In the report, the analyst notes:
"VVUS's Qnexa is currently under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review for the treatment of obesity. Qnexa is a once-a-day, proprietary, oral, controlled-release formulation of low dose phentermine and topiramate, which is believed to address both appetite and satiety - the two main mechanisms that impact eating behavior - in one capsule ...
"The Company in September said patients taking the highest dose of Qnexa lost an average of 26 pounds, or 11.4% of their body weight, while those taking a placebo had weight loss of 2.5%. The results came in better than the previously reported one-year weight loss of 10.4%."
