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. Men or women, ≥18 years of age.
2. Patient must be on a stable diet and statin\* therapy at least 4 weeks prior to randomization (Visit 2) and meet the following criteria:

   1. LDL-C \<100 mg/dL
   2. TG level ≥180 and \<500 mg/dL and HDL-C \<42 mg/dL for men or HDL-C \<47 mg/dL for women
3. Patient is at high risk for a future cardiovascular event if at least one of the following criteria (3a, 3b or 3c)\* is present via patient history, physical exam, or medical records at the time of screening:

   1. Any atherosclerotic CVD as defined in protocol.
   2. History of diabetes mellitus (type 1 or 2) and ≥40 years of age for men and ≥50 years of age for women, plus one of the risk factors defined in protocol.
   3. Male patients \>50 years of age or females \>60 years of age, with at least one of the risk factors defined in protocol.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

1. Allergy or intolerance to omega-3 carboxylic acids, omega-3 fatty acids, omega-3-acid ethyl esters, or corn oil. 2.Use of fibrates, bile acid sequestrants, or niacin or its analogues (\>250 mg/day) within 4 weeks prior to Visit 2. 3.Statin naïve at Visit 1.
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:

* Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)
* The ruptured cerebral aneurysms conformed by cerebral angiography
* The patients with treated by craniotomy and clip application within 72h after the onset of SAH

Exclusion Criteria:

* Traumatic or mycotic aneurysms
* A history or complication of serious stroke
* Moya Moya disease
* A history of SAH
* Complication of serious heart or hepatic disease or infection or renal failure
* Malignant tumor
* Patients judged to be inappropriate by physician in charge
D: 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
