Arena Pharmaceuticals Announces First Quarter 2009 Financial Results
Date:5/11/2009

he American Diabetes Association scheduled for June 5-9, 2009 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

  • Announced positive top-line results from BLOOM. Lorcaserin was highly efficacious, achieving statistical significance (p<0.0001 vs. placebo) on all three co-primary efficacy endpoints (>5% categorical, absolute, and >10% categorical weight loss). The BLOOM results also satisfy the efficacy benchmark in the most recent US Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, draft guidance for the development of drugs for weight management. Treatment with lorcaserin was generally very well tolerated. Lorcaserin treatment for up to two years was not associated with evidence of heart valve damage; rates for the development of echocardiographic FDA-defined valvulopathy were similar to placebo throughout the study. Arena is on track to report results from the second pivotal trial, BLOSSOM (Behavioral modification and LOrcaserin Second Study for Obesity Management), by the end of September 2009.

  • Committed to a reduction in Arena's US workforce of approximately 31%, or a total of approximately 130 employees, which is expected to be substantially completed by June 22, 2009. As a result of this workforce reduction, Arena expects to incur cash charges, primarily in the second quarter of 2009, of approximately $3.0 million in connection with one-time employee termination costs, including severance and other benefits. This workforce reduction is expected to result in annual operating cost savings of approximately $25.0 million.

  • Received aggregate net proceeds of $14.6 million under a $50.0 million equity financing commitment entered into in March 2009 with Azimuth. During the 18-month term of the equity financing commitment, Arena may sell newly issued registered shares of its com
