Severe hypertriglyceridemia is a condition characterized by extremely high triglyceride levels, typically exceeding 500 mg/dL, posing serious risks such as pancreatitis and cardiovascular complications. It accounts for a significant share of lipid disorders, with about one-third of U.S. adults exhibiting elevated triglyceride levels. The severe hypertriglyceridemia pipeline analysis by Expert Market Research highlights ongoing advancements in biologics and gene-targeted therapies. Rising awareness, improved diagnostics, and investment in R&D are expected to drive the growth of severe hypertriglyceridemia therapeutics in the coming years.

Severe Hypertriglyceridemia Pipeline Outlook
Severe hypertriglyceridemia is a condition characterized by extremely high levels of triglycerides in the blood, often exceeding 1,000 mg/dL. It occurs due to genetic factors, uncontrolled diabetes, obesity, excessive alcohol intake, or certain medications. This condition can lead to life-threatening complications, such as acute pancreatitis, when not properly managed.
Severe hypertriglyceridemia treatment includes triglyceride-lowering medications, strict dietary fat restrictions, and lifestyle changes. Fibrates, omega-3 fatty acids, and statins are commonly prescribed to reduce triglyceride levels and prevent complications. In December 2024, Olezarsen (Tryngolza), an antisense oligonucleotide, became the first FDA-approved drug for familial chylomicronemia syndrome, significantly lowering triglycerides and reducing pancreatitis risk in affected adults.
Severe Hypertriglyceridemia Epidemiology
Severe hypertriglyceridemia affects approximately 1 in 600 individuals in the United States, with about 2.3 million adults having triglyceride levels ≥500 mg/dL. Its prevalence is higher among men aged 40-60 years and Hispanic populations. Around 70.3% of affected individuals have central obesity, and 29.3% present with multiorgan disease. Compared to those with triglycerides <200 mg/dL, the adjusted prevalence ratio for multiorgan disease is 2.95 in severe cases.

Severe Hypertriglyceridemia – Emerging Drugs Profile
This section covers the detailed analysis of each drug under multiple phases, including phase I, phase II, phase III, phase IV, and emerging drugs for severe hypertriglyceridemia. It includes product description, trial ID, study type, drug class, mode of administration, and recruitment status of severe hypertriglyceridemia drug candidates.
Drug: Olezarsen
Olezarsen is currently being evaluated in a Phase III trial sponsored by Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG). Olezarsen is a ligand-conjugated antisense (LICA) RNA-targeted therapy that inhibits apoC-III production, a key regulator of triglyceride metabolism. This study is assessing the efficacy of subcutaneous Olezarsen versus placebo in reducing fasting triglyceride levels.
Drug: Plozasiran Injection
Plozasiran is being sponsored by Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals for a Phase III study (SHASTA-4) to evaluate its safety and efficacy in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG). The study is assessing whether Plozasiran, an RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic targeting APOC3, can significantly lower triglyceride levels by inhibiting its production and restoring lipid balance.
Drug: DR10624 Injection
DR10624 is a long-acting Fc fusion protein tri-agonist developed by Zhejiang Doer Biologics Co., Ltd. It targets GLP-1R, GCGR, and FGF21R receptors for metabolic improvement. This Phase II study is evaluating its efficacy and safety in treating severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG). The trial is examining how DR10624 reduces fasting serum triglyceride levels over 12 weeks.
