Severe Hypertriglyceridemia

When you eat, your body converts any calories it doesn’t need to use right away into triglycerides. The triglycerides are stored in your fat cells. Later, hormones release triglycerides for energy between meals. If you regularly eat more calories than you burn, particularly from high-carbohydrate foods, you may have high triglycerides (hypertriglyceridemia). 

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the investigational medication as compared to placebo on the percent change in fasting triglycerides from baseline.
