Study to Assess the Effects of Mipomersen on Lipid and Lipoprotein Metabolism in Healthy Subjects
United States20 participantsStarted 2011-09
Plain-language summary
The primary objective of this Phase I exploratory study is to determine the effects of mipomersen on the hepatic production of apolipoprotein-B (apo B) in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) compared to baseline levels. The study will consist of a Screening Period, a 1-week Run-in Period to establish a stable diet, an approximate 11-week Treatment Period with Placebo or Mipomersen, and a 25-week Post-Treatment Follow-up Period. The total duration of any given subject's participation will be approximately 40 weeks.

* Body weight \>50 kg, body mass index (BMI) ≤38 kg/m2, and stable weight (i.e., within 5% of mean body weight) for \> 8 weeks prior to Screening
* Fasting TG levels of ≤170 mg/dL, fasting serum blood glucose of ≤115 mg/dL, and an HbA1c ≤6.5%
Exclusion Criteria:

* Malignancy (with the exception of basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin if adequately treated and no recurrence for \>1 year) at Screening
* History of relevant food and/or drug allergies (i.e., allergy to heparin or any significant food allergy that could preclude a stable diet)
* The subject is receiving prescription lipid-lowering therapies such as statins, bile acid sequestrants, niacin/nicotinic acid, and/or fibrates or over-the-counter (OTC) fish oils, flaxseed, red rice or nutrient supplements that might affect lipid levels
