 VASCEPA found in prespecified and post hoc analyses to reduce first and total primary endpoints by 26% and 35%, respectively, in patients with prior Myocardial Infarction

Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ:AMRN) today announced that data adding to the growing body of knowledge on VASCEPA®/VAZKEPA (icosapent ethyl) in patients with prior heart attack, known as myocardial infarction (MI), at risk for major adverse cardiovascular events were delivered in a Late Breaking Science Presentation at ESC Congress 2021, organized by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), taking place virtually from August 27 – August 30, 2021.

The presentation titled, “Reduction in Ischemic Events, Including Cardiovascular Mortality, with Icosapent Ethyl in Patients with Prior Myocardial Infarction: REDUCE-IT PRIOR MI,” was presented on behalf of all authors by Deepak L. Bhatt, M.D., M.P.H., Executive Director of Interventional Cardiovascular Programs at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and principal investigator of REDUCE-IT® and is available On-Demand beginning today at 3:00 am ET (9:00 am CEST) through the completion of the Congress.

The Late Breaking Science Presentation included both prespecified and post hoc analyses of patients who had prior MI from the REDUCE-IT study (prior to trial randomization) to determine if treatment with VASCEPA (icosapent ethyl) reduced further ischemic events in those subjects.
