Inclusion criteria

. Previous documentation in the patient's medical records of a fasting serum TG measurement ≥ 1000 mg/dL (11.3 mmol/L) on more than 1 occasion, and all fasting TG values ≥500 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) at screening
. History of a hospitalization and diagnosis of acute pancreatitis in the past 10 years
. On stable lipid-modifying diet with or without medications (eg, statins, niacin, omega-3 fatty acids). Lipid-modifying diet and doses of medications should be stable for at least 4 weeks (6 weeks for fibrates, 8 weeks for PCSK9 inhibitors) prior to screening
. Body mass index (BMI) of 18-40 kg/m2

Exclusion criteria

. A hospital or clinic discharge diagnosis of acute pancreatitis within 12 weeks of screening
. Lipid apheresis or plasma exchange treatment within the last 4 weeks or plans to undergo apheresis or plasma exchange during the time frame of the study
. History of class 3/4 heart failure at any time in the past, or hospitalization for heart failure, diagnosis of a myocardial infarction, stroke, Transient ischemic attack (TIA), unstable angina, Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), carotid surgery/stenting within 3 months before the screening visit
. History of bleeding disorders, esophageal varices, heparin induced thrombocytopenia, or contraindications to receiving heparin (eg, allergic reaction to heparin)

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

What they're measuring

Percent Change From Baseline in Fasting Triglycerides (TG) Level Following 12 Weeks of Repeated IV Doses of Evinacumab in Actual Cohort 3 Participants

Timeframe: Participants randomized to evinacumab: Week 0 corresponds to Baseline and 12 weeks treatment corresponds to Week 12 of the DBTP; Participants randomized to placebo: Week 12 corresponds to Baseline and 12 weeks treatment corresponds to Week 24 of the SBTP
