New shot every 3 months could stop pancreatitis in people with Sky-High triglycerides
NCT ID NCT06880770
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests a drug called plozasiran in 288 adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia (very high blood fats) who have had at least two pancreatitis attacks. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo every three months. The main goal is to see if the drug can prevent future pancreatitis episodes and lower triglyceride levels.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- plozasiran (a drug injection given every three months)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new way to lower dangerously high fat levels in the blood and reduce the risk of painful pancreatitis attacks.
- What could go wrong
- This is still a clinical trial, so it is not yet proven to work. The study is relatively small (288 people) and results may not apply to everyone. Possible side effects are still being studied.
