Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates have elevated fasting triglycerides and remnant cholesterol and are willing to adhere to a stable diet and study procedures.

Probably not a fit

Patients with very high triglycerides or liver conditions, uncontrolled thyroid disease, or recent pancreatitis may not benefit.

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, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with two parts. Part A enrolls about 216 adults with moderate triglyceride elevations to receive MAR001 or placebo every 4 weeks in a 3:1 ratio for 24 weeks, followed by safety follow-up. Part B enrolls about 100 adults with higher triglycerides in a 1:1 MAR001 vs placebo design for the same dosing schedule. The study includes screening, 24 weeks of treatment, and a 12-week safety follow-up with visits at Weeks 28 and 36. Primary endpoints focus on changes in triglyceride and remnant cholesterol levels from baseline.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, MAR001 could help lower triglycerides and remnant cholesterol, potentially reducing cardiovascular risk.

How similar studies have gone: This approach builds on prior lipid-lowering strategies; the two-part design and dosing range are based on early signal but remain exploratory for MAR001.
