Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with elevated fasting triglycerides who can maintain a stable diet and medication regimen, meet screening labs including HbA1c 5.7–8.5%, and are able to attend the Chula Vista site are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with active liver disease, uncontrolled HIV, type 1 diabetes or recent diabetic ketoacidosis, or those using diabetes drugs other than metformin are unlikely to benefit or be eligible for this protocol.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 2 mechanistic interventional trial comparing MAR001 with placebo to measure changes in postprandial triglycerides in adults who have elevated fasting triglycerides. Eligible participants must have two fasting triglyceride measurements at screening, an HbA1c between 5.7% and 8.5%, and stable diet and medication regimens. Key exclusions include acute or chronic liver disease, uncontrolled HIV, active viral hepatitis, type 1 diabetes, recent diabetic ketoacidosis, and use of diabetes medications other than metformin. The study is conducted at a single Marea Therapeutics site in Chula Vista, California, and focuses on laboratory measures of triglycerides and remnant cholesterol following a standardized challenge.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, MAR001 could lower post-meal triglyceride and remnant cholesterol levels and potentially reduce cardiovascular risk in people with high triglycerides.

How similar studies have gone: While lowering triglycerides and remnant cholesterol has been achieved with agents like fibrates and high-dose omega-3s, MAR001 is a novel agent with limited published human data to date.
