What: Shares of biopharmaceutical company Amarin
So what: In a late-stage clinical trial, Amarin's lead product candidate, AMR101, was effective at reducing triglycerides without increasing LDL cholesterol, or "bad cholesterol," after 12 weeks. Lovaza -- GlaxoSmithKline's
Now what: Amarin seems like an interesting situation for speculative investors. AMR101 continues to display clear benefits over competing triglyceride drugs, making it an increasingly tempting takeover target. It's hard to believe, but even with today's 80%-plus surge, Amarin might still be a steal for a patent cliff-facing drug giant.
