Researchers are studying adults with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG) who have completed previous related studies. The main goal is to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of plozasiran, a drug given by injection, in these adults. Participants must meet specific health criteria, including controlled blood sugar levels and prior study completion, to join this open-label phase 3 extension trial. Eligible participants will receive plozasiran injections under the skin about every three months for two years. They will be advised to continue a low-fat diet throughout the study. This study includes adults from various countries who have met all previous study requirements or were prevented from randomization to avoid over-enrollment but still meet eligibility. Special criteria apply for some participants from earlier studies regarding their triglyceride levels and history of pancreatitis. During the study, participants will be monitored for any treatment-related side effects from the first dose through month 24. Researchers will assess safety by tracking adverse events and other health measures. Participants will also be counseled on medication adherence and diet, with ongoing evaluations to ensure their well-being throughout the two-year treatment period.
