The formulation and dose of the omega-3 EPA (icosapent ethyl) that is being tested in the EMT2 trial was approved by NICE in July 2022 for prevention of heart attacks and strokes in patients who already have cardiovascular disease or diabetes, and are already taking a statin drug but still have high levels of triglycerides. It is marketed as Vazkepa by Amarin Corp, which supplies the active and placebo forms of icosapent ethyl for the EMT2 trial.
