More Good News Expected About Obesity Drug Acomplia
More Good News Expected About Obesity Drug Acomplia -- Posted by The Mongolian Death Worm on 06-10-05 06:16
Another round of good news about the obesity drug Acomplia seems likely
to be forthcoming on June 12th when researchers publicly report for the
first time on results of the RIO-Diabetes trial at the American
Diabetes Association's annual scientific meeting in San Diego.
The year-long Rimonabant in Obesity-Diabetes study, a multi-center
trial which enrolled 1,000 obese patients with type 2 diabetes, will be
the last of the four major Acomplia studies to report trial results
before U.S. and European regulators are expected to act on
Sanofi-Aventis' application to bring the drug to market.
In this trial, researchers compared weight-loss, improvements in
metabolic variables, and reduction in cardiovascular risk factors for
obese diabetics who took Acomplia compared to those on a placebo.
RIO-Diabetes, the multicenter, randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled trial of rimonabant in overweight/obese type 2
patients, evaluated weight loss, metabolic variables and cardiovascular
risk reduction; and findings from the Diabetes Prevention Program
follow-up studies indicate that complications can occur even earlier
than we previously thought - well before the actual cut-point for
diagnosing type 2 diabetesRIO-Diabetes, the multicenter, randomized,

RIO-Diabetes trial is slated for a symposium on "Late-Breaking Clinical
Trials" scheduled to be held at 2 pm PDT June 12th.
Researchers have hinted privately to reporters that the results are
consistent with the highly encouraging results from their three studies
reported earlier -- RIO-North America, RIO-Europe and RIO-Lipids.
The fact that the results are going to be presented at the
highest-profile symposium at the American Diabetes Association meeting
-- only weeks after Sanofi filed for approval of the drug with the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration and European regulators -- also strongly
suggests more positive news is forthcoming
