Summary
This is an open-label study to be conducted in adults with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG). Each participant must have completed all required visits per protocol in the parent study AROAPOC3-2003 (USA and Canada participants only; NCT# 05413135), AROAPOC3-3001(Canada and Japan participants only; NCT05089084), AROAPOC3-3003 (NCT06347003), AROAPOC3-3004 (NCT06347016) or AROAPOC3-3009 (Argentina, Italy, South Africa, and Spain; NCT06347133). Subjects who previously met all eligibility requirements for AROAPOC3-3003 or AROAPOC3-3004 and were not permitted to proceed to randomization per the Sponsor's direction in order to prevent excessive over-enrollment may also be enrolled in this trial. The subjects must meet all other applicable eligibility criteria prior to enrollment and have an HbA1c results of \<=10% within 30 days prior to Day 1. Subjects entering this OLE from AROAPOC3-2003 must meet the following additional criteria to be considered for enrollment in addition to applicable eligibility criteria: 1. HbA1c ≤10% within 30 days prior to Day 1 2. Completed AROAPOC3-2001 prior to entry into AROAPOC3-2003 AND fulfill either (c) or (d) 3. Baseline fasting TG level of ≥500 mg/dL and prior history of acute pancreatitis at the time of enrollment into AROAPOC3-2001 4. Baseline fasting TG level of ≥1000 mg/dL at the time of enrollment into AROAPOC3-2001 All eligible participants will receive plozasiran administered subcutaneously (SC) approximately every 3 months for 24 months. Participants will be counseled to remain on the specified low-fat diet throughout the study in accordance with local standard of care.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria12
- Adult males, or nonpregnant (who do not plan to become pregnant), nonlactating adult females, who are able and willing to provide written informed consent prior to the performance of any study-specific procedures
- Completed all required study visits per protocol in the parent study
- Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception during the study and for at least 90 days after the End of Study (EOS) or the last dose of plozasiran, whichever is later. Male subjects must agree to use a condom during the study and for at least 90 days after the EOS or last dose of plozasiran whichever is later. Subjects must not donate sperm or eggs during the study and for at least 90 days after the EOS or last dose of plozasiran, whichever is later. Female subjects of childbearing potential on hormonal contraceptives must be stable on medication for \>1 menstrual cycle prior to Day 1.
- Subjects must be on standard of care lipid and TG-lowering medications per local guidelines (unless documented as intolerant as determined by the Investigator, including an inability to safely administer or re-administer a specific drug because of fear, preference, genetic, clinical, or metabolic considerations, or due to a previous adverse reaction associated with, attributed to, or caused by specific drug)
- If the subject has a medical history of clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or elevated 10-year ASCVD risk (eg, ≥7.5% per American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology \[AHA/ACC\] risk calculator for subjects ≥40 years of age or Framingham risk score calculator for subjects under the age of 40), the subject must be on appropriate lipid-lowering therapy as per local standard of care (ie, including moderate-to-high intensity statin, as indicated).
- If the subject has diabetes:
- Subject must be on optimized antidiabetic regimen as defined by the local standards, Investigator, and institutional practices
- Subject must have no events of diabetic ketoacidosis, diabetic decompensation/ hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic coma, diabetes complications, recurrent infections, or hospitalization related to poor glycemic control within 24 weeks of the Day 1 visit - Willing to follow diet counseling and maintain a stable low-fat diet
- HbA1c ≤10% within 30 days prior to Day 1
- Completed AROAPOC3-2001 prior to entry into AROAPOC3-2003 AND either (c) or (d) below:
- Baseline fasting TG level of ≥500 mg/dL and prior history of acute pancreatitis at the time of enrollment into AROAPOC3-2001
- Baseline fasting TG level of ≥1000 mg/dL at the time of enrollment into AROAPOC3-2001
Exclusion Criteria13
- Subject was permanently discontinued from receiving plozasiran in the parent study due to elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or due to HbA1c elevation that did not respond to antidiabetic regimen
- Subject withdrew consent for continued study treatment in the parent study
- Known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients of plozasiran
- Known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients of plozasiran
- Any new condition or worsening of existing condition or any other situation that in the Investigator's judgment, would make the subject unsuitable for enrollment, could interfere with the subject participating in or completing the study, would make it difficult to comply with protocol requirements, or put the subject at an additional safety risk
- Unwilling to limit alcohol consumption to within moderate limits for the duration of the study.
- Poorly controlled glycemia (ie, HbA1c \>10%) based upon the most recent HbA1c level reported in the parent trial prior to Day 1
- Acute pancreatitis within 4 weeks prior to Day 1
- Use of any hepatocyte-targeted siRNA that targets lipids and/or triglycerides within 365 days before Day 1 (except plozasiran or inclisiran, which are permitted). Administration of inclisiran must be separated from administration of plozasiran by at least 4 weeks throughout the treatment period
- Use of any other hepatocyte targeted siRNA or antisense oligonucleotide molecule within 60 days or within 5 half-lives before Day 1 based on plasma PK, whichever is longer.
- Use of an investigational agent (other than plozasiran) or device within 30 days or within 5 half-lives, based on plasma PK, whichever is longer, prior to Day 1 (V1) or current participation in an interventional investigational study.
- Recent unstable or symptomatic cardiac arrhythmia (including any associated medication changes) within 90 days prior to Day 1. Individuals with stable well-controlled atrial arrhythmias will be allowed to participate in the study.
- Uncontrolled hypertension (ie, seated systolic blood pressure \>160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \>100 mmHg) at Day 1; subject may be re-evaluated when hypertension is controlled.
