The purpose of AROAPOC3-3001 is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ARO-APOC3 (plozasiran) in adult participants with familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS). Participants who have met all eligibility criteria will be randomized to receive 4 doses of plozasiran or matching placebo administered subcutaneously. Participants who complete the randomized period will continue in a 2-year open-label extension period where all participants will receive plozasiran.
Phase 3 trials are pivotal studies with large patient populations (hundreds to thousands) designed to prove efficacy and safety for FDA submission. A successful Phase 3 readout is typically the last major hurdle before a New Drug Application (NDA) or BLA filing.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals (ARWR) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company D (36/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
