Exclusion criteria

for All Cohorts: * Known history or positive test for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis C (HCV), or Hepatitis B (HBV) * Treatment with another Study Drug, biological agent, or device within one-month or 5-half-lives of screening * Regular use of alcohol within 6 months of screening * Use of concomitant drugs unless authorized by the Sponsor Medical Monitor * Known contraindication and/or allergy to heparin * Smoking \> 10 cigarettes a day * Considered unsuitable for inclusion by the Principal Investigator

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx (incidence, severity, and dose-relationship of adverse effects and changes in the laboratory parameters)Up to Day 127The safety and tolerability of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx will be assessed by determining the incidence, severity, and dose-relationship of adverse effects and changes in the laboratory parameters by dose. Safety results in subjects dosed with IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx will be compared with those from subjects dosed with placebo.
Pharmacokinetics after single and multiple doses of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx.Up to Day 127The plasma pharmacokinetics (concentration-time results) of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx (unconjugated and conjugated ASO) will be assessed following single and multiple-dose SC administration. The amount of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx excreted in urine at selected 24-hour intervals will also be determined.
Pharmacodynamics of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx (Changes in serum ANGPTL3 levels)Up to Day 127Changes in serum angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) levels compared to baseline.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pharmacodynamic effects of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRxUp to Day 127Effects of IONIS ANGPTL3-LRx on changes in ANGPTL3 plasma protein compared to baseline.
