Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ISIS-APO(a)Rx given to participants with high lipoprotein(a) for 12 weeks.


Clinical Trial Description

Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a genetic variant of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in which the apolipoprotein B (apoB) -100 component of LDL is linked by a disulfide bond to apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)], the distinct protein component of Lp(a) that is mainly responsible for its signature structural and functional properties. Lp(a) is now recognized as an important genetic risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and aortic stenosis.

The purpose of this study is to determine if ISIS-APO(a)Rx can reduce the production of apolipoprotein(a), or apo(a). This study will enroll 50 participants with Lipoprotein(a) ≥50 and <175 mg/dL and 10 participants with Lipoprotein(a) ≥175 mg/dL. ;
