Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA) Rough Share Price Target if Approved

Zacks Premium FULL ACCESS Membership – 30-day free trial

I have gotten a lot of questions about a target price for Arena or the market share for their drug Lorcaserin if it gets approved. I’ll be honest, I haven’t done a lot of due diligence into the pricing that Arena was looking to put on the drug, but previously I had done an analysis on Vivus for what kind of revenues that company might be expecting. » Read more: Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA) Rough Share Price Target if Approved

Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA): Update Part IV

July 22nd, 2010

Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA):

So yesterday I pulled a quote from Athersys SEC filings in which they directly criticized Lorcaserin’s selectivity to the 5HT2c receptors. But Athersys isn’t exactly being truthful with its investors because in fact Arena’s Lorcaserin shows extremely high selectivity to the 5HT2c receptor. Arena’s drug actually shows an 18 fold increase in selectivity towards 5HT2c than 5HT2a and a 104 fold increase in selectivity towards 5HT2c over 5HT2b. » Read more: Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA): Update Part IV

Arena Pharma ceuticals, Orexigen therapeutics, and Vivus Inc.

Alright pharma investors, today I have put together a brief cross comparison of efficacy statistics from the three competing obesity drug companies: Arena, Vivus, and Orexigen. Before I go any further I would like to point out that the data marked with a ** in the Orexigen portion of the analysis is from the “Intent to Treat Population,” which is a touchy measurement subject in Pharma analysis. » Read more: Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA) vs. Vivus Inc (VVUS) vs. Orexigen Therapeutics (OREX)

Arena Pharmaceuticals: Locraserin and the Fallen Competitors: Analysis Part III

Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA):

So before I get into this part of the Arena Lorcaserin analysis, I have decided to address a question that I actually receive a lot from investors new to pharma trading. I try to stay away from trading strategies as often as I can on my website, but I am often asked a lot about where I learned some of my valuation techniques and usually in the context of options pricing (this is because there is a ton of money to be made » Read more: Arena Pharmaceuticals: Locraserin and the Fallen Competitors: Analysis Part III

FDA Weight Loss Guidance Explained Arena, Vivus, Orexigen

Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA), Vivus Inc. (VVUS), Orexigen Therapeutics (OREX)

Before I start I would like to point out that I have added a Amazon Store link on my website. The reason for the link is that in order to keep publishing my site for free I have to find ways to bring in additional revenues. So whenever you search Amazon from GekkoWire.com (here) and make a purchase some of the proceeds go to help support the site. This allows me to continue to keep bringing my readers all of the valuable Pharma Information for FREE! The prices are the same from my Amazon search engine, so you have nothing to lose! So remember if you have to make a purchase from Amazon, search for the products from here first, because it goes to support the site! Thanks for all of your help!

So I have gotten a lot of questions about what the actual guidance is from the FDA in regards to Weight Loss Drugs. Most of these questions stem from the lack of clarity of what the FDA wants to establish as the safety and efficacy of the drug. » Read more: FDA Weight Loss Guidance Explained Arena, Vivus, Orexigen
