Abstract in brief

  • Icosapent ethyl significantly lowered the risk of both first and subsequent ischemic events (like cardiovascular death) in statin-treated patients with high triglycerides.
  • The REDUCE-IT trial involved 8,179 patients with specific cholesterol and triglyceride levels, comparing the effects of icosapent ethyl to a placebo over about 4.9 years.
  • Results showed a substantial reduction in total primary endpoint events for those taking icosapent ethyl, with rates of 61 vs. 89 per 1,000 patient-years compared to placebo.
