Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Fasting and postprandial plasma triglycerides | baseline and 3 weeks after initiation of each dose level (a test meal will be served at baseline and on Day 21 of treatment) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Blood concentration to characterize LCQ908 kinetics | serial blood samples will be collected from all patients enrolled in the study on Day 21 of treatment with each dose |
| Different blood lipid biomarkers (such as phospholipids, apolipoproteins, and free fatty acids) | after 3 weeks of treatment with each dose |
