Amarin (AMRN) Announce Encouraging Top Line Results

June 10, 2009 7:42 AM EDT

Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ: AMRN) announced encouraging top line results from an exploratory Phase 2a multi-centre, dose-ranging, cross-over clinical study of EN101 in patients with myasthenia gravis, a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by muscle weakness which can be life-threatening.

The primary objective of the exploratory study, for which interim results had previously been announced, was to assess the efficacy and safety of three doses of EN101 each given orally once daily for one week in patients with myasthenia gravis. The final results of the study indicate that 10mg, 20mg and 40mg of EN101 resulted in a statistically significant reduction in Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) score from baseline of 11.8% (p=0.001), 16.8% (p<0.001) and 20.3% (p<0.001), respectively. Importantly, EN101 was also shown to be safe and well tolerated.
