Friday, May 12, 2023

DUBLIN, Ireland and BRIDGEWATER, N.J., May 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ:AMRN) today highlighted new data describing the benefits of VASCEPA®/VAZKEPA® (icosapent ethyl) on coronary physiology, which was published in the European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging, and plaque progression, which was presented at the American Heart Association’s Vascular Discovery 2023 meeting in Boston, MA, May 10-13.

Key Points: 
  • EVAPORATE demonstrated that in statin-treated patients, VASCEPA/VAZKEPA significantly reduced plaque burden measured by serial coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) compared with placebo.
  • VASCEPA/VAZKEPA improved mean distal segment FFRCT at 9- and 18-months follow-up compared with placebo (P = 0.02, P = 0.03 respectively).
  • “These new findings from two different studies provide important mechanistic information about VASCEPA/VAZKEPA and further elucidate its value in reducing cardiovascular events in at-risk patients,” said Nabil Abadir, MB.
  • We are proud to add to the body of research that further demonstrates the benefit of VASCEPA/VAZKEPA."
