Overview
Brief Summary
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study to evaluate the safety, including tolerability, of ISIS 703802 and to assess the efficacy of different doses and dosing regimens of ISIS 703802 on glucose and lipid metabolism, and liver fat in participants with hypertriglyceridemia, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percent Change From Baseline in Fasting Triglycerides Level at the Primary Analysis Time Point
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 27 for Cohort A, and Week 25 for Cohorts B and C
An ANCOVA model was performed on the log ratio of Primary Analysis Time Point to Baseline. The estimate of the log ratio was converted back to the original scale and percent change was calculated using formula: = (ratio of Primary Analysis Time Point to Baseline - 1) × 100.
