Yesterday some services were recommending the stock based on the BLOOM trial that was published in the NEJM with an associated editorial.<g>
The editorial pointed out that lorcaserin has slightly less than or equal efficacy to Orlistat and slightly less efficacy than Meridia (sibutramine).
However, its safety profile appears to be better than that of Xenical (orlistat) or sibutramine and that could justify the approval for lorcaserin. The drug also appears to result in improvement of all surrogate measures of diabetes and cardiovascular risk.
Althogh that effect was not very relevant, it is important with the recent problems with rosiglitazone, and since sibutramine did not demonstrated negative cardiovascular outcome in the SCOUT trial.

The results of the SCOUT trial were presented at the International Obestity conference in Stockholm.

The ACTAY has been increased to $6.15
As mentioned, it seems that the stock could get to test its Feb2009 H at $7.43 or even get to the $10 level.<g>
