Summary

This program gives adults and adolescents with familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) and adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG) access to an experimental drug called plozasiran. Participants receive injections every 3 months for 15 to 21 months. The goal is to lower dangerously high triglyceride levels that standard treatments haven't controlled.

What this could lead to
