Obesity

Obesity is a Chronic Disease
• Long-term therapy is required for successful long-term weight management.
• Drugs do not cure obesity
• Drugs do not work when they are not taken
![Page 5: Future Role of Pharmacotherapy for Obesity Management VT Chetty MD FRCPC MSc Associate Prof McMaster University Medical Director Bariatric Clinic, HGH](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b95324/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Drugs cause Modest Weight Loss
• Weight loss of 5%–10% of total body weight is considered clinically important

Comparison with other chronic diseases
1. Newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes and hypertension respond very well to diet and exercise - but the primary treatments are drugs
2. The primary treatment for obesity is diet and exercise, drugs are an “adjunct”. Many patients must demonstrate that they have failed D&E before getting drugs or surgery

FDA 2007 draft guidance
Primary efficacy criteria (one of the following)• 5% greater (statistically significant) weight loss
than placebo at 1 year.• At least 35% patients achieving 5% weight loss
on drug and approximately double the proportion in the placebo-treated group.
Sample size• 3000 randomized to active dose of drug and no
fewer than 1500 on placebo for 1 year.

Emerging antiobesity drugs
• Drugs reporting phase III results• Lorcaserin (Arena)• Phentermine + topiramate (Vivus)• Bupropion + naltrexone (Orixegen)
![Page 20: Future Role of Pharmacotherapy for Obesity Management VT Chetty MD FRCPC MSc Associate Prof McMaster University Medical Director Bariatric Clinic, HGH](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b95324/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Lorcaserin
• Activation of 5-HT2C receptor decreases food intake via POMC neurons.
• Fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were agonists of both 5-HT2C and 5-HT2B.
• Selective 5-HT2C agonist.

Lorcaserin – main results
• Two phase III trials – BLOOM (2 yrs) and BLOSSOM (1yr)
• Weight change at 1 yr• -5.8% (lorcaserin 10 mg bid) vs -2.5%
(placebo)• 5% weight loss – 47%
• FDA defined valvulopathy• RR 1.07 (0.74, 1.55)

Lorcaserin – FDA advisory committee meeting• Concerns
• Neoplams in rats (breast, brain, and other regions)
• Psychiatric and cognitive AEs
• Vote for approval• Yes = 5
• No = 9
• May 2012 voted 18-4 to recommend approval of benefits "outweigh the potential risks when used long term" in overweight and obese people.

Phentermine + topiramate
• Phentermine available since 1959 for short-term treatment of obesity.
• Topiramate has been well studied for obesity.– Consistently demonstrated dose-dependent weight loss efficacy
in numerous trials ranging from 6 months to more than a year in obese and overweight patients with and without type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
– Reduction of BP and improvement of glycaemic control.– Neuropsychiatric adverse events have hindered its further
development for treatment of obesity.

PHEN/TPM – FDA advisory committee meeting
• Concerns• Teratogenicity with TPM in patients treated for
epilepsy• Psychiatric (depression, anxiety) and cognitive AEs• Decreased serum bicarbonate and potential
implications • Increase in heart rate (0.6 bpm for mid-dose, 1.6 bpm
for high-dose)
• Vote for approval• Yes = 6• No = 10

• Vivus Inc., the manufacturer of Qnexa, submitted new data on the drug's psychiatric and cardiovascular side effects and an FDA advisory committee endorsed approval by a 20-2 vote in February.
• The FDA is expected to make a decision in July.

Bupropion + naltrexone
• Bupropion, primarily norepinephrine uptake inhibitor, is marked for treatment of depression and as a smoking cessation aid.
• Bupropion showed modest weight loss efficacy in three obesity trials.1
• Naltrexone, an opioid receptor antagonist, is marketed to treat alcoholism and opioid addiction.
• Animal studies suggest pharmacodynamic synergy.2

Conclusions• Obesity is a chronic disease
• Modest weight loss (5% -10% of body weight) can have considerable medical benefits
• Lifestyle change (diet and physical activity) is the cornerstone of therapy
• Pharmacotherapy can be useful in properly selected patients
