Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

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)
Up to 113 days

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.

To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of IONIS-APO(a)-LRx (unconjugated and conjugated ASO)
Up to 113 days

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.

To evaluate the plasma pharmacodynamics of IONIS-APO(a)-LRx (Changes in plasma Lp(a) levels)
Up to 113 days

Changes in plasma Lp(a) levels compared to baseline.
