Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percent Change From Baseline in Triglyceride Level at the Final Visit
Baseline and 12 weeks

The percentage change between triglycerides collected at the end of study drug administration (the end of treatment period or discontinuation) relative to Baseline. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model was employed, using the Baseline triglyceride level as covariate and the treatment group as an independent variable.

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
52 Weeks
Number of Participants With TEAEs Associated With Abnormal Changes in Vital Signs
52 Weeks
Number of Participants With TEAEs Associated With Abnormal Changes in Body Weight
52 Weeks
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Findings in Electrocardiogram After Study Drug Administration
52 Weeks

Participants whose results of electrocardiograms were judged as abnormal and clinically significant by investigator after study drug administration were counted in this measure.

Number of Participants With TEAEs Categorized Into Investigations System Organ Class (SOC) Related to Chemistry, Hematology or Urinalysis
52 Weeks

Frequently asked questions about Eicosapentaenoic acid-ethyl

What is Eicosapentaenoic acid-ethyl used for?

Eicosapentaenoic acid-ethyl is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia, a condition characterized by elevated levels of triglycerides in the blood. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

Who makes Eicosapentaenoic acid-ethyl?

Eicosapentaenoic acid-ethyl is being developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, which trades under the ticker symbol TAK. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials for hypertriglyceridemia.

What phase is Eicosapentaenoic acid-ethyl in?

Eicosapentaenoic acid-ethyl is in Phase 3 clinical development for hypertriglyceridemia. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory agencies. Two Phase 3 trials have been completed.

What clinical trials is Eicosapentaenoic acid-ethyl in?

Eicosapentaenoic acid-ethyl has completed two Phase 3 trials: NCT01350973, a study of its efficacy in participants with hypertriglyceridemia, and NCT01350999, a long-term efficacy and safety study. Both trials were randomized, double-blind, and active-controlled, with a combined enrollment of 1,114 participants.

Is Eicosapentaenoic acid-ethyl the same as TAK-085?

Yes, Eicosapentaenoic acid-ethyl is also known as TAK-085. The clinical trials NCT01350973 and NCT01350999 refer to the drug as TAK-085 in their titles, confirming that both names refer to the same investigational treatment for hypertriglyceridemia.
