Redemplo
Generic name: plozasiran
What is Redemplo?
Redemplo (plozasiran) is a targeted treatment for familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) used to reduce triglyceride levels. FCS is a rare genetic condition that prevents the body from properly breaking down fats, which leads to high triglyceride levels and recurrent episodes of pancreatitis.
Redemplo works by reducing the production of a natural protein called apoC-III, which can cause triglycerides to build up in the blood. By reducing this protein, Redemplo helps the body clear fat particles more easily, leading to healthier triglyceride levels.
Redemplo is an apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III)-directed small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA).
Redemplo is administered as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection) every three months to be used alongside a strict low-fat diet.
Redemplo FDA approval was granted on November 18, 2025, for the treatment of familial chylomicronemia syndrome in adults when used together with a low-fat diet. The FDA approval is based on positive results from the PALISADE study (NCT05089084), where Redemplo significantly reduced triglycerides and lowered the episodes of acute pancreatitis compared to placebo.
At this time, Redemplo is approved only for adults, and its safety and effectiveness in children have not yet been established.
Benefits of Redemplo 25 mg after 10 months in the PALISADE study:
- 80% median reduction of fasting triglyceride levels in Redemplo patients compared to 17% reduction in the placebo group.
- Fewer cases of acute pancreatitis in the Redemplo group.
Important Information
Redemplo should be used alongside a low-fat diet containing less than or equal to 20 grams of fat each day.
