New injection aims to tackle high cholesterol in early human trial

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adult participants with dyslipidemia will be enrolled in this study. 2. The absence of clinically significant illness and surgery within 4 weeks prior to study drug administration. 3. Participants must have fasting triglycerides greater than or equal to 150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L) and less than 500 mg/dL (5.7 mmol/L), and LDL-C greater than or equal to 70 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L) at pre-screening and confirmation within 7 days before randomization. 4. Have a body mass index within the range 18.5 to 40.0 kg/m2 (inclusive), with no plans to significantly alter diet or BMI over the course of study. 5. Females of childbearing potential and males who are not surgically sterile (\> 90 days since vasectomy with no viable sperm) will agree to use contraception from Screening until 6 months after the administration, OR females of non-reproductive potential Exclusion Criteria: 1. Positive pregnancy test or lactating female participant. 2. Systolic BP lower than 90 or over 140 mmHg, diastolic BP lower than 40 or over 90 mmHg, HR less than 40 or over 100 bpm at screening. 3. QTcF over 450 ms at screening. 4. Consume more than 7 units for women or 14 units for men of alcohol per week within 8 weeks prior to screening (1 unit = 285 mL of beer 3.5%, 75 mL of wine 13.5%, or 25 mL of distilled alcohol 40%). 5. Participants with established coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, prior stroke, or other clinically significant atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (such as stent placement or heart bypass, unstable angina or last known ejection fraction of \<50%). 6. History of intolerance to SC injection or relevant abdominal scarring (surgical, burns, etc.), or any skin conditions, including infections or open wounds, or dermatitis at the injection site that could interfere with the evaluation of injection reaction. 7. Have taken any prescription medications that are specifically indicated for lowering serum TGs (e.g., fibric acid derivatives, niacin, and omega-3 fatty acids \[\>1 g/day\]) or medications that interfere with absorption of dietary cholesterol or fats (e.g., bile acid sequestrants, orlistat) within 2 months prior to screening. 8. Have received treatment with any liver-targeted siRNA therapy or ASO (Antisense Oligonucleotide) within12 months prior to screening. 9. Use of ANGPTL3 or PCSK9-inhibiting monoclonal antibodies within 90 days prior to screening. 10. Use of systemic glucocorticoid therapy for more than 14 consecutive days in the past year, or any glucocorticoid therapy (excluding topical, intra-ocular, intra-articular, intranasal, or inhaled preparations) within 1 month before screening.
