Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - IONIS-FB-LRx
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: IONIS-FB-LRx - Stage 1 participants will receive IONIS-FB-LRx randomized to 1 of 3 dose levels, administered subcutaneously every 4 weeks, completing the treatment period at Week 45. Stage 2 will expand 2 of the dosing cohorts in a new randomized group of participants based on the Stage 1 interim analysis. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 2 of the expanded cohorts, administered subcutaneously every 4 weeks, completing the treatment period at Week 45.

Experimental: Placebo - Stage 1 participants will receive a placebo matching solution, administered subcutaneously every 4 weeks, completing the treatment period at Week 45. Stage 2 participants will receive a placebo matching solution, administered subcutaneously every 4 weeks, completing the treatment period at Week 45.
