Weight Management is Not Enough for Cannabinoid Type 1 (CB1),Receptor Antagonists to Become a Commercial Success

Huge clinical development program of first-in-class CB1 antagonist rimonabant to show benefits beyond weight reduction and avoid image as life-style drug

BARCELONA, Spain | March 08, 2007 | The Business Intelligence firm La Merie S.L. reported today that Sanofi-Aventis’ first-in-class CB1 antagonist Acomplia (rimonabant) has at least five competitors in clinical stages up to phase III and many more in earlier phases of R&D. While Acomplia received EU approval in June 2006, the FDA requested more time to review the file. Acomplia is indicated for the treatment of patients with obesity or overweight plus cardiometabolic risk factors and achieved EU sales of € 31 mln in its first months in selected markets. However, some countries such as Germany consider Acomplia as a non-reimbursable life-style drug. Sanofi-Aventis is undertaking a huge clinical program to profile Acomplia in additional populations such as in type 2 diabetes (1st line), insulinized patients, dyslipidemia or atherosclerosis. Another field of potential use of CB1 antagonists lies in neuroscience, such as addiction and cognitive disorders. These results and more were found in a search conducted by La Merie Business Intelligence. The competitor analysis of CB1 antagonists can be acquired at www.pipelinereview.com, La Merie’s News Center and Online Store.

Rimonabant has been studied in more than 6,000 patients. Results of the RIO-LIPIDS study showed that a one-year treatment of overweight and obese patients with abnormal lipid levels with once daily rimonabant significantly reduced body weigth by an average of 6.9 kg in comparison to a loss of 1.5 kg in the placebo group. More importantly, it improved a range of cardiometabolic risk factors that may contribute to type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Results of a two-year treatment with rimonabant in the RIO-
