What this Trial Is About
This is an open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation Phase I clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD), and pharmacokinetics (PK) of CS-121, an in vivo base editing therapy delivered by lipid nanoparticles targeting APOC3, in adult participants (18-55 years) with familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS).

Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Male or female aged 18 to 55 years (inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent.
- On regular standard therapy with good compliance, but fasting triglyceride (TG) levels have not been consistently reduced below 10 mmol/L (880 mg/dL); i.e., before screening, there must be records of at least three separate fasting TG values >10 mmol/L (880 mg/dL), or the participant is intolerant to standard therapy.
- North American Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (NAFCS) score ≥45.
- Able to sign informed consent and comply with the requirements and restrictions specified in the informed consent form and the protocol, such as dietary guidance and intake restrictions.
- Female participants must meet one of the following: be not of childbearing potential (e.g., documented hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy/sterilization, or ≥1 year postmenopausal); or, if of childbearing potential, have a negative pregnancy test at screening and be willing to use strict and effective contraception (e.g., abstinence, pharmacologic, or barrier methods) during the study.
- Male participants with reproductive potential must agree to use strict and effective contraception (e.g., abstinence, pharmacologic, or barrier methods) throughout the entire post-dose observation period; males without reproductive potential must provide supporting medical history (e.g., post-vasectomy).
You will not qualify if you...
- Currently participating in another interventional clinical study, or last use of another investigational product with a washout period of less than 5 half-lives or 30 days (whichever is longer).
- Use of APOC3-targeted antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) or siRNA lipid-lowering agents within 6 months prior to dosing.
- History of acute pancreatitis within 3 months before dosing.
- History of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) within 6 months before dosing, such as myocardial infarction or unstable angina, or prior coronary revascularization (e.g., coronary artery bypass grafting, angioplasty, or stent implantation).
- In the investigator's judgment, receipt of major surgery within 3 months before dosing that would make the participant unsuitable for this study drug or unable to tolerate possible cytokine-release events.
- Any of the following laboratory abnormalities at screening: ALT or AST ≥3 × ULN; Total bilirubin ≥1.5 × ULN; eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m²; Random urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) >30 mg/g; LDL-C >130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L); HbA1c ≥9%.
- Coagulation abnormalities deemed by the investigator to make CS-121 administration unsuitable.
- Positive at screening for HBsAg, HCV antibody and RNA, HIV, or Treponema pallidum (syphilis).
- Known major organ disease, psychiatric disorders, Cushing's syndrome, or malignancy that, in the investigator's judgment, would make the participant unsuitable for the study or unable to tolerate possible cytokine-release-like events.
- Concomitant medications or treatments judged by the investigator to affect lipid metabolism, hepatic or renal function, or coagulation, or to interfere with the evaluation of study drug efficacy, including but not limited to: systemic glucocorticoids, anabolic steroids, antiretroviral agents used within 4 weeks prior to dosing, plasma exchange, blood donation, or blood loss >200 mL.
- Planning pregnancy, currently pregnant, or breastfeeding.
