Inclusion Criteria
  • Males, or nonpregnant (who do not plan to become pregnant) nonlactating females, who are ≥18 years of age at screening
  • Established diagnosis of severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG) and prior documented evidence (medical history) of fasting TG levels of ≥ 500 mg/dL (≥5.65mmol/L)
  • Mean fasting TG level ≥500 mg/dL (≥5.65 mmol/L) collected at 2 separate and consecutive visits at least 7 days apart and no more than 17 days apart during the screening period
  • Fasting low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) ≤130 mg/dL (≤3.37 mmol/L) at screening
  • Screening HbA1C ≤9.0%
  • Willing to follow diet counseling and maintain a stable low-fat diet
  • Must be on standard of care lipid and TG lowering medications per local guidelines (unless documented as intolerant as determined by the Investigator, including an inability to safely administer or re-administer a specific drug because of fear, preference, genetic, clinical, or metabolic considerations, or due to a previous adverse reaction associated with, attributed to, or caused by specific drug)
Exclusion Criteria
  • Use of any hepatocyte-targeted small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) that targets lipids and/or triglycerides within 365 days before Day 1 (except inclisiran, which is permitted). Administration of investigational drug and inclisiran must be separated by at least 4 weeks
  • Use of any other hepatocyte-targeted siRNA or antisense oligonucleotide molecule within 60 days or within 5-half-lives before Day 1 based on plasma pharmacokinetics (PK), whichever is longer
  • Known diagnosis of familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) (type 1 Hyperlipoproteinemia) by documentation of confirmed homozygote or double heterozygote for loss-of-function mutations in type 1-causing genes
  • Acute pancreatitis within 4 weeks prior to screening
  • Body mass index >45kg/m^2
