Title: Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of AMR101 (Ethyl Icosapentate) in Patients With Fasting Triglyceride Levels ≥ 500 mg/dL and ≤ 2000 mg/dL
Brief Summary: The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of AMR101 (ethyl icosapentate) compared to placebo in lowering fasting triglyceride levels in patients with very high fasting triglyceride levels ≥ 500 and ≤ 2000 mg/dL.

C: General Inclusion Criteria:

1. Clinical signs and symptoms consistent with the diagnosis of an acute ischemic stroke, and subject belongs to one of the following subgroups:

   1. Subject has failed IV t-PA therapy (defined as a confirmed persistent occlusion 60 min after administration)
   2. Subject is contraindicated for IV t-PA administration
2. Age ≥18
3. Baseline NIHSS ≥10 (assessed within one hour of measuring core infarct volume)
4. Subject can be randomized between with 6 to 24 hours after time last known well

6. Anticipated life expectancy of at least 6 months
7. Subject willing/able to return for protocol required follow up visits
8. Subject or subject's Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) has signed the study Informed Consent form\*

   * If approved by local ethics committee and country regulations, the investigator is allowed to enroll a patient utilizing emergency informed consent procedures if neither the patient nor the representative or person of trust is available to sign the informed consent form. However, as soon as possible, the patient is informed and his/her consent is requested for the possible continuation of this research. (Not applicable to U.S. Sites.)

Imaging Inclusion Criteria:

1. \< 1/3 MCA territory involved, as evidenced by CT or MRI
2. Occlusion of the intracranial ICA and/or MCA-M1 as evidenced by MRA or CTA
3. Clinical Imaging Mismatch (CIM) defined as one of the following on MR-DWI or CTP-rCBF maps:

   1. 0-\<21 cc core infarct and NIHSS ≥ 10 (and age ≥ 80 years old)
   2. 0-\<31 cc core infarct and NIHSS ≥ 10 (and age \< 80 years old)
   3. 31 cc to \<51 cc core infarct and NIHSS ≥ 20 (and age \< 80 years old)

General Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of severe head injury within past 90 days with residual neurological deficit, as determined by medical history

3. Pre-existing neurological or psychiatric disease that would confound the neurological or functional evaluations, e.g. dementia with prescribed anti-cholinesterase inhibitor (e.g. Aricept)
4. Seizures at stroke onset if it makes the diagnosis of stroke doubtful and precludes obtaining an accurate baseline NIHSS assessment
5. Baseline blood glucose of \<50mg/dL (2.78 mmol) or \>400mg/dL (22.20 mmol)
6. Baseline hemoglobin counts of \<7 mmol/L
7. Baseline platelet count \< 50,000/uL

4. Suspected cerebral vasculitis based on medical history and CTA/MRA
