The 1,612 Events to Meet Criteria for 90% Power to Detect a 15% Relative Reduction in MACE Risk

Completion of the REDUCE-IT study does not require reaching exactly 1,612 MACE, and the actual number of events is likely to differ from this study design target. The powering assumptions for the study were based on 1,612 MACE with 90% power to demonstrate a 15% relative risk reduction. A final cumulative MACE tally from the inception date of the study which is slightly above or below 1,612 MACE will not have a significant impact on the overall powering of the study results.

Top-line Results from REDUCE-IT Study Expected in Q3 2018

The estimated onset of the targeted number of cardiovascular events in REDUCE-IT is based on documented events having exceeded 90% of target as reported in January 2018, subsequently reported MACE in the adjudication process, and projected events based on standard industry methodology. Amarin anticipates that MACE from the study will be adjudicated through Q2 2018, consistent with the Company’s objective of reporting top-line results from this important study before the end of Q3 2018.

Amarin is Nearing Conclusion of this Potentially Landmark Cardiovascular Outcomes Study

Commenting on the announcement, Dr. Steven Ketchum, President of R&D and Chief Scientific Officer of Amarin, stated that the Company is happy to be nearing the conclusion of this potentially landmark cardiovascular outcomes study.

Dr. Steven added that the Company will work diligently to rapidly roll-up and report the results of the study in the hope that such results can lead to the better informed preventative care of patients at high cardiovascular risk.

Amarin is intentionally blinded to the results of the study and will remain blinded to such results until after the study is completed and the database is locked.
