PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 3, 2024-- Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARWR) today announced topline results from the pivotal Phase 3 PALISADE study of investigational plozasiran in patients with genetically confirmed or clinically diagnosed familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS), a severe genetic disease with significant unmet need and no FDA approved therapies. PALISADE successfully met the primary endpoint of lowering triglycerides and met all key secondary endpoints, including reducing the incidence of acute pancreatitis compared to placebo.
“The strong results from the Phase 3 PALISADE study, evaluating plozasiran in patients with FCS, significantly build upon the promising results from the Phase 2 SHASTA-2 and MUIR studies in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia and mixed hyperlipidemia, recently published in JAMA Cardiology and the New England Journal of Medicine. These findings highlight the potential of plozasiran as a promising therapy for patients with various cardiometabolic disorders,” said Bruce Given, M.D., chief medical scientist at Arrowhead. “We look forward to discussing results at our June 25th Cardiometabolic event as part of our 2024 Summer Series of R&D Webinars and presenting the full PALISADE data at upcoming medical conferences.” READ MORE...
