American Heart Association (AHA) Science Advisory:

Released an advisory statement identifying icosapent ethyl as the first non–LDL-focused lipid therapy to demonstrate CV benefit. IPE was further recommended to be considered first-line therapy for patients with T2DM and CAD whose triglycerides remain elevated (>135 mg/dL) despite maximally tolerated statin and lifestyle changes.1

American Diabetes Association (ADA) Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes for 2019:

ADA gives icosapent ethyl level “A” recommendation for patients with diabetes and ASCVD or other CV risk factors on a statin with controlled LDL-C and elevated TG (135-499 mg/dL).2

"It should be noted that data are lacking with other omega-3 fatty acids and results of the REDUCE-IT® trial should not be extrapolated to other products"
Combination therapy (statin/fibrate) has not been shown to improve atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease outcomes and is generally not recommended

European Society of Cardiology/European Atherosclerosis Society (ESC/EAS) Guidelines:

Recommend that icosapent ethyl, 2g twice a day, should be considered for patients with CV disease who have TG levels 135 mg/dL to 499 mg/dL despite statin treatment, which places them at high risk of CV events, such as heart attack, stroke, or death.5
