The primary objective is to determine the effect of multiple doses of Epanova® (omega fatty acids) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of multiple 40 mg doses of simvastatin.
The study is testing the hypothesis that there is no interaction between Epanova and concomitant administration of simvastatin and aspirin. No drug interaction will be claimed if, following concomitant administration of simvastatin, aspirin and Epanova or only simvastatin and aspirin, the 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the geometric mean ratios (GMRs) of the back-transformed PK parameters, area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC0-tau) and concentration at the end of a dosing interval (Cmax,ss), for simvastatin and beta- hydroxysimvastatin acid,fall within 80%-125%.
