The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of olezarsen on percent change in fasting triglyceride (TG) levels compared to placebo at Months 6 and 12 and the proportion of participants who achieve different thresholds in fasting TG. Other objectives were to evaluate the effect of olezarsen on percent change in fasting apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), remnant cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), HDL-C, total cholesterol (TC), apolipoprotein B (apoB), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and apolipoprotein A-1 (apoA-1).
This was a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in participants with hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides \> 150 milligrams per deciliter \[mg/dL\]) and established or at increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and/or with severe hypertriglyceridemia. The study had an up to 8-week screening period, a 53-week treatment period, and a 13-week post-treatment follow-up period.

Percent Change From Baseline in Fasting TG at Month 6
Baseline was defined as the average of the pre-dose measurement on Day 1 and all non-missing measurements from the qualification period. If the Day 1 pre-dose and qualification period measurements were all missing, then the last non-missing measurement from the screening period was used as baseline. Month 6 was defined as the average of Weeks 25 and 27. If 1 of the 2 assessments was missing, then the non-missing assessment was used. Missing data after the last observed value for participants in the olezarsen arms were imputed using the jump to reference (J2R) approach.

Number of Participants With Adjudicated Acute Pancreatitis Events
All adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) that consistently occurred during the study with an event of acute pancreatitis were adjudicated by a blinded, independent committee according to the Atlanta classification of acute pancreatitis as outlined in the Acute Pancreatitis Adjudication Committee (PAC) Charter. These events were categorized as 1) documented pancreatitis, 2) probable pancreatitis, 3) possible pancreatitis, 4) unable to adjudicate and 5) no diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Number of participants with adjudicated acute pancreatitis events were reported.
Time frame: Up to 12 months
Number of Participants With Adjudicated Acute Pancreatitis Events (≥2 Events in 5 Years Prior to Enrollment)
The adjudicated acute pancreatitis event rates were compared between pooled olezarsen treatment and placebo group using a negative binomial regression model or Poisson regression model with the treatment group and natural log transformed baseline fasting TG as the factors, and number of adjudicated acute pancreatitis events in 5 years prior to enrollment as a covariate. The logarithm of time in year that each participant observed during the treatment period were used as an offset variable. Number of participants with adjudicated acute pancreatitis events with ≥2 events in 5 years prior to enrollment were reported.
Time frame: Up to 12 months
