- Incidence and severity of adverse events that are related to treatment with IONIS-PKK-LRx [ Time Frame: Up to 176 days ]The safety and tolerability of multiple doses of IONIS-PKK-LRx will be assessed by determining the incidence, severity, and dose relationship of adverse events that are related to treatment with IONIS-PKK-LRx.
- Peak plasma Concentration (Cmax) of IONIS-PKK-LRx [ Time Frame: Up to 176 days ]Maximum IONIS-PKK-LRx plasma concentration, Cmax (ug/mL) will be assessed following SC administration
- Time to peak plasma Concentration (Tmax) of IONIS-PKK-LRx [ Time Frame: Up to 176 days ]Time to peak IONIS-PKK-LRx plasma concentration, Tmax (hours) will be assessed following SC administration
- Effects of IONIS-PKK-LRx on plasma PKK concentration [ Time Frame: Up to 176 days ]Effects of IONIS-PKK-LRx on plasma PKK concentration after multiple doses of IONIS-PKK-Lrx compared to baseline
