64 participants to the phase 2 trial (35 in IONIS-APO(a)Rx and 29 in placebo in June 25, 2014, to Nov 18, 2015). 58 healthy volunteers to the phase 1/2a trial of IONIS-APO(a)-LRx (28 in sd group and 30 in md group in April 15, 2015, to Jan 11, 2016) Adult A: IONIS-APO(a)Rx 100 mg SC, once a week for 4 weeks, 200 mg SC, once a week for 4 weeks, then 300 mg SC, once a week for 4 weeks

There were two serious adverse events (myocardial infarctions) in the IONIS-APO(a)Rx phase 2 trial, one in the IONIS-APO(a)Rx and one in the placebo group, but neither were thought to be treatment related. 12% of injections with IONIS-APO(a)Rx were associated with injection-site reactions. IONIS-APO(a)-LRx was associated with no injection-site reactions.

No SAE. Mild injection site reactions were the most common adverse events. ≥10% of participant in ISIS-APO(a)Rx group got headache and fatigue, no significantly different compared to Placebo.

Further 4 patients discontinued mipomersen during treatment weeks 12e26, again for side effects (1 due to elevations of liver enzymes, the other 3 due to moderate to rather severe injection site reactions (ISR) and flu-like symptoms (FLS)) and were not replaced.
