According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Amarin touted the results of its REDUCE-IT trial for Vascepa, the Company’s cardiovascular disease drug candidate, while knowing the results were not as positive as it was representing them to be. The placebo given to the control portion of the trial may have led to an increased rate of cardiovascular events for those patients. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Amarin, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.
