RECRUITING Phase 3

Study of Plozasiran in Adults With Severe Hypertriglyceridemia at Risk of Acute Pancreatitis

NCT06880770 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of plozasiran in approximately 288 adult participants with severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG) and history of at least two prior acute pancreatitis (AP) events not attributed to other etiologies, with at least one occurring within the last 12 months prior to screening. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a double-blind manner to either receive plozasiran 25 mg by subcutaneous (SC) injection every three months (Q3M) or matching placebo. Enrolled participants will be counseled to remain on the specified low-fat diet and background medications throughout the study. Following completion of the double-blind treatment period, or if the participant has a positively adjudicated AP event (whichever occurs first), participants will transition to the 12-month Open-Label Extension (OLE) treatment period receiving plozasiran 25 mg by SC injection Q3M.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06880770

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06880770 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 3, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 288 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, which has 11 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Severe Hypertriglyceridemia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Placebo is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06880770 reports 20 study locations spanning 13 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Minas Gerais, California, North Carolina. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
