Monday, April 23rd, 2012

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A new clinical trial of Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc’s diet pill, which was turned down last month by U.S. regulators, found that it helped diabetics lose weight, the company said on Tuesday.

The agency also requested that Arena provide results from this latest trial involving 604 obese diabetics.

The trial showed that after a year, 37.5 percent of patients taking a 10 mg dose of lorcaserin twice a day lost at least 5 percent of their body weight, compared with 16.1 percent of patients taking a placebo.

In contrast, the remission rate for type 2 diabetes in obese patients with a BMI of 35 or more was about 75 percent.
