-- Strong Cash Position of $306 Million; 9th Consecutive Quarter of Positive or Neutral Cash Balance ---- Total Net Revenue of $42 Million Represents Continued Source of Cash from the U.S., RoW Partnerships and Early Phases of European Launches ---- Positive European Momentum Continues with Progress from Pricing & Reimbursement Efforts and Incremental Revenue Growth Driven Primarily by Spain and the UK ---- Company to Host Virtual Analyst & Investor Day November 14 ---- Company Remains Committed to Maintaining Public Listing – DUBLIN and BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ: AMRN), today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and provided a business update. At Amarin, the company’s product -- VASCEPA®/VAZKEPA® (icosapent ethyl) -- has significant growth and value potential globally. This continues to be validated by progress around the world. During the quarter, VAZKEPA sales grew 19% sequentially in Europe, driven primarily by Spain and the UK. Notably, in Italy, the Company has taken additional steps with the Italian authorities and hopes to be in a position to share news soon. In the U.S., the Company has maintained +50% share of the IPE market through the third quarter. As a result, the U.S. business has continued to generate significant cash representing +$300M consistently over the last nine quarters, all in the face of ongoing generic competition. Additionally, the Company continues to assess the potential optimal timing for an authorized generic launch. Commenting on the Company and its third quarter results, Aaron Berg, Amarin’s President and CEO stated, “While we and our global partners continue to execute on our multipronged global strategy focused on getting VASCEPA/VAZKEPA into the hands of as many patients as possible, the senior leadership team and I, as well as the Board of Directors, remain committed to evaluating all opportunities to maximize the value and impact of this highly impactful product. To that end, we look forward to highlighting the global opportunity for VASCEPA/VAZKEPA and to hear directly from both prescribers and select partners from around the world on the impact of VASCEPA/VAZKEPA during our upcoming virtual Analyst and Investor Day on November 14.” Continuing, Berg said, “We remain fully committed to our public listing – it is very important for us as well as our shareholders. In addition to continuing to drive the business, there are a number of paths available to us to resolve the issue.” Third Quarter Operational Highlights Amarin continued to advance pricing and reimbursement efforts across additional European and Rest of World (RoW) markets, including: In Italy, realized further progress with the pricing and reimbursement authorities, and the Company hopes to be able to share further updates soon.In Portugal, secured national reimbursement for VAZKEPA.In Australia, in collaboration with our partner CSL Seqirus, secured national reimbursement for VAZKEPA in Australia, where CSL is now launching the product.

About AmarinAmarin is an innovative pharmaceutical company leading a new paradigm in cardiovascular disease management. We are committed to increasing the scientific understanding of the cardiovascular risk that persists beyond traditional therapies and advancing the treatment of that risk for patients worldwide. Amarin has offices in Bridgewater, New Jersey in the United States, Dublin in Ireland, Zug in Switzerland, and other countries in Europe as well as commercial partners and suppliers around the world. About VASCEPA®/VAZKEPA® (icosapent ethyl) Capsules VASCEPA (icosapent ethyl) capsules are the first prescription treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) comprised solely of the active ingredient, icosapent ethyl (IPE), a unique form of eicosapentaenoic acid. VASCEPA was launched in the United States in January 2020 as the first drug approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of high-risk patients with persistent cardiovascular risk despite being on statin therapy. VASCEPA was initially launched in the United States in 2013 based on the drug’s initial FDA approved indication for use as an adjunct therapy to diet to reduce triglyceride levels in adult patients with severe (≥500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. Since launch, VASCEPA has been prescribed more than twenty-five million times. VASCEPA is covered by most major medical insurance plans. In addition to the United States, VASCEPA is approved and sold in Canada, China, Australia, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain. In Europe, in March 2021 marketing authorization was granted via a centralized procedure for icosapent ethyl in the European Union for the reduction of risk of cardiovascular events in patients at high cardiovascular risk, under the brand name VAZKEPA. VAZKEPA (icosapent ethyl) is currently sold in Europe in Sweden, Finland, Austria, the UK (including England, Wales & Scotland and Northern Ireland), Spain, Portugal, Greece and the Netherlands. In April 2021 marketing authorization for VAZKEPA (icosapent ethyl) was granted in Great Britain (applying to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). United States Indications and Limitation of Use VASCEPA is indicated: As an adjunct to maximally tolerated statin therapy to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary revascularization and unstable angina requiring hospitalization in adult patients with elevated triglyceride (TG) levels (≥ 150 mg/dL) and established cardiovascular disease or diabetes mellitus and two or more additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease. As an adjunct to diet to reduce TG levels in adult patients with severe (≥ 500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. The effect of VASCEPA on the risk for pancreatitis in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia has not been determined. Important Safety Information VASCEPA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylactic reaction) to VASCEPA or any of its components. VASCEPA was associated with an increased risk (3% vs 2%) of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter requiring hospitalization in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The incidence of atrial fibrillation was greater in patients with a previous history of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. It is not known whether patients with allergies to fish and/or shellfish are at an increased risk of an allergic reaction to VASCEPA. Patients with such allergies should discontinue VASCEPA if any reactions occur. VASCEPA was associated with an increased risk (12% vs 10%) of bleeding in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The incidence of bleeding was greater in patients receiving concomitant antithrombotic medications, such as aspirin, clopidogrel or warfarin. Common adverse reactions in the cardiovascular outcomes trial (incidence ≥3% and ≥1% more frequent than placebo): musculoskeletal pain (4% vs 3%), peripheral edema (7% vs 5%), constipation (5% vs 4%), gout (4% vs 3%), and atrial fibrillation (5% vs 4%). Common adverse reactions in the hypertriglyceridemia trials (incidence >1% more frequent than placebo): arthralgia (2% vs 1%) and oropharyngeal pain (1% vs 0.3%). Adverse events may be reported by calling 1-855-VASCEPA or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. Patients receiving VASCEPA and concomitant anticoagulants and/or anti-platelet agents should be monitored for bleeding.

