Abstract

Hypertriglyceridemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and remains poorly managed in high-risk individuals despite existing treatments. Olezarsen, a novel antisense oligonucleotide targeting Apo C-III, has shown reduction in triglyceride levels and potentially reducing cardiovascular risk in hypertriglyceridemia patients. To assess the efficacy and safety of Olezarsen in treating hypertriglyceridemia. A comprehensive search was conducted through PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases from inception till July 16, 2024. This review included RCTs involving adults (18–65 years) with moderate to severe hypertriglyceridemia (TAG ≥ 200 mg/dL). The dichotomous outcomes were pooled as risk ratio (RR) and continuous outcomes represented as mean % change from baseline with 95% confidence intervals (CI) using the random-effects model. The I 2 and X 2 statistics were employed to evaluate interstudy heterogeneity. All the calculations were performed using RevMan 5.4 and OpenMeta. A p-value of < 0.05 was indicative of statistical significance. This meta-analysis included 4 RCTs with 202 patients. We found a significant mean % change for -65.38% Apo-CIII levels (95% CI − 75.00 to − 55.55, p = 0.000, I 2 = 99.7%), − 44.64% TAGS (95% CI − 55.635 to − 33.649, p = 0.000, I 2 = 99.53%), −14.81% Apo-B (95% CI − 22.05 to − 7.57, p = 0.000, I 2 = 99.39%), 38.85% HDL (95% CI 27.688 to 50.042, p = 0.000, I 2 = 99.55%), and -8.84% total cholesterol (95% CI − 11.483 to − 6.203, p = 0.000, I 2 = 94.92%) from baseline versus placebo. We found reduced risk of any adverse events (RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.87–1.05, p = 0.34 I 2 = 0%), any serious adverse events (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.44–2.03, p = 0.88, I 2 = 34%) and hypersensitivity reaction (RR 0.65, 95% CI 0.20–2.08, p = 0.47, I 2 = 12%) in Olezarsen group as compared to placebo. Olezarsen is proved to be effective in managing hypertriglyceridemia patients with no significant adverse events. The small sample size and high heterogeneity undermine our findings and more robust studies with larger sample sizes are required to evaluate its full potential.

TL;DR

This systematic review and meta-analysis of 4 RCTs found Olezarsen significantly reduced Apo-CIII, triglycerides, and other lipid parameters versus placebo, with no significant increase in overall adverse events. However, high heterogeneity and small sample size limit confidence in the findings.

Key findings

  • Olezarsen produced significant mean % changes from baseline versus placebo: Apo-CIII −65.38% (95% CI −75.00 to −55.55, p = 0.000, I² = 99.7%), TAG −44.64% (95% CI −55.635 to −33.649, p = 0.000, I² = 99.53%), Apo-B −14.81% (95% CI −22.05 to −7.57, p = 0.000, I² = 99.39%), HDL +38.85% (95% CI 27.688 to 50.042, p = 0.000, I² = 99.55%), and total cholesterol −8.84% (95% CI −11.483 to −6.203, p = 0.000, I² = 94.92%).
  • Additional reported efficacy outcomes included VLDL −47.61% (95% CI −50.57 to −44.65, I² = 89.87%), non-HDL −20.74% (95% CI −25.36 to −16.13, I² = 98.78%), and LDL −2.25% (95% CI −12.649 to 8.146, I² = 98.66%).
  • Patients achieving normal TAG levels (<200 mg/dL) after 6 months were significantly more frequent with Olezarsen: RR 7.90 (95% CI 4.35–14.35, I² = 0%, p < 0.00001).
  • Safety outcomes showed no significant difference for any adverse events (RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.87–1.05, p = 0.34, I² = 0%), any serious adverse events (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.44–2.03, p = 0.88, I² = 34%), or hypersensitivity reaction (RR 0.65, 95% CI 0.20–2.08, p = 0.47, I² = 12%); renal adverse events were significantly reduced with Olezarsen (RR 0.33, 95% CI 0.12–0.90, p = 0.03, I² = 0%).

Methods

  • Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, reported per PRISMA and conducted according to the Cochrane Handbook.
  • Searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane, and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to July 16, 2024; included adults 18–65 years with moderate to severe hypertriglyceridemia (fasting TAG ≥ 200 mg/dL). Four RCTs were included, with 202 vs 172 patients in Olezarsen and placebo groups respectively (the discussion reports 298 total participants).
  • Dichotomous outcomes pooled as risk ratios (RR) and continuous outcomes as mean % change from baseline with 95% CIs using random-effects models; heterogeneity assessed with I² and χ²; analyses performed in RevMan 5.4 and OpenMeta; risk of bias assessed with RoB 2.0.

Limitations

  • Stated by the paper: small sample size of included studies limits reliability and generalizability; high heterogeneity undermines findings; treatment adherence, patient compliance, and cost-effectiveness were not addressed; cardiovascular outcomes, FCS/pancreatitis risk, and long-term side effects of prolonged use were not assessed.
  • Evident from the text: the abstract states “4 RCTs with 202 patients,” while the results and discussion describe 202 vs 172 patients and 298 total participants, indicating inconsistent reporting of the analyzed population.
  • Evident from the text: funnel plots were not used for publication bias because the recommended minimum of 10 studies per outcome was not reached.

Self-check

Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.

  • LDL result is called significant despite a confidence interval crossing zero

    Major

    The reported LDL mean-change confidence interval runs from −12.649% to 8.146%, including zero, yet the result is called significant and assigned P = 0.000. This also conflicts with the claim that all efficacy outcomes were significant.

  • Inconsistent participant totals for the four trials

    Major

    The results describe 202 olezarsen and 172 placebo patients (374 total), whereas the discussion describes 298 participants, including 208 assigned to olezarsen doses and 90 to placebo.

  • Discussion claims low heterogeneity despite high reported I2 values

    Major

    The discussion calls heterogeneity low, whereas the results explicitly call it very high and report efficacy-outcome I2 values ranging from 89.87% to 99.7%.

  • Alexander study year differs across tables

    Minor

    Table 3 dates the included Alexander study to 2019, while Table 2 dates the study with the same citation number to 2024.

  • Apo C-III confidence-interval endpoint differs between abstract and results

    Minor

    For the same −65.38% Apo C-III estimate, the abstract gives an upper confidence limit of −55.55%, while the results give −55.77%.

  • Control-group count differs between tables

    Minor

    Table 1 lists 39 control patients for Bergmark et al., while Table 2 lists 78 for the same study. The tables do not explain why the study's control group doubles.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-19.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-19.

Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
