Phase 2b Study of MAR001 Compared to Placebo in Adults With Elevated Triglycerides and Remnant Cholesterol

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effect of MAR001 compared to a placebo in adults with elevated triglycerides TG and remnant cholesterol RC. This Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to understand how MAR001 influences TG levels in participants with these conditions. The study includes two parts with different participant groups based on their baseline TG levels. Participants are assigned randomly to receive either MAR001 or placebo through subcutaneous injections every 4 weeks. Part A includes about 216 participants with baseline TG between 150 to 880 mgdL, treated with three different doses of MAR001 or placebo at a 31 ratio. Part B enrolls around 100 participants with baseline TG between 450 and 2000 mgdL, using the dose selected from Part A data, assigned at a 11 ratio. The study timeline consists of up to 8 weeks of screening, a 24-week treatment period, and a 12-week safety follow-up with clinic visits at weeks 28 and 36. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including blood tests and clinical evaluations to monitor TG and RC levels and safety outcomes. The primary outcome is measured at 12 weeks, with additional secondary outcomes assessed at various time points. Participants adherence to stable diet and medication regimens is monitored. The total participation duration extends through the screening, treatment, and follow-up periods, with safety monitored until study completion.
