Effect of AMR101 (Ethyl Icosapentate) on Triglyceride (Tg) Levels in Patients on Statins With High Tg Levels (≥ 200 and < 500 mg/dL) (ANCHOR)

March 28, 2022 updated by: Amarin Pharma Inc.

Evaluation of the Effect of Two Doses of AMR101 (Ethyl Icosapentate) on Fasting Serum Triglyceride Levels in Patients With Persistent High Triglyceride Levels (≥ 200 mg/dL and < 500 mg/dL) Despite Statin Therapy

The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of AMR101 (ethyl icosapentate) compared to placebo in lowering high fasting triglyceride levels in patients with high risk for cardiovascular disease and fasting triglyceride levels ≥ 200 and < 500 mg/dL.
