The Uptake of Novel Therapies Will Drive the Obesity Drug Market to Increase More than Six-Fold to Over $3.2 Billion in 2018

The report also finds that the absence of cannabinoid receptor-1 antagonists in the marketplace has created enormous opportunity for drugs with other novel mechanisms of action. Owing to safety concerns, the withdrawal of the cannabinoid-1 receptor antagonist rimonabant (Sanofi-Aventis's Acomplia) from the European markets and the compound's failure to gain U.S. regulatory approval has led several major drug companies to discontinue development of obesity drugs in this class.

"Regulatory agencies and physicians have become increasingly concerned about psychiatric side effects following rimonabant's recent with
