Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of IONIS-APO(a)-LRx (incidence, severity, and dose-relationship of adverse effects and changes in the laboratory parameters)
The safety and tolerability of IONIS-APO(a)-LRx will be assessed by determining the incidence, severity, and dose-relationship of adverse effects and changes in the laboratory parameters by dose. Safety results in subjects dosed with IONIS-APO(a)-LRx will be compared with those from subjects dosed with placebo.
Up to 113 days
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of IONIS-APO(a)-LRx (unconjugated and conjugated ASO)
The plasma pharmacokinetics of IONIS-APO(a)-LRx (unconjugated and conjugated ASO) will be assessed following single and multiple-dose SC administration. The amount of ISIS-APO(a)-LRx excreted in urine at selected 24-hour intervals will also be determined.
Up to 113 days
To evaluate the plasma pharmacodynamics of IONIS-APO(a)-LRx (Changes in plasma Lp(a) levels)
Changes in plasma Lp(a) levels compared to baseline.
Up to 113 days
Secondary Outcomes (8)
