Arena Pharmaceuticals announced today that the company has submitted their application to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing approval for Lorcaserin, Arena’s internally discovered and developed drug candidate for weight management, including weight loss and maintenance of weight loss. The press release indicated the submission is based on an extensive data package from lorcaserin’s clinical development program that includes 18 clinical trials totaling 8,576 patients.
Now the waiting begins to see if the FDA will approve this novel drug.
