Brief summary

APD356-A001-402 is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group pilot study of 12-week duration in overweight and obese adults. Approximately 225 subjects will be randomized to one of three treatment arms in a ratio 1:1:1 and will receive the combinations of lorcaserin 10 mg twice daily (BID) plus immediate-release phentermine-HCl 15 mg BID or 15 mg once daily (QD), or lorcaserin alone.

Detailed description

All subjects will take lorcaserin and phentermine-HCl/placebo once in the morning and again in the mid-afternoon. The dosing is timed to help reduce potential insomnia due to phentermine. Subjects in Arm A will take one tablet twice daily of lorcaserin 10 mg in combination with one capsule twice daily of phentermine placebo. Subjects in Arm B will take one tablet twice daily of lorcaserin 10 mg, one capsule of phentermine-HCl 15 mg once daily in the morning, and one capsule of phentermine placebo once daily in the mid-afternoon. Subjects in Arm C will take one tablet twice daily of lorcaserin 10 mg in combination with one capsule twice daily of phentermine-HCl 15 mg. Subjects will be instructed to take lorcaserin tablets and phentermine/placebo capsules concurrently and attempt to remain on a consistent daily schedule. The study will recruit obese (body mass index \[BMI\] greater than or equal to 30 kg/m2) subjects with or without a weight-related comorbid condition (e.g., hypertension, dyslipidemia, or sleep apnea) or overweight (BMI greater than or equal to 27 to 29.9 kg/m2) subjects with at least one weight-related co-morbid condition. At least one third of the subjects will have a BMI of 40 kg/m2 or greater, because there is a high likelihood that this combination therapy will be used by these subjects in medical practice. A lifestyle intervention program, using a 12-week adaptation of the Arena Healthy Lifestyles Program, including diet and exercise counseling, will be implemented for obesity/overweight. Blood sampling will be performed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of lorcaserin and phentermine using population PK modeling as well as the potential relationships between exposure to the lorcaserin/phentermine and measures of safety and change from baseline in body weight, using population PK/PD (pharmacodynamics) modeling.

Use of St. John's Wort within 1 month prior to the Screening Visit and for the duration of the study. St. John's Wort has been associated with serotonin syndrome when used with another serotonergic drug. 7. Hypersensitivity to sympathomimetic amines or the study drugs. 8. History of stroke, transient ischemic attack, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, and/or peripheral vascular disease. 9. Recent history of active cardiovascular disease, including chronic stable angina or an unstable angina episode or myocardial infarction within the 3 months prior to the Screening Visit. 10. Uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 150 or diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 95 on 2 readings taken on different days. Subjects who have uncontrolled hypertension at screening may be re-screened greater than 1 month following initiation or adjustment of antihypertensive therapy. 11. History of or active pulmonary artery hypertension. 12.

Females who are lactating or pregnant at Screening or Baseline Visit (as documented by a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a minimum sensitivity of 25 IU/L or equivalent units of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin \[B-hCG\]). A separate baseline assessment is required if a negative screening pregnancy test was obtained more than 72 hours before the first dose of study drug. 30. All females will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless they are postmenopausal (amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months, in the appropriate age group and without other known or suspected cause) or have been sterilized surgically (i.e., bilateral tubal ligation, total hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy, all with surgery at least one month before dosing). 31. Females of childbearing potential must not have had unprotected sexual intercourse within 30 days before study entry and must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception (e.g., total abstinence, an intrauterine device, a double-barrier method \[such as condom plus diaphragm with spermicide\], a contraceptive implant, an oral contraceptive, or have a vasectomized partner with confirmed azoospermia) throughout the entire study period and for 30 days after study drug discontinuation. If currently abstinent, the subject must agree to use a double barrier method as described above if she becomes sexually active during the study period or for 30 days after study drug discontinuation. Females who are using hormonal contraceptives must have been on a stable dose of the same hormonal contraceptive product for at least 4 weeks before dosing and must continue to use the same contraceptive during the study and for 30 days after study drug discontinuation. Females not meeting these criteria will be excluded from the study. 32. Any medical or other condition that in the opinion of the investigator(s) would preclude the subject's participation in a clinical study, such as significantly abnormal laboratory results or any physical or mental condition that prevents compliance with the protocol.
