这是正方看好
AMRN 的人的摘要:
•Just because four out of five surveyed pharmacies have never heard of Vascepa does not mean Vascepa will not sell in the future after it receives a broad-use label.
•With longer follow-ups/more events, Vascepa is likely to prove significant in the reduction of all-cause mortality. Nonetheless, statistically significant reductions in CV-related mortality, stroke, heart attack, etc., on top of statin therapy, is more than enough to grant Vascepa with a broad label.
•Doctors/nurse practitioners are not going to prescribe an untested, unregulated OTC supplement over a FDA-approved and clinically proven medication in an attempt to reduce cardiovascular events (and death). To do so would be highly unprofessional and unethical.
Risks
Yes, there are still risks associated with an investment in Amarin (and Vascepa), such as the following:
•The FDA may not issue a label inclusive enough to be favorably viewed by Wall Street
•Amarin will likely require a lot of money to commercialize the drug
•Vascepa sales may be slow to grow
•Competition from generics/up-and-coming EPA drugs
All three of the points above, along with others, may decrease value in AMRN‘s stock.
