Vascepa® is a single-molecule product. It is a highly purified omega-3 fatty acid (EPA) ethyl ester.
Vascepa® is the only drug approved by the FDA as an adjunct to maximally tolerated statin therapy for reducing persistent CV risk in targeted high risk patients. Based on cross trial comparisons, Vascepa® demonstrated significant efficacy advantages over evolocumab (one PCSK-9 inhibitor) and ezetimibe (one cholesterol absorption inhibitor) on top of statin therapy for reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.
We launched Vascepa® in China in 2023.
