JT discussed the process in Q2 ER CC.
"Some investors have theorized that someone must know the results. No. Nobody yet knows the results. As a reminder, patients and clinical sites do not know whether each patient is administered placebo or Vascepa. The capsules are not marked and indistinguishable and lab tests for the study are performed at a centralized facility and not reported back to the clinical sites. Such lab also doesn't know which patients are on Vascepa and which patients are on placebo."

So if a patient decides to take a lab test outside of the trial. Let's say through his insurance wellness program (once a year free lab test). He can certainly do that. And if he sees something he doesn't like, something like abnormally high trigs, he can certainly do something about it. Like change his diet, start exercising, or perhaps start taking OmegaVia EPA 500.
