Amarin Corporation plc announced that new data showing the reduction in total major adverse cardiovascular (i.e., ischemic) events shown in the landmark REDUCE-IT™ cardiovascular outcomes trial has been accepted for presentation as late breaking clinical trial data at the American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) 68th Annual Scientific Session on March 18, 2019 in New Orleans, LA. REDUCE-IT1, an 8,179-patient cardiovascular outcomes study, was completed in 2018. REDUCE-IT was the first multinational cardiovascular outcomes study that evaluated the effect of prescription pure EPA therapy, or any triglyceride lowering therapy, as an add-on to statins in patients with high cardiovascular risk who, despite stable statin therapy, had elevated triglyceride levels (135-499 mg/dL). A large portion of the male and female patients enrolled in this outcomes study were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
