You guys may want to watch Orexigen Therapeutics, OREX, another company in the obesity space. They had what I consider a very powerful presentation today at the JPMorgan Healthcare conference in SF. Here is a link to the slides.

The market research for their drug was very powerful IMHO. The drug candidate was formerly called Contrave but now is called NB32 due to the fact that they want the commercial name of the drug to be Contrave (ie FDA rule).

There has been a checkered development history of this drug, due to the FDA wanting to them to perform a cardiovascular outcomes trial. This data is not entirely public yet, but has been submitted to the FDA and there will be a drug review by the FDA on June 10, 2014. My bet is that the stock will run up into this meeting time frame.