Evidence demonstrates that SUBLOCADE supports long-term recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD) and is effective and safe. Publications highlight the importance of overcoming access barriers to long-acting injectable treatments for OUD RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Indivior PLC (Nasdaq/LSE: INDV), in recognizing Substance Abuse Prevention Month, provides an update on key findings from the last year that demonstrate the importance of access to medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder (MOUD) and the effectiveness and safety of SUBLOCADE® in the treatment of OUD. These data add to the growing body of evidence that SUBLOCADE can improve outcomes, such as abstinence, retention, and recovery in persons with OUD. Publications In a post hoc analysis of the SUBLOCADE randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical trial, published in Harm Reduction Journal, SUBLOCADE 300 mg maintenance dose resulted in a statistically significant increase in abstinence from opioids among study participants with OUD who injected opioids compared to 100 mg maintenance dose. However, both were equally effective in non-injecting participants. Results from the Community Long-Acting Buprenorphine (CoLAB) Study, a prospective single-arm, multicenter, open label trial in Australia, were published in the International Journal of Drug Policy, and demonstrated that participants could be maintained on SUBLOCADE treatment for 96 weeks with continuous improvements in abstinence, depression, quality of life and medication satisfaction. In a qualitative research survey of 20 participants representing various practice settings, published in American Health & Drug Benefits, it was determined that telemedicine was the most common solution adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic to overcome access barriers. However, today there are still significant challenges in ensuring appropriate access to medications for those living with OUD and continued support, effective solutions and policies in the United States, need to be continually addressed. In a narrowly focused literature, policy, and legal proceedings review, published in Corrections Today, a clear disparity in access to MOUD was found between the general public and incarcerated individuals. Stigma and informed consent were the most discussed barriers used to justify policies limiting MOUD for incarcerated individuals.

