Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation | (1) Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation Nature of Business Amarin Corporation plc, or Amarin, or the Company, is a pharmaceutical company focused on the commercialization and development of therapeutics to improve cardiovascular health and reduce cardiovascular risk. Most of the Company’s historical revenue and sales, marketing and administrative activities and costs have been associated with commercial operations in the United States, or U.S. In 2021 the Company began to increase pre-launch commercial activities in Europe. The Company’s operations outside of the U.S. and Europe are in early stages of development with reliance on third-party commercial partners in select geographies, including China where regulatory approval for the Company’s lead product is being actively sought. The Company’s lead product, VASCEPA® (icosapent ethyl), was first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or U.S. FDA, in July 2012 for use as an adjunct to diet to reduce triglyceride, or TG, levels in adult patients with severe (>500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. In January 2013, the Company launched 1-gram size VASCEPA in the U.S. and in October 2016, introduced a smaller 0.5-gram capsule size. On December 13, 2019, the U.S. FDA approved an indication and label expansion for VASCEPA based on the results of the Company’s long-term cardiovascular outcomes trial, REDUCE-IT®, or Reduction of Cardiovascular Events with EPA – Intervention Trial. VASCEPA is approved by the U.S. FDA as an adjunct to maximally tolerated statin therapy for reducing persistent cardiovascular risk in select high risk patients. VASCEPA is also available for sale by prescription only in Canada, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates through collaborations and is also in development in other jurisdictions. On March 30, 2020, following conclusion of a trial in late January 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, or the Nevada Court, issued a ruling in favor of two generic drug companies, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc., or Dr. Reddy’s or DRL, and Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., or Hikma, and certain of their affiliates, or, collectively, the Defendants, that declared as invalid several of the Company's patents covering the first FDA-approved use of its drug, for use to reduce severely high triglyceride levels, which is known as the MARINE indication. The Company sought appeals of the Nevada Court judgment up to the United States Supreme Court, but the Company was unsuccessful. Most recently, on June 18, 2021, the Company was notified that its petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court was denied. On May 22, 2020, Hikma received U.S. FDA approval to market its generic version of VASCEPA for the original indication of VASCEPA. In November 2020, Hikma launched their generic version of VASCEPA on a limited scale. On August 10, 2020, Dr. Reddy's received U.S. FDA approval to market its generic version for the original indication of VASCEPA. In June 2021, Dr. Reddy’s launched its generic version of VASCEPA with labeling that is substantially similar to labeling of the Hikma generic product. On September 11, 2020, Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc’s., or Teva’s, abbreviated new drug application, or ANDA, was approved by the U.S. FDA and on June 30, 2021, Apotex, Inc.'s, or Apotex's, ANDA was approved by the U.S. FDA. In August 2020, the Company announced plans to launch icosapent ethyl under the brand name VAZKEPA, hereinafter along with the U.S. brand name VASCEPA, collectively referred to as VASCEPA, in major markets in Europe through the Company’s new European sales and marketing teams. On January 29, 2021, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, or CHMP, of the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, adopted a positive opinion, recommending that a marketing authorization be granted to icosapent ethyl in the European Union, or EU, for the reduction of risk of cardiovascular events in patients at high cardiovascular risk. On March 26, 2021, the European Commission, or EC, approved the marketing authorization application for VAZKEPA in the EU to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in high-risk, statin-treated adult patients who have elevated triglycerides (>150 mg/dL) and either established cardiovascular disease or diabetes and at least one additional cardiovascular risk event. On April 22, 2021, the Company announced that the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, approved VAZKEPA in England, Scotland and Wales to reduce cardiovascular risk through MHRA’s new ‘reliance’ route following the end of the BREXIT transition period. Collectively CHMP, EMA, EC and MHRA are referred to herein as the European Regulatory Authorities. In November 2020, the Company announced topline results from the Phase 3 clinical trial of VASCEPA conducted by the Company’s partner in China. On February 9, 2021, the Company announced that regulatory review processes for approval of VASCEPA in Mainland China and Hong Kong have commenced. The Chinese National Medical Products Administration, or NMPA, has accepted for review the new drug application for VASCEPA based on the results from the Phase 3 clinical trial and the results from the Company’s prior studies of VASCEPA. The Hong Kong Department of Health is evaluating VASCEPA based on current approvals in the United States and Canada. The Company currently has strategic collaborations to develop and commercialize VASCEPA in select territories outside the United States. Amarin is responsible for supplying VASCEPA to all markets in which the product is sold, including in Canada, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates where the drug is promoted and sold via collaboration with third-party companies that compensate Amarin for such supply. Amarin is not responsible for providing any generic company with drug product. The Company operates in one business segment.
