A colorectal cancer trial missed its goal, but estimated 5-year survival was 62% with the drug versus 45% with placebo.
Amarin's drug VASCEPA failed to meet its primary endpoint in a colorectal cancer trial but showed a 5-year survival rate of 62% vs. 45% with placebo. The study, sponsored by the University of Leeds, found improved overall survival but not progression-free survival. Amarin plans further evaluation, citing potential long-term value.
