An ANCOVA model was performed on the log ratio of Lp(a) value at the Primary Analysis Time Point to Lp(a) value at Baseline. The estimate of the log ratio was converted back to the original scale and percent change was calculated using formula: = (ratio of Lp(a) value at the Primary Analysis Time Point to Lp(a) value at Baseline - 1) × 100.
An adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the study or use of investigational drug product, whether or not the AE was considered related to the investigational drug product. TEAEs was defined as any AE with onset after the first administration of study medication through the end of the study, or any event that was present at baseline but worsened in intensity or was subsequently considered drug-related by the Investigator through the end of the study.

TEAEs was defined as any AE with onset after the first administration of study medication through the end of the study, or any event that was present at baseline but worsened in intensity or was subsequently considered drug-related by the Investigator through the end of the study. The severity of TEAEs was assessed based on the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. TEAEs were graded on a 5-point scale where 1 = Mild, 2 = Moderate, 3 = Severe, 4 = Potentially life-threatening and 5 = Death.

Pelacarsen is an investigational RNA therapy developed by Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ticker: IONS). It is an antisense inhibitor designed to target LPA. The drug is in Phase 1 clinical development. Its therapeutic indications are currently undisclosed.
Pelacarsen targets LPA. It is an antisense inhibitor, a type of RNA therapy that binds to LPA RNA to reduce production of the corresponding protein. This mechanism is intended to lower Lp(a) levels, though the specific indication for pelacarsen has not been disclosed.
Pelacarsen is being developed by Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker IONS. Ionis is the sponsor of the clinical program for pelacarsen.
Pelacarsen is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has completed one Phase 1 trial and has no active trials at this time. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.
Pelacarsen has been studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT05337878, titled "A Study to Assess Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Pelacarsen (ISIS 681257) in Healthy Japanese Participants." The trial enrolled 29 healthy volunteers in the United States and was randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled.
Yes, Pelacarsen is also known as ISIS 681257. The Phase 1 trial NCT05337878 refers to the drug by both names. Both names refer to the same investigational antisense inhibitor targeting LPA.
