Amarin 's (NASDAQ:AMRN) partner, EddingPharm, has received regulatory approval for VASCEPA® (icosapent ethyl) from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for cardiovascular risk reduction. VASCEPA will now be used alongside statin therapy to reduce cardiovascular events in adults with elevated triglycerides (≥150 mg/dL) and other high-risk factors. EddingPharm is preparing for the National Reimbursement Drug Listing (NRDL) to enhance commercial launch across Mainland China. This approval is significant given China's high cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden, with 330 million patients and CVD accounting for up to 47% of deaths. VASCEPA's inclusion in the NRDL could ensure widespread access and reimbursement. Additionally, Amarin will receive a $15 million milestone payment and tiered double-digit royalties on net sales in China. However, EddingPharm must conduct a post-approval study to further validate VASCEPA's efficacy.
