Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome | Drug: Olezarsen | Phase 3 |
This is a Phase 3, multi-center, open-label safety study of up to 30 participants with FCS, previously treated with volanesorsen. The study consists of 3 periods: 1) Screening Period: Week -8 to Week -1 (up to 8 weeks); 2) Treatment Period up to Week 157; and 3) Post-Treatment Follow-up Period: Week 158 to Week 170 (12 weeks). Participants enrolled will receive olezarsen every 4 weeks during the 157-week Treatment Period.
This study was extended to allow participants to receive olezarsen for an additional 104 weeks following the initial 53-week treatment period.

Inclusion Criteria
-
Participants with FCS (clinical or genetic diagnosis) currently on or previously treated with volanesorsen (ISIS 304801)
o Study participants in countries where Waylivra® is commercially approved and available for participants should not be deprived of the treatment option with Waylivra®. Participation in this study for such participants will only be allowed when Waylivra® was discontinued due to AEs
-
The following concomitant medications will be allowed if dosing regimen is expected to remain constant through the end of the study (occasional or intermittent use of over-the-counter (OTC) medications will be allowed at Investigator's discretion):
- Statins, omega-3 fatty acids (prescription and OTC), fibrates, or other lipid-lowering medications. Participants taking OTC omega-3 fatty acids should make every effort to remain on the same brand through the end of the study
- Antidiabetic medications
- Oral anticoagulants (e.g., dabigatran, rivaroxaban, or apixaban, and warfarin with regular clinical monitoring)
- Tamoxifen, estrogens or progestins
Exclusion Criteria:
- Treatment with another investigational drug (non-oligonucleotide), biological agent, or device within 4 weeks of Screening, or 5 half-lives of investigational agent, whichever is longer
-
Concomitant medication/procedure restrictions:
- Systemic corticosteroids or anabolic steroids within 6 weeks prior to Screening and during the study unless approved by the Sponsor Medical Monitor
- Plasma apheresis within 4 weeks prior to Screening or planned during the study
