announced today that the number of patients enrolled in the company's REDUCE-IT cardiovascular outcomes study of Vascepa® (icosapent ethyl) capsules has surpassed 6,000.    The REDUCE-IT (Reduction of Cardiovascular Events with EPA - Intervention Trial) study is a multinational, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study taking place at over 400 clinical sites in 11 countries to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Vascepa® (icosapent ethyl) capsules, as an adjunct to optimized statin therapy, in reducing the incidence of first major cardiovascular events in a patient population at high risk for such events. The control arm of the study consists of patients on optimized statin therapy plus placebo. The active arm of the study consists of patients on optimized statin therapy plus Vascepa 4g/day.

Furthermore, Amarin has taken steps to ensure that the final baseline TG levels remain above 200
