Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

[Dancing in the dark]

"She relied on a “hypothetical patient” in Mori with Tg> 500 to conclude that Epa was shown to reduce TG and not raise LDL in pts. She states Mori had pts in the Tg> 500 group (even if it was one) and that’s enough to say it was obvious and that the results would not be limited to just the Tg< 500 group. You and I both know a three arm trial of 20 pts each with maybe 1 having TG>500 is not scientific evidence. I can’t put into words how I feel after reading this brief. I hate to say it but I can’t conclude anything else other than she was paid off."

1. if paid off, maybe the payor only wanted a temporary share price setback. hence, what you suspect is weak reasoning underlying the decision.

2. perhaps the defendants might also sense the weakness in her reasoning upon appeal and seek to settle for now a much higher amount that amarin is more open to paying.