Indivior is committed to continuing to advance the understanding of patients with OUD, educate on evidence-based practices, overcome stigma, and focus on recovery outcomes." Among the almost 6 million people aged 12 or older with a past year opioid use disorder in 2023, only 18% (or one million people) received treatment through MOUD.1 About SUBLOCADE® SUBLOCADE ® (buprenorphine extended-release) injection, for subcutaneous use, CIII INDICATION AND HIGHLIGHTED SAFETY INFORMATION INDICATION SUBLOCADE is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe opioid use disorder in patients who have initiated treatment with a buprenorphine-containing product, followed by dose adjustment for a minimum of 7 days. SUBLOCADE should be used as part of a complete treatment plan that includes counseling and psychosocial support. HIGHLIGHTED SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: RISK OF SERIOUS HARM OR DEATH WITH INTRAVENOUS ADMINISTRATION; SUBLOCADE RISK EVALUATION AND MITIGATION STRATEGY Serious harm or death could result if administered intravenously. SUBLOCADE forms a solid mass upon contact with body fluids and may cause occlusion, local tissue damage, and thrombo-embolic events, including life threatening pulmonary emboli, if administered intravenously. Because of the risk of serious harm or death that could result from intravenous self-administration, SUBLOCADE is only available through a restricted program called the SUBLOCADE REMS Program. Healthcare settings and pharmacies that order and dispense SUBLOCADE must be certified in this program and comply with the REMS requirements. CONTRAINDICATIONS SUBLOCADE should not be administered to patients who have been shown to be hypersensitive to buprenorphine or any component of Indivior's proprietary buprenorphine gel depot delivery system. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Addiction, Abuse, and Misuse: SUBLOCADE contains buprenorphine, a Schedule III controlled substance that can be abused in a manner similar to other opioids. Monitor patients for conditions indicative of diversion or progression of opioid dependence and addictive behaviors. Respiratory Depression: Life threatening respiratory depression and death have occurred in association with buprenorphine. Warn patients of the potential danger of self-administration of benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants while under treatment with SUBLOCADE. Opioids can cause sleep-related breathing disorders e.g., central sleep apnea (CSA), sleep-related hypoxemia. Opioid use increases the risk of CSA in a dose-dependent fashion. Consider decreasing the opioid using best practices for opioid taper if CSA occurs. Strongly consider prescribing naloxone at SUBLOCADE initiation or renewal because patients being treated for opioid use disorder have the potential for relapse, putting them at risk for opioid overdose. Educate patients and caregivers on how to recognize respiratory depression and how to treat with naloxone if prescribed. Risk of Serious Injection Site Reactions: The most common injection site reactions are pain, erythema and pruritus with some involving abscess, ulceration, and necrosis. The likelihood of serious injection site reactions may increase with inadvertent intramuscular or intradermal administration. Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome: Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome is an expected and treatable outcome of prolonged use of opioids during pregnancy. Adrenal Insufficiency: If diagnosed, treat with physiologic replacement of corticosteroids, and wean patient off the opioid. Risk of Opioid Withdrawal With Abrupt Discontinuation: If treatment with SUBLOCADE is discontinued, monitor patients for several months for withdrawal and treat appropriately. Risk of Hepatitis, Hepatic Events: Monitor liver function tests prior to and during treatment. Risk of Withdrawal in Patients Dependent on Full Agonist Opioids: Verify that patient is clinically stable on transmucosal buprenorphine before injecting SUBLOCADE. Treatment of Emergent Acute Pain: Treat pain with a non-opioid analgesic whenever possible. If opioid therapy is required, monitor patients closely because higher doses may be required for analgesic effect. ADVERSE REACTIONS Adverse reactions commonly associated with SUBLOCADE (in ≥5% of subjects) were constipation, headache, nausea, injection site pruritus, vomiting, increased hepatic enzymes, fatigue, and injection site pain.

Collaborative telehealth platform will provide patients with immediate access to QSYMIA®, a chronic weight loss medication, enhancing their healthcare journey CAMPBELL, Calif., Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VIVUS LLC, a biopharmaceutical company committed to the development and commercialization of innovative therapies that focus on advancing treatments for patients with serious unmet medical needs, and UpScriptHealth, a leading, nationwide, direct-to-consumer telemedicine company, today announced the launch of ChooseQ.online. This robust online telemedicine platform is designed specifically for distributing QSYMIA® (phentermine and topiramate extended-release capsules CIV), the leading non-injectable branded weight loss medication in the U.S. for adults. Under this collaboration, QSYMIA is now accessible to patients through UpScript LLC’s proprietary Telehealth Platform. QSYMIA is indicated as an FDA-approved adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in some adults and certain pediatric patients aged 12 years and older. “The launch of ChooseQ.online represents a significant milestone in our commitment to enhancing patient care and accessibility. We are thrilled to offer our patients the convenience they deserve,” said John Amos, CEO of VIVUS. “By leveraging UpScriptHealth’s expertise, within just a few clicks patients can now access medications, like QSYMIA, and consult with a physician from anywhere, ensuring that quality health care is always within reach.” ChooseQ.online offers the ability to: Access high quality health care and directly communicate with a healthcare providerHave medication mailed directly to patients through a mail order pharmacy, which offers patients a time-saving solution, or sent to a retail pharmacyProvide patient assistance with managing the coverage administration process through UpScriptHealth’s benefit support capabilities “Partnering with VIVUS marks a significant milestone in our joint commitment to technological innovation in healthcare.

Varghese, MD, President VIVUS Global Pharmaceutical Development and Chief Medical Officer at VIVUS LLC. “This initiative, paired with our recent labeling update, not only expands access to QSYMIA, but also empowers patients to proactively engage in their treatment plans, fostering long-term health outcomes.” The label update for QSYMIA removed specific body mass index (BMI) requirements and warnings or precautions regarding increase in heart rate, risk of hypoglycemia in people with type 2 diabetes taking anti-diabetic therapy, and risk of hypotension in people taking antihypertensive medication. The projected global impact of obesity is staggering, with an estimated one billion people expected to be affected by 2030. This marks nearly a twofold increase from around 511 million in 2020. Significantly, obesity escalates the risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Consequently, this heightened risk contributes to an overall increased susceptibility to cardiovascular disease and mortality. Achieving and maintaining healthy weight goals can play a crucial role in mitigating this risk. QSYMIA was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2012 for chronic weight management. The once-daily pill is covered by the majority (81%) of commercial healthcare plans and is indicated for long-term use. QSYMIA is designed to help patients manage hunger and reduce cravings throughout the day. Combined with a healthy diet and exercise, it has been proven to help patients lose weight and maintain weight loss.
