Amarin Corporation announced that its VASCEPA/VAZKEPA (icosapent ethyl) franchise is well-positioned to benefit from recent breakthroughs in elevated triglyceride therapies. The company highlighted that new ApoC-III-targeted injectables complement rather than compete with VASCEPA, which has been prescribed over 25 million times globally. Amarin expects payor-driven step-therapy programs to increase utilization of VASCEPA as a cost-effective first-line therapy before access to newer, more expensive alternatives. The company also secured an exclusive long-term license agreement with Recordati S.p.A. to commercialize VAZKEPA across 59 countries in Europe.
