Regardless, there seems to be quit a few drugs in the works lately for obesity, but there is no guarantee that any will make it through. The FDA has not been to favorable to obesity medications as of late due to some of the side effects being reported, the fact that Rimonabant was pulled from the EU etc... And don't be fooled into thinking that phase 2 studies give anything the 'all clear'. Phase 3 are really what is needed to indicate if it looks promising or not.
