Multiple Upcoming Milestones Regarding VASCEPA® Opportunity in United States and Internationally
Management to Host Conference Call Today at 7:30 a.m. ET
DUBLIN, Ireland and BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Aug. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ:AMRN), today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and provided an update on company operations.
Key Amarin achievements since its last quarterly report include:
- Maintaining favorable revenue progress amid COVID-19 challenges: Reported
$135.3 million in net total revenue in Q2 2020, an increase of34% over Q2 2019, resulting in H1 2020 net total revenue of$290.3 million , an increase of67% over H1 2019. - Progressing VASCEPA® development in Europe towards expected approval in early 2021: Continued to support review of VASCEPA by the European Medicines Agency in anticipation of expected approval of VASCEPA for commercial sale in Europe in early 2021 while advancing commercial plans for VASCEPA reimbursement and related commercial launch in Europe.
- Decision made on commercialization in Europe: As announced separately today, Amarin plans to maximize the blockbuster potential of VASCEPA in Europe through its own dedicated European commercial organization. Amarin’s plan retains for shareholders substantially all of the economic upside to participate in the multi-billion-dollar cardiovascular risk reduction market in Europe while preserving strategic optionality and enabling later partnering of VASCEPA in smaller countries in Europe. To help execute on this European strategy Amarin appointed industry veteran, Mr. Karim Mikhail, as senior vice president, commercial head Europe. As detailed in today’s separate press release, Mr. Mikhail has extensive cardiovascular and international experience and a track-record of success to rely on in building multi-billion-dollar brands.
- Results of VASCEPA clinical trial in China nearing reporting: VASCEPA clinical trial results on-track to be reported by Amarin’s partner in China before end of 2020.
- Patent appeal progressing: Substantive briefing completed with two supporting amicus briefs submitted and September 2, 2020 hearing date scheduled in Amarin’s appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit of the March 30, 2020 adverse district court decision on patents covering the first FDA-approved indication for VASCEPA.
- Strong cash and investments balance: As of June 30, 2020, Amarin reported total cash and investments of
$611.3 million with its only debt remaining to be paid being a maximum of$23.0 million on its royalty-like instrument.
“The second quarter of 2020 was a challenging but productive quarter for Amarin. Despite headwinds brought on by the adverse patent judgment and the onset of COVID-19 related societal restrictions at the end of the first quarter, the Amarin team continues to be productive with an increasingly positive outlook. We recently resumed a substantial level of in-person interactions with healthcare professionals in various geographies to build on the January launch of VASCEPA for its new and differentiated cardiovascular risk reduction indication. Amarin’s employees are working diligently to succeed driven by our mission to bring the promise of VASCEPA to millions of cardiovascular disease patients in need in the United States and internationally,” stated John F. Thero, president and chief executive officer, Amarin.
Prescription Growth
Normalized prescriptions for VASCEPA (prescription of 120 grams of VASCEPA representing a one-month supply) increased by approximately
VASCEPA revenue and prescription growth in Q2 2020 were adversely impacted by actions taken to slow the spread of COVID-19 infections. Due to various state and local shelter in place and other travel restrictions, reports from IQVIA indicated that patient visits to medical offices in April were down approximately
Per IQVIA data, patient visits to physicians increased in June compared to the lows of April indicating encouraging signs of recovery. However, per data from IQVIA for the week ending July 3, 2020, patient visits to physicians remained approximately
In June, Amarin initiated a phased redeployment of sales representatives in a manner consistent with federal, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and state and local regulations. Amarin’s redeployment expanded in July although not all healthcare professionals will currently allow sales representatives into their offices, particularly in some of the densely populated areas including New York City and Los Angeles where VASCEPA is best known, and historically most highly prescribed. Amarin intends to remain flexible and responsible in its promotion of VASCEPA while seeking effective ways to ensure that prescribers and at-risk patients are increasingly aware of the demonstrated positive efficacy and safety of VASCEPA.
Increasing Promotion in the United States
As society begins to emerge from COVID-19 restrictions, albeit partially and inconsistently, Amarin views the need for VASCEPA to be greater than ever. Cardiovascular disease is among the most significant underlying conditions that could lead to less favorable outcomes in patients infected by COVID-19. Therefore, patients’ need for preventative cardiovascular care is greater than ever. Amarin is confident that its branded commercial launch activities, medical education, and other efforts will help patients and healthcare providers understand the value of VASCEPA for cardiovascular protection in appropriate patients.
