ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Though statin therapy is known to slow coronary atherosclerosis progression and reduce cardiovascular (CV) events, significant CV risk still remains."3.01Effect of icosapent ethyl on progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with elevated triglycerides on statin therapy: a prospective, placebo-controlled randomized trial (EVAPORATE): interim results. ( Bhatt, DL; Budoff, MJ; Kinninger, A; Lakshmanan, S; Le Pa, VT; May, HT; Muhlestein, JB; Nelson, JR; Roy, SK; Shaikh, K; Shekar, C; Tayek, J, 2021)
"The primary efficacy end point was NAFLD activity score ≤ 3, without worsening of fibrosis; or a decrease in NAFLD activity score by ≥ 2 with contribution from >1 parameter, without worsening of fibrosis, 1 year after the last dose of EPA-E or placebo was given."2.79No significant effects of ethyl-eicosapentanoic acid on histologic features of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in a phase 2 trial.

Trial Outcomes

Alanine Transaminase (ALT) Levels

"Mean change from baseline at month 3 analyzed by Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) in the efficacy evaluable analysis set with treatment group as a factor and baseline ALT as a covariate. Principal comparisons were the response between;~EPA-E 2700 mg and Placebo groups~EPA-E 1800 mg and Placebo groups" (NCT01154985)
Timeframe: 3 month endpoint

InterventionU/L (Least Squares Mean)
Placebo-19.3
EPA-E 1800 mg/Day-3.0
EPA-E 2700 mg/Day2.8

Alanine Transaminase (ALT) Levels

"Mean change from baseline at month 6 analyzed by Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) in the efficacy analysis set with treatment group as a factor and baseline ALT as a covariate. Principal comparisons were the response between;~EPA-E 2700 mg and Placebo groups~EPA-E 1800 mg and Placebo groups" (NCT01154985)
Timeframe: 6 months

InterventionU/L (Mean)
Placebo-19.1
EPA-E 1800 mg/Day-9.5
EPA-E 2700 mg/Day-3.0

Histological Response Defined by Change From Baseline in Standardized Scoring of Liver Biopsies

"Patient is considered a responder if histological examination shows:~Composite NAS of <=3 AND no worsening in Fibrosis OR Improvement in NAS by >=2 across at least 2 of the NAS components AND no worsening in fibrosis~A priori threshold for statistical significance is p<0.05, 1-sided" (NCT01154985)
Timeframe: 12 months
