Brief Summary

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

This was a 24-month, open-label extension study that followed an 8-week double-blind study (Study LOV111859/OM5) and an 8-week, open-label extension study (LOV111860/OM5X). Study LOV111859/OM5 was conducted to evaluate whether combination therapy with Lovaza (omega-3-acid ethyl esters) and Antara (fenofibrate) would result in a greater reduction in serum triglyceride levels in hypertriglyceridemic subjects than treatment with fenofibrate alone. This second extension of 24 months was to assess the continued efficacy of adjunctive Lovaza (omega-3-acid ethyl esters) \[formerly known as Omacor\] therapy in hypertriglyceridemic subjects treated with Antara (fenofibrate) in lowering serum triglyceride (TG) levels.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Three studies comprise this program. Study LOV111859/OM5 (double-blind study) was followed by two open label extensions - LOV111860/OM5X (1st open label extension - 8 weeks) and LOV111821/OM5XX (2nd open label extension - 24 months).

Studies LOV111859/OM5 and LOV111860/OM5X are outlined in NCT00246636.
