Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of OM5/LOV111859 was to evaluate efficacy and safety of Omacor (omega-3-acid ethyl esters) as add-on therapy to Antara (fenofibrate) and diet for the treatment of patients with very high triglycerides.

The purpose of both OM5X/LOV111860 was to assess the continued efficacy and safety of adjunctive Lovaza (omega-3-acid ethyl esters) therapy in hypertriglyceridemic subjects treated with fenofibrate in lowering serum triglyceride (TG) levels.
