Amarin recently published data from their REDUCE-IT cardiovascular outcomes trial. Their EPA medicine, Vascepa, showed a 25% relative risk reduction compared to placebo. EPA is an omega-3 fatty acid that previously showed a 19% relative risk reduction in cardiovascular outcomes in a Japanese study (JELIS, 2007). Amarin saw a hazard ratio of 0.75 in their primary endpoint, which evaluated cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, coronary revascularization, and unstable angina. In this video, I go through two critiques of the study: 1) Lack of mechanistic insight 2) Mineral oil use in the placebo group I believe Vascepa is likely to get FDA approval for the indication of reducing cardiovascular disease in patients with over 150mg/dl Triglycerides on statin therapy. This is not investment advice, do your own due diligence.
