Study of ARO-DIMERPA in Adult Participants With Mixed Hyperlipidemia

January 8, 2026 updated by: Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals

Phase 1/2a, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single and Multiple Dose-escalating Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamic Effects of ARO-DIMERPA in Adult Subjects With Mixed Hyperlipidemia

Study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD), and effects on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides (TGs) of single-dose ARO-DIMERPA and multiple doses of ARO-DIMERPA in adult participants with mixed hyperlipidemia.
