Die FDA hat noch nicht dagegen gestimmt, jedoch das Advisory Board, welches aus Medizinern unterschiedlicher Disziplinen besteht.
Die FDA stimmt erst im Oktober endgültig darüber ab und muss nicht nicht an das Votum von gestern halten - trotzdem ist die Zulassung weniger wahrscheinlich damit geworden.
Ich habe Vivus bei 9,00 Euro (+120 %) vor 2-3 Wochen verkauft, weil ich sowas schon erlebt habe und bin stattdessen bei Arena eingstiegen. Wer sich ein wenig mehr mit diesen Dietpillen befasst hatt in den vergangenen Wochen wusste, dass es knapp werdne würde, weil das Vivus Präparat zwar die höchste Effizienz auswies jedoch auch die meisten Nebenwirkungen.
Bei den beiden Konkurrenten sieht es dagegen besser aus, weniger effizient (aber ausreichend) dafür weniger Nebenwirkungen.
Ich empfehle allen Investierten sich mehr auf US-Internetseiten wie yahoo.finance oder Seeking Alpha zu informieren. Dort gibt es einfach wesentlich mehr Infos zu amerkanischen Firmen, Interviews und natürlich viele Meinungen. Viele haben bei Vivus gehofft, dass es klappt aber es gab dort auch genügend warnende Stimmen.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 15, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- VIVUS, Inc. /quotes/comstock/15*!vvus/quotes/nls/vvus (VVUS 12.11, 0.00, 0.00%) today announced that the Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted against the following question: "Based on the current available data, do you believe the overall benefit-risk assessment of PHEN/TPM (QNEXA) is favorable to support its approval for the treatment of obesity in individuals with a BMI > 30 kg/m2 or > 27 kg/m2 with weight-related co-morbidities?" The three co-morbidities included hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia.
The vote from the Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee is a recommendation. The FDA will take the Committee's recommendation into consideration during its review of the current application and will make a determination. The FDA may or may not follow the Committee's recommendation.
"We appreciate the Advisory Committee's recognition of obesity as a significant health crisis, and the challenges associated with the treatment of this disease," stated Leland Wilson, chief executive officer, VIVUS. "We are disappointed with the Advisory Committee's vote. While the final vote was close, and we are encouraged that the Committee recognized the efficacy demonstrated in the QNEXA clinical trials, we will work closely with the FDA leading up to our October 28, 2010 PDUFA date to address the labeling and safety questions raised during today's proceedings. We remain committed to patients living with obesity and weight-related disease."

Das Arena gleich in Sippenhaft genommen wird,hätte ich so eigentlich nicht erwartet.
Schließlich verfügt Lorcaserin über ein anderes Wirkstoffspectrum,und hat zuletzt in
Langzeitstudien keine Nebenwirkungen gezeigt.Im Gegensatz zu Qunexa.
Am 16 Sept.sind wir schlauer,dann muß Arena/Lorcaserin vors Board.
Weißt Du,ob das Board immer neu besetzt wird,oder entscheiden die gleichen Mitglieder
wie bei Qunexa?
Da das Board,wie von Dir beschrieben mehr die Nebenwirkungen als den Nutzen beurteilt,sehe ich für Arena bessere Chancen,außer es wird so ein Gleichheitskamm
angelegt.Gruß Wilbär.

Analysts at Brean Murray Carret cut their view to hold from buy, citing lowered revenue
Abwarten und beobachten...Diese PanelMeetings sind in letzter Zeit doch ganz schön unberechenbar geworden...

VIVUS Provides Regulatory Update on QNEXA
Agreement Reached with FDA to Re-Submit QNEXA NDA Prior to Completion of FORTRESS
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- VIVUS, Inc. VVUS +9.62% today announced that following a recent teleconference it has reached agreement with officials of the Endocrine and Metabolic Division of the Food and Drug Administration on a plan that allows for an early resubmission of the QNEXA New Drug Application for the treatment of obesity. The resubmission plan allows VIVUS to seek approval for an initial indication that includes obese men and women of non-child bearing potential. Based on this agreement, VIVUS intends to resubmit the QNEXA NDA by the end of October 2011, prior to completion of the FORTRESS study. Top-line results from FORTRESS are expected in December 2011, with validation of FORTRESS expected in the third quarter of 2012. The FDA also stated that an Advisory Committee meeting for QNEXA will be held in the first quarter of 2012.
"Recent epidemiology study results, which show that topiramate is not a major teratogen, were an important consideration in our plan to resubmit the QNEXA NDA ahead of the FORTRESS results. The planned October resubmission will also allow for an early 2012 Advisory Committee meeting and a second quarter 2012 PDUFA date," commented Peter Y. Tam, president of VIVUS. "In this initial indication, we plan to include a contraindication for women of childbearing potential. We believe this is a sound approach that, if approved, will potentially allow early commercialization in a higher-risk population with a significant unmet medical need. The FORTRESS study remains important in our plan to more precisely define the teratogenic potential of topiramate and may enable us to expand the indication to include obese women of child-bearing potential. If the FORTRESS results are favorable, we expect to file for the full indication in late 2012."
According to the CDC, over 108 million adult Americans are estimated to have a BMI >30 (obese) or BMI >27 (overweight) with at least one weight-related health risk, such as diabetes, hypertension or dyslipidemia. Of these, over three-quarters, or an estimated 80 million adults, are men and women of non-childbearing potential who are at an increased risk of developing obesity-related cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.
"Topiramate teratogencity data published and presented since our last meeting with the FDA in April 2011 includes two case-control studies utilizing the CDC's National Birth Defects Prevention Study and the Slone Epidemiology Birth Defect Study presented at the 27th International Conference on Pharmacoepidemiology and Therapeutic Risk Management in Chicago; and the Wolters Kluwer Study presented at International Epilepsy Congress in Rome. In addition, a birth defect study from Denmark on Newer Generation Antiepileptic Drugs including topiramate was published in JAMA. In all of these studies, the authors concluded that topiramate was not a major teratogen," commented Wesley Day, vice-president clinical development. "The conclusions reached in all of these studies were instrumental in the development of the QNEXA NDA resubmission plan."
