Key PointsQuestionIn statin-treated patients with high cardiovascular risk, high triglycerides, and low HDL cholesterol levels, does adding a carboxylic acid formulation of omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) to background therapy improve cardiovascular outcomes? FindingsIn this randomized clinical trial of 13 078 patients that was stopped early, daily supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids, compared with corn oil, resulted in no significant difference in a composite outcome of major adverse cardiovascular events (hazard ratio, 0.99). MeaningThese findings do not support use of this omega-3 fatty acid formulation to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with high cardiovascular risk.
