Amarin Link Gaffe Pushes Shares Higher
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Shares of Amarin Corporation (NASDAQ:AMRN) moved higher on Thursday after a
webpage suggesting 'Vascepa' as the brand name for AMR101 - a prescription fish
oil formulation for high triglycerides - was leaked on the web. When that
happened, the page was quickly taken down.
The link pointed to http://uat.amarin.strategicedge.com/vascepa/index.html, a
page hosted on strategicedge.com, which belongs to a 'Healthcare communications
and marketing company'. According to their 'about' page, Strategic Edge
Communications (abbreviated as 'SEC', ironically) has been around for at least a
decade and online for at least 5 years. A call to the company for a comment on
this matter went unanswered. "Everyone is currently busy," said their
receptionist.
Notwithstanding, the market has taken this occasion as a hint that AMR101 will
gain FDA approval later this month. Momentum is expected to remain positive
heading into the FDA's decision date of July 26th.
