Core Insights - The 2025 ESC/EAS Dyslipidemia Guideline Update reaffirms high-dose icosapent ethyl (IPE) as a Class IIA recommended therapy for high-risk or very high-risk patients to reduce cardiovascular events based on the REDUCE-IT trial findings [1][14] Group 1: REDUCE-IT Trial Findings - Three sub-analyses from the REDUCE-IT trial demonstrate significant reductions in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and outcomes associated with IPE administration in patients with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, stratified by baseline apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and fasting triglyceride-rich lipoprotein cholesterol (TRL-C) levels [1][2] - IPE treatment showed a 44% relative risk reduction (RRR) for the primary composite endpoint in patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m², with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.56 (95% CI 0.39, 0.79), P = 0.001, and an absolute risk reduction (ARR) of 11.2% [4][5] Group 2: Impact on Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) - IPE treatment resulted in significant reductions in MACE across all quartiles of baseline ApoB and TRL-C concentrations, with HRs ranging from 0.72 to 0.80 for ApoB and from 0.74 to 0.68 for TRL-C, all with P ≤ 0.02 [8][9] Group 3: Hospitalization and Mortality Outcomes - IPE significantly reduced total hospitalizations (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.84, 0.98, P=0.017) and increased the likelihood of surviving without hospitalization (odds ratio (OR) 1.12, 95% CI 1.02, 1.22, P=0.016) [12][13] Group 4: Clinical Recommendations - The ESC/EAS guidelines recommend high-dose IPE for patients with elevated triglyceride levels (135–499 mg/dL) despite statin therapy, emphasizing its role in reducing CVD events [14]

DUBLIN and BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Aug. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ:AMRN) today announced upcoming presentations at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2025, August 29th-September 1st, in Madrid, Spain, where new data will further illuminate the multifaceted cardioprotective effects of icosapent ethyl (IPE). Data to be featured at ESC 2025 will provide deeper insight into the potential role of IPE in reducing cardiovascular (CV) risk through multiple mechanisms, in ...
