Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals is conducting a Phase 3 clinical study titled ‘Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Plozasiran in Adults With Severe Hypertriglyceridemia at High Risk of Acute Pancreatitis (SHASTA-5 Study).’ The primary objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of plozasiran in reducing the risk of acute pancreatitis in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia, a condition characterized by extremely high levels of triglycerides in the blood, which can lead to pancreatitis.
The intervention being tested is plozasiran, administered as a subcutaneous injection every three months. Plozasiran is designed to lower triglyceride levels in patients, potentially reducing the risk of pancreatitis.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a parallel intervention model. Participants, care providers, investigators, and outcomes assessors are blinded to the treatment assignments. The primary purpose of the study is treatment-focused.
The study began on March 12, 2025, with the last update submitted on September 3, 2025. These dates are crucial as they indicate the study’s progression and the latest developments.
The successful outcome of this study could positively impact Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals’ stock performance by demonstrating the potential of plozasiran in treating severe hypertriglyceridemia, a market with significant unmet needs. This could enhance investor sentiment and position Arrowhead favorably against competitors in the biopharmaceutical industry.
The study is currently ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
