Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male and female adults aged 18 to 75 years.
  • Fasting plasma levels of TG ≥ 2.28 and \<10 mmol/L (200 and 877 mg/dL) on two occasions within 2 weeks (screening and pre-randomization visits).
  • Patients who are currently not on pharmacotherapy for hyperlipidemia and according to the judgement of the physician and Canadian Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Dyslipidemia initiation of drug therapy is not indicated for the duration of the study.
  • Patients currently treated with statins and according to the judgement of the physician and the Canadian Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Dyslipidemia a change in their current drug regimen is not indicated for the duration of the study.
  • Patients treated with statin must be on stable dose for at least 6 weeks prior to screening.
  • Patients are willing follow the NCEP Step 1 Diet (see Appendix 4) for the duration of the study.
  • Female participants of childbearing potential (i.e. not surgically sterilized or post-menopausal greater than one year) must have negative serum pregnancy test and must be using an effective birth control method, defined as:
  • continuous use of oral or long acting injected contraceptive for at least 2 months prior to study entry, or;
  • use of an intra-uterine device or implantable contraceptive, or;
  • use of double barrier methods of birth control
  • Patients are at least 80% compliant with the study medication during the placebo lead in phase.

You may not qualify if:

  • Any concomitant medication which in the opinion of the investigator would preclude the patient from successfully participating in the study.
  • Women who are pregnant or that are breast feeding.
  • Participation in another clinical trial within 30 days from initiation of the study.
  • Participants with a high risk for cardiovascular disease; (The definition of high-risk individuals will follow that of the 2009 Canadian Guidelines and include a) FRS \>= 20% 10-year risk; b) All patients with uncontrolled diabetes (DCA guidelines) and c) Evidence of atherosclerosis -when this evidence was ascertained when clinically indicated);
  • Systolic blood pressure \>140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \>90 mmHg. In diabetic patients, systolic blood pressure \> 130 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \> 90 mmHg.
  • History of stroke, intermittent claudication or transient ischemic attack.
  • Known unstable (uncontrolled) cardiac disease , within the last 6 months.
  • Patient with a clinically significant abnormal ECG at screening.
  • Patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, with HbA1c \> 7.0%.
  • Known diagnosis of hypoglycemia.
  • Evidence of active renal disease indicated by a fasting estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of \< 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2.
  • Increased plasma levels (\>ULN) of amylase (as per respective lab upper limits) and / or lipase (\>160 IU/L) or any indication of pancreatitis pancreatitis (increased alcohol consumption, gallstones).
  • History of pancreatitis.
  • Use of any lipid lowering medication other than statins or ezetimibe(e.g niacin, fibrates) and/or lipid lowering NHP within 6 weeks prior to the screening visit.
  • Intake of \> 2 servings per week of fish or regimented use of fish oil/omega-3 supplements within 6 weeks prior to the screening visit.
