Title: Effect of Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) on Major Cardiovascular Events in Hypercholesterolemic Patients: the Japan EPA Lipid Intervention Study (JELIS)
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the long-term use of highly (\>98%) purified EPA, in addition to HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin), would be more effective than statin alone in preventing cardiovascular events in Japanese patients with hypercholesterolemia.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female subject, age 17 or older; country-specific age limitations will be followed
2. Diagnosis of Crohn's disease confirmed by radiological studies or endoscopy or surgical pathology within 36 months prior to randomisation
3. In remission for at least 3 months, but no longer than 12 months; remission being defined as meeting both of the two conditions: (1) clinically in remission with a CDAI of less than 150 and (2) off steroids and/or immunosuppressants for at least 3 months, if remission had been induced with such medications

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Intolerance of omega-3 fatty acids or known allergy to fish or fish products
2. Ongoing CD therapy with: 5-ASA compounds, steroids, immune modifiers, systemic antibiotics, tube feeding, defined formula diets or parenteral nutrition
3. In 3 months prior to randomisation received: systemic steroid therapy, azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate, cyclosporine, probiotic products or preparations containing fish oil
4. In 12 months prior to randomisation received: biologicals e.g. enbrel, infliximab, mycophenolate, tacrolimus, thalidomide, other immune modifiers and/or investigational products
5. Chronic use of narcotics for pain control (opiates for diarrhoea are acceptable)
6. Documented short bowel syndrome, ostomy
7. Need for bowel surgery for CD, bowel obstruction or resection in past 3 months (a subject who had a bowel resection in the past must have had at least one relapse after the surgery)
8. Malignancy and/or clinically significant impairment in cardiac, liver or renal function, CNS, pulmonary, hematological, immunological, vascular and gastrointestinal disease in addition to CD
9. Known alcoholism or drug abuse
10. Any medical conditions which, in the investigator's opinion, may interfere with the evaluation of the trial medication
11. Any of the following laboratory abnormalities:

    * White blood count \< 3 x 109/L
    * Lymphocyte count \< 0.5 x 109/L
    * Haemoglobin \< 80 g/L
    * Platelet count \< 125 x 109/L or \> 800 x 109/L
    * ALT or AST \> 2.0 times the upper limit of normal
    * Alkaline Phosphatase \> 2.0 times the upper limit of normal
    * Serum Creatinine \> 1.5 times the upper limit of normal
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Multiple risk factors:

  * diabetes,
  * age =\> 65 years,
  * male sex,
  * hypertension,
  * hypercholesterolemia,
  * smoking,
  * obesity,
  * family history of premature cardiovascular disease;
* Previous manifestations of atherosclerotic disease (ischemic stoke, transient ischemic attack \[TIA\], peripheral artery disease, previous arterial revascularisation procedures, angina pectoris)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Contraindications (known allergies to n-3 PUFA) or indications (previous myocardial infarction) for the treatment with n-3 PUFA
* Serious comorbidity with an unfavourable prognosis over the short term
* Expected non compliance over a long period of time
* Pregnancy
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Eligible participants had a total cholesterol level of ≧250mg/dL(6.5m mol/L) at baseline.
* Hyperlipidemic patients with serum total cholesterol of 250mg/dL or more. (Measurement of serum total cholesterol)
* Serum total cholesterol should be measured twice at interval of 2-4weeks. A single measurement is acceptable if the cholesterol is measured by blood collection at fasting under strict compliance with dietary advice after withdrawal of the antihyperlipemic drug.
* (Wash Out) The wash out period of 4weeks (8 weeks for probucol) is necessary in patients under treatment with antihyperlipemic drug. However, if treatment with the antihyperlipemic drug was started within 6 months of the initiation of the study, the patient can participate in the study without the washout period.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Acute myocardial infarction occurring within last 6 months
* Unstable angina pectoris
* A history or complication of serious heart disease(severe arrhythmia, heart failure, cardiac myopathy, valvular disease, congenital disease, etc.)
* Receiving cardiovascular reconstruction within last 6 months
* Cerebrovascular disorders occurring within last 6 months
* Complication of serious hepatic disease or renal disease
* Malignant tumor
* Uncontrollable diabetes
* Hyperlipidemia arising from the following disease: Nephrotic syndrome, hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, secondary hyperlipidemia due to other disease
* Hyperlipidemia due to some drugs such as steroid hormone
* Hemorrhage(hemophilia, capillary fragility, gastrointestinal ulcer, urinary tract hemorrhage, hemoptysis, vitreous hemorrhage, etc.)
* Hemorrhagic diathesis
* Hypersensitivity to the study drug formulation
* Patients intending to undergo surgery
* Patients judged to be inappropriate by the physician in charge
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Myocardial infarction 3-14 days before randomisation (STEMI and NSTEMI)
* Ability to take Ω-3-FAE or olive oil without risk
* Informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:
