Detailed Description

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

This is a multicenter, collaborative, randomized, open-label study designed to explore the effects of administration of omega-3-acid ethyl esters (TAK-085) \[2 g (2 g PO QD) or 4 g (2 g PO BID) for 8 weeks\] on vascular endothelial function, as measured by flow-mediated dilation (FMD), in patients receiving a hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor and have concurrent hypertriglyceridemia.

Considering the potential bias by factors that affect FMD between treatment groups, stratified allocation will be performed with fasting triglyceride (TG) level as a factor.
