Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Rate of lipoprotein apheresis sessions performed over 52 weeks normalized to the weekly lipoprotein apheresis schedule
Over 52 Weeks

Demonstrate superiority of pelacarsen (TQJ230) compared to placebo in reducing the rate of lipoprotein apheresis sessions in patients with hyperlipoproteinemia(a) and established CVD during 52 weeks of treatment

Secondary Endpoints

At least 24 weeks up to Week 52
Total avoidance of lipoprotein apheresis from week 12 to week 52
Week 12 to Week 52
Change from baseline to week 52 in the log-transformed Lp(a) (measured prior to planned lipoprotein apheresis)
