Orexigen(R) Therapeutics, Inc. (OREX) announced positive secondary findings from the first of four Phase 3 trials of its lead investigational product Contrave(R) (naltrexone sustained release (SR)/bupropion SR). These data were presented in one oral and two poster presentations at the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) 69th Scientific Sessions in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The oral presentation highlighted the significant improvements in eating control experienced by patients treated with Contrave versus placebo (p< 0.01), as well as previously reported results on the primary weight loss endpoints and measures of cardiometabolic risk. "NB-302 results show that Contrave initiates and sustains weight loss and can improve predictive markers for heart disease such as waist circumference, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol and hsCRP," said Eduardo Dunayevich, Chief Medical Officer, Orexigen Therapeutics. "Furthermore, due to its unique effects on brain reward centers, Contrave may allow patients to better control their eating habits."