Amarin’s launch of VASCEPA for its new cardiovascular risk reduction indication remains in its infancy. Based on a recent survey of approximately 300 randomly sampled cardiologists, endocrinologists and primary care physicians, unaided awareness of VASCEPA for cardiovascular risk was just
To augment Amarin’s ongoing activities to educate healthcare professionals and in parallel with our sales team getting back into the field, in mid-July Amarin began to launch its first ever direct-to-consumer campaign for VASCEPA focused on the use of VASCEPA for cardiovascular risk reduction in indicated patients. The campaign focuses on persistent cardiovascular risk and the benefit of VASCEPA to reduce risk of a heart attack or stroke by
International Update
In Europe, EMA review of Amarin’s application remains active. Based on the pace of the review, Amarin anticipates the timing of completion of EMA’s review to support early 2021 European Community approval of VASCEPA for marketing and sale in Europe. Amarin is rapidly preparing for the commercial launch of VASCEPA in Europe with an emphasis on pursuing reasonable reimbursement for VASCEPA on a country-by-country basis. Amarin is confident that it has the resources to be successful in launching VASCEPA in Europe without having to share a significant portion of the economics from such launch with a commercial partner, except perhaps in certain of the smaller countries of Europe. Notably, the physician targets to be educated about VASCEPA in Europe tend to be more concentrated than in the United States as high-risk patients in Europe are more likely to be treated by a specialist. Therefore, targeting European physicians for education should be a more efficient process than in the United States where primary care physicians continue to manage most statin-treated patients. While Amarin has been preparing for an extended period of time for certain aspects of commercializing VASCEPA in Europe, Amarin recently began to expand its commercialization team for Europe including hiring an experienced head of commercialization for Europe with a core group of other key hires anticipated to be added before the end of 2020.
In Canada, Amarin’s partner appears to have had early success in getting VASCEPA recommended for reimbursement for a significant patient population, patients with established cardiovascular disease consistent with VASCEPA’s approved label, and aims to pursue further expansion of such reimbursement to other at-risk patient groups over time. VASCEPA was launched in Canada in February 2020. Receiving a positive reimbursement recommendation this quickly is a credit to Amarin’s partner and to the demonstrated clinical effectiveness of VASCEPA.
In China, results of the study of VASCEPA in treating patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia (TG >500 mg/dL) is anticipated to be reported by Amarin’s partner before the end of 2020. Based on the results of this study, Amarin and its partner in China will evaluate how to best proceed toward regulatory approval of VASCEPA in China.
ANDA Update
Substantive legal briefs have been filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Amarin’s appeal of the previously announced district court’s decision in favor of two filers of abbreviated new drug applications, or ANDAs, for Amarin’s VASCEPA capsules in the United States based on the MARINE indication. The oral hearing date for this appeal is September 2, 2020. More information regarding this appeal can be found in this FAQ on the Amarin website.
Amarin believes strongly that the lower court judgment was seriously flawed and that it has strong arguments on appeal that could result in a victory for Amarin. If generic companies ultimately succeed at this effort, Amarin anticipates that for an extended period of time a significant portion of the icosapent ethyl market may remain branded due to potential supply volume constraints for high quality, generic versions of VASCEPA. At this time, Amarin is increasing promotion of VASCEPA with the expectation that Amarin will benefit from such promotion under these conditions with or without the launch of generic VASCEPA.

Use of Non-GAAP Adjusted Financial Information
Included in this press release are non-GAAP adjusted financial information as defined by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to each non-GAAP adjusted financial measure used or discussed, and a reconciliation of the differences between each non-GAAP adjusted financial measure and the comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in this press release after the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) was derived by taking GAAP net income (loss) and adjusting it for non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Management uses these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for internal reporting and forecasting purposes, when publicly providing its business outlook, to evaluate the company’s performance and to evaluate and compensate the company’s executives. The company has provided these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to GAAP financial results because it believes that these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures provide investors with a better understanding of the company’s historical results from its core business operations.
While management believes that these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying performance of the company’s business operations, investors are reminded to consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, it should be noted that these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, and management may utilize other measures to illustrate performance in the future.

