VVUS: Reports Positive Phase 2 Clinical Trial Results w/Qnexa
VIVUS, Inc. (VVUS) announced positive results from a 200-patient, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of Qnexa(TM), an investigational oral treatment for obesity. In the study conducted by Duke University Medical Center, more than 50% of obese patients in the Qnexa treatment group experienced 10% or more total body weight loss during the 24-week study period. Mean weight loss on an intent-to-treat (ITT) basis in the Qnexa group was 25.1 lbs., compared to 4.8 lbs in the placebo group (p<0.0001). Importantly, the rate of weight loss for patients in the Qnexa group had not plateaued by the end of the study. Qnexa was well-tolerated with a study completion rate of 92% versus a completion rate of 62% for the placebo group.
