About this study
Official title: A Phase 2 Open-Label Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of ARO-APOC3 in Adults With Dyslipidemia
This is an open-label extension of the parent studies AROAPOC3-2001 and AROAPOC3-2002. Adult participants with dyslipidemia who completed the blinded 12-month period from either parent study and continued to meet eligibility criteria had the option to be enrolled into this study. Eligible enrolled participants initially received open-label ARO-APOC3 every three or six months at the assigned dose level of the parent study until a final dose of 25 mg was selected, at which point all participants transitioned to the selected dosing regimen of 25 mg every 3 months.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.

Adult participants with dyslipidemia who completed the blinded 12-month period from either parent study and continued to meet eligibility criteria had the option to be enrolled into this study. Eligible enrolled participants initially received open-label ARO-APOC3 every three or six months at the assigned dose level of the parent study until a final dose of 25 mg was selected, at which point all participants transitioned to the selected dosing regimen of 25 mg every 3 months.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing ARO-APOC3 in people with Dyslipidemias, run by Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals at 60 sites in 7 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 60 sites in United States, Australia, Hungary, Poland, Canada and 2 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Through 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05413135, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 May 2026.
