- Safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx (incidence, severity, and dose-relationship of adverse effects and changes in the laboratory parameters) [ Time Frame: Up to Day 127 ]The safety and tolerability of IONIS ANGPTL3-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 ANGPTL3-LRx will be compared with those from subjects dosed with placebo.
- Pharmacokinetics after single and multiple doses of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx. [ Time Frame: Up to Day 127 ]The plasma pharmacokinetics (concentration-time results) of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx (unconjugated and conjugated ASO) will be assessed following single and multiple-dose SC administration. The amount of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx excreted in urine at selected 24-hour intervals will also be determined.
- Pharmacodynamics of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx (Changes in serum ANGPTL3 levels) [ Time Frame: Up to Day 127 ]Changes in serum angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) levels compared to baseline.
- Pharmacodynamic effects of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx [ Time Frame: Up to Day 127 ]Effects of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx on changes in ANGPTL3 plasma protein compared to baseline.
