The drug is being studied for its potential to treat hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypertriglyceridemia, but further clinical trials are needed to establish its safety and effectiveness.

What clinical trials is omefas in?

Omefas has been studied in two completed clinical trials. One trial, NCT01242527, was a Phase 2 study in 399 participants with severe hypertriglyceridemia. Another trial, NCT01431690, was a Phase 1 study in 52 healthy volunteers to assess drug interactions and effects on fatty acid levels. Both trials are completed.

Is omefas the same as Epanova?

Omefas is also known as Epanova, which is the brand name used in clinical trials. The drug has been studied under the name Epanova in trials such as NCT01242527 and NCT01431690. It is being developed by AstraZeneca for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypertriglyceridemia.
