OM6X: An Open-Label Extension of a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Combined Lovaza (Previously Omacor®) and Simvastatin Therapy in Hypertriglyceridemic Subjects

In a previous trial (LOV111858/OM6), subjects received in a double-blind fashion either 4
g/day of Lovaza® (omega-3-ethyl esters) [formerly known as Omacor] co-administered with
simvastatin 40 mg/day or placebo co-administered with simvastatin 40 mg/day for 8 weeks. This
extension trial, LOV111818/OM6X assessed the continued efficacy and safety of Lovaza®
(omega-3-ethyl esters) co-administered with simvastatin 40 mg vs. switching from simvastatin
plus placebo to simvastatin plus Lovaza® for lowering non-High Density
Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels at 4 months (primary endpoint) and additionally at
12 and 24 months.

Two studies comprise this OM6 Program. Study LOV111858/OM6 (double-blind study) which is
outlined in NCT00246701 and Study LOV111818/OM6X (open-label extension) outlined in this
posting.
