I expect Vascepa to continue its winning ways. Amarin could get some good news in the not-too-distant future from partners that are working toward regulatory approval in China, the Middle East, and North Africa. Approval in China would certainly present a big step forward.
The biggest potential catalyst for Amarin, however, is the cardiovascular outcomes study. Amarin expects that a second interim efficacy and safety analysis will be conducted by its data-monitoring committee in or around the third quarter of 2017. The study should wrap up toward the end of next year. Amarin hopes to announce results in 2018. If all goes well, Vascepa sales should soar even higher -- along with Amarin's shares.
