Dyslipidemia, Hypercholesterolemia, Hypertriglyceridemia
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of different doses of CAT-2003 in patients with hyperlipidemia when CAT-2003 is taken for 4 weeks. The study will evaluate effects of CAT-2003 on (1) fasting triglycerides and non-HDL-C in patients with moderate hypertriglyceridemia and (2) fasting LDL-C levels in combination with a statin in patients with hypercholesterolemia who are on a statin.
Interventions
All patients being treated with a stable dose of a statin prior to enrollment continue on their dosing regimen.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Between 18 and 69 years at Screening * Hypertriglyceridemia (TG ≥ 200 mg/dL and \< 500 mg/dL and non-HDL-C ≥ 100 mg/dL and \< 220 mg/dL) OR * Hypercholesterolemia (LDL-C ≥ 100 mg/dL and \< 190 mg/dL and TG value \< 200 mg/dL) plus a stable dose of statin for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening. * Body mass index (BMI) ≤ 45 kg/m2
Exclusion criteria
* History of any major cardiovascular event within 6 months of Screening * Type I diabetes mellitus * Any condition that may predispose the patient to secondary hyperlipidemia, such as uncontrolled hypothyroidism * Any statin at the highest approved dose * Non-statin lipid-altering drugs other than cholesterol absorption inhibitors. * Active peptic ulcer disease or a history of muscle disease or myopathy
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Absolute and percent change from baseline in plasma triglycerides in patients with hypertriglyceridemia | 4 weeks |
| Absolute and percent change from baseline in plasma low density lipoprotein-cholesterol in patients with hypercholesterolemia | 4 weeks |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Absolute and percent change from baseline in plasma non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol | 4 weeks | — |
| Pharmacodynamic effects of CAT-2003 on other lipid biomarkers in patients with hyperlipidemia | 4 weeks | — |
| Frequency of adverse events | 4 weeks | Safety and tolerability will be assessed for all enrolled patients from the time the patient signs the informed consent through post-treatment follow-up. Safety parameters include physical exam, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, ECGs and concomitant medications. |
