A high-throughput approach towards a novel formulation of fenofibrate in omega-3 oil.

A novel lipid formulation containing fenofibrate in omega-3 oil was developed using a novel high-throughput screening platform. The optimized formulation combines the cardiovascular health benefits from omega-3 oil with the potent lipid-regulating effect of fenofibrate. When tested against the current marketed product Tricor in healthy human volunteers, the new formulation was shown to be equivalent to Tricor.
