Hyperlipidemias Dyslipidemias Elevated Lp(a) | Drug: SLN360 Drug: Placebo | Phase 1 |
This first-in-human (FIH) study will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of SLN360 after single ascending s.c. doses and multiple doses in healthy male and female subjects.
Up to 9 cohorts of 88 patients with elevated Lp(a) will be enrolled. Each patient will receive single or multiple doses of SLN360 or placebo given by subcutaneous (s.c) injection.

- Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events [ Time Frame: Day 150 ]safety and tolerability will be reported separately following single-dose administration.
- Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events [ Time Frame: Day 201 ]safety and tolerability will be reported separately following multiple-dose administration.
- Pharmacokinetic: peak plasma concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: Day 150 and Day 201 ]safety and tolerability will be reported separately following single-dose and multiple-dose administration.
- Pharmacokinetic: area under the plasma concentration (AUC) [ Time Frame: Day 150 and Day 201 ]safety and tolerability will be reported separately following single-dose and multiple-dose administration.

Inclusion criteria:
- Elevated plasma Lp(a) ≥ 150nmol/L.
- All subjects must agree to adhere to appropriate contraception requirements.
- Subjects must provide written informed consent and be able to comply with all study requirements.
- Body mass index of ≥ 18 kg/m2 and ≤ 45 kg/m2.
- For the MD part: confirmed history of stable atherosclerortic cardiovascular disease.
Exclusion criteria:
- Single Ascending Dose only: any history of clinically overt cardiovascular disease, defined as acute coronary syndromes, myocardial infarction, stable angina, coronary or other revascularization, ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack and atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease.
- Multiple Dose only: recent history of acute cardiovascular disease events within 6 months of screening (including, but not limited to, acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, acute stroke and acute limb ischemia).
- Moderate or severe hepatic cirrhosis with Child-Pugh grade B or C, or other current or previous liver disease.
- Active serious mental illness or psychiatric disorder, including but not limited to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression requiring current pharmacological intervention.
- Any conditions which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for enrolment in the study or could interfere with the subject's participation in, or completion of the study.
- Subjects with previous or current use of medication or therapies significantly affecting Lp(a) level or hormone replacement therapy, unless on a stable dose for ≥ 8 weeks prior to screening
- History or clinical evidence of alcohol or illegal drug misuse within the 6 months before screening.
- History of multiple drug allergies or history of allergic reaction to an oligonucleotide or GalNAc, or intolerance to s.c. injections.
