PD The 1500 is in the active arm
The control arm is 15,000
I believe they will select from the control arm to closely match those on the active arm … age , co morbidity etc … especially those that get Covid
At the time of the presentation you reference there was a very low event rate in the area they were recruiting in
Since then … August I believe … Covid delta wave positivity hit around 20% then subsided
Most recent updates is to expect a surge in Covid Omricon from mid Dec thru Jan … in the MITIGATE area .

I think Kaiser will extend this trial if they feel it’s warranted
If they don’t get the data they need from the August surge or the expected Omricon surge … then it’s over re Vascepa and Covid benefit

There is already an Omricon variant out break at Kaiser in Oakland

Do or die for proving any Covid benefit from using Vascepa
