Date:10/29/2009

the overall percent weight loss in the EQUIP study was 11% for patients on full dose Qnexa, as compared to 1.6% for the placebo group."

Also included in the presentation were discontinuation rates for cognitive events. Overall, these rates were low and the events were generally mild to moderate and reversible with discontinuation of treatment. There was one severe event in the treatment arm and one in the placebo arm that led to discontinuation. Specifically, the discontinuation rates for various cognitive-related events were as follows:
