Frequently asked questions about AMR101

What is AMR101 used for?

AMR101 is an investigational small molecule being developed for cardiovascular diseases and hypertriglyceridemia. It is studied in patients with high triglyceride levels, including those on statins with levels between 200 and 500 mg/dL, and those with fasting levels between 500 and 2000 mg/dL. It is also evaluated for reducing cardiovascular events in high-risk patients.

Who makes AMR101?

AMR101 is developed by Amarin Corporation plc, a biopharmaceutical company. The company's stock ticker is AMRN. Amarin is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's efficacy and safety in treating hypertriglyceridemia and cardiovascular diseases.

What phase is AMR101 in?

AMR101 is in Phase 3 clinical development. All three trials listed are Phase 3 and have been completed. The drug is investigational and not yet approved, as it is still undergoing clinical evaluation for its intended indications.

What clinical trials is AMR101 in?

AMR101 has completed three Phase 3 trials. NCT01047501 studied its effect on triglycerides in patients on statins with high levels. NCT01047683 evaluated efficacy and safety in patients with very high triglycerides. NCT01492361 assessed its ability to reduce cardiovascular events in high-risk patients with hypertriglyceridemia on statins.

What is AMR101's mechanism of action?

AMR101 is a small molecule, but its specific molecular target is not disclosed. The drug is being studied for its effects on triglyceride levels and cardiovascular outcomes, but the exact mechanism of action has not been detailed in the available information.

Is AMR101 the same as ethyl icosapentate?

AMR101 is also known as ethyl icosapentate, as indicated in the clinical trial titles. It is a purified form of eicosapentaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. The trials refer to it as AMR101 or ethyl icosapentate, confirming they are the same compound.