About Cardiovascular Risk
The number of deaths in the United States attributed to cardiovascular disease continues to rise. There are 605,000 new and 200,000 recurrent heart attacks per year (approximately 1 every 40 seconds), in the United States. Stroke rates are 795,000 per year (approximately 1 every 40 seconds), accounting for 1 of every 19 U.S. deaths. Cardiovascular disease results in 859,000 deaths per year in the United States.2 In aggregate, this is more than 2.4 million major adverse cardiovascular events per year from cardiovascular disease or, on average, one every 13 seconds in the United States alone.
Controlling bad cholesterol, also known as LDL-C, is one way to reduce a patient’s risk for cardiovascular events, such as heart attack, stroke or death. However, even with the achievement of target LDL-C levels, millions of patients still have significant and persistent risk of cardiovascular events, especially those patients with elevated triglycerides. Statin therapy has been shown to control LDL-C, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular events by 25
About REDUCE-IT
REDUCE-IT was a global cardiovascular outcomes study designed to evaluate the effect of VASCEPA in adult patients with LDL-C controlled to between 41-100 mg/dL (median baseline 75 mg/dL) by statin therapy and various cardiovascular risk factors including persistent elevated triglycerides between 135-499 mg/dL (median baseline 216 mg/dL) and either established cardiovascular disease (secondary prevention cohort) or diabetes mellitus and at least one other cardiovascular risk factor (primary prevention cohort).
REDUCE-IT, conducted over seven years and completed in 2018, followed 8,179 patients at over 400 clinical sites in 11 countries with the largest number of sites located within the United States. REDUCE-IT was conducted based on a special protocol assessment agreement with FDA. The design of the REDUCE-IT study was published in March 2017 in Clinical Cardiology.7 The primary results of REDUCE-IT were published in The New England Journal of Medicine in November 2018.8 The total events results of REDUCE-IT were published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in March 2019.9 These and other publications can be found in the R&D section on the company’s website at www.amarincorp.com.
About VASCEPA® (icosapent ethyl) Capsules
VASCEPA (icosapent ethyl) capsules are the first-and-only prescription treatment approved by the FDA comprised solely of the active ingredient, icosapent ethyl (IPE), a unique form of eicosapentaenoic acid. VASCEPA was initially launched in the United States in 2013 based on the drug’s initial FDA-approved indication for use as an adjunct therapy to diet to reduce triglyceride levels in adult patients with severe (≥500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. Since launch, VASCEPA has been prescribed over eight million times. VASCEPA is covered by most major medical insurance plans. The new, cardiovascular risk indication for VASCEPA was approved by the FDA in December 2019.
Indications and Limitation of Use
VASCEPA is indicated:
- As an adjunct to maximally tolerated statin therapy to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary revascularization and unstable angina requiring hospitalization in adult patients with elevated triglyceride (TG) levels (≥ 150 mg/dL) and
- established cardiovascular disease or
- diabetes mellitus and two or more additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
- established cardiovascular disease or
- As an adjunct to diet to reduce TG levels in adult patients with severe (≥ 500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia.
The effect of VASCEPA on the risk for pancreatitis in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia has not been determined.
Important Safety Information
- VASCEPA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylactic reaction) to VASCEPA or any of its components.
- VASCEPA was associated with an increased risk (
3% vs2% ) of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter requiring hospitalization in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The incidence of atrial fibrillation was greater in patients with a previous history of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. - It is not known whether patients with allergies to fish and/or shellfish are at an increased risk of an allergic reaction to VASCEPA. Patients with such allergies should discontinue VASCEPA if any reactions occur.
- VASCEPA was associated with an increased risk (
12% vs10% ) of bleeding in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The incidence of bleeding was greater in patients receiving concomitant antithrombotic medications, such as aspirin, clopidogrel or warfarin. - Common adverse reactions in the cardiovascular outcomes trial (incidence ≥
3% and ≥1% more frequent than placebo): musculoskeletal pain (4% vs3% ), peripheral edema (7% vs5% ), constipation (5% vs4% ), gout (4% vs3% ), and atrial fibrillation (5% vs4% ). - Common adverse reactions in the hypertriglyceridemia trials (incidence >
1% more frequent than placebo): arthralgia (2% vs1% ) and oropharyngeal pain (1% vs0.3% ). - Adverse events may be reported by calling 1-855-VASCEPA or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
- Patients receiving VASCEPA and concomitant anticoagulants and/or anti-platelet agents should be monitored for bleeding.
Key clinical effects of VASCEPA on major adverse cardiovascular events are included in the Clinical Studies section of the prescribing information for VASCEPA, as set forth below:
