Abstract
The PALISADE trial extended the data available for inhibition of apolipoprotein (apo) C3 inhibition for treating severe hypertriglyceridemia.1 75 patients with persistent chylomicronemia were allocated to 2 doses of plozasiran or placebo. Triglycerides were reduced by a net 53%-58%, and a borderline significant 17% reduction was seen in pancreatitis events. These results offer potential treatments for familial or multifactorial chylomicronemia syndromes.
