screening period.

Note: Other protocol-specified inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.
