On November 12, 2018, Seeking Alpha published an article by contributor DoctoRx, entitled "Amarin's REDUCE-IT Trial: Something Fishy?" The article addressed Amarin's "recent revelations of positive topline results" from its REDUCE-IT trial for Vascepa, its sole product. Specifically, the article raised the possibility that "the placebo group received an active agent that in effect was an anti-statin", and that the REDUCE-IT trial results may have consequently exaggerated the efficacy of Vascepa. Following this news, Amarin's American depositary receipt price fell sharply during intraday trading on November 13, 2018.
