A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Volanesorsen on Cardiac Repolarization Conducted in Healthy Volunteers

A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Four-Period Crossover, Study to Evaluate the Effect of Volanesorsen on the QTc Interval Using a Therapeutic and Supra-Therapeutic Dose Compared With Placebo in Healthy Volunteers: a Thorough QT Study

The primary objective of this study is to assess the corrected QT interval (QTc) effect of volanesorsen (ISIS 304801) administered as a 300 mg subcutaneous (SC) therapeutic and a 300 mg intravenous (IV; 2-hour infusion) supra-therapeutic dose relative to placebo in healthy adult male and female subjects.
