The complaint alleges that as part of the FDA's post-marketing approval process for its drug Contrave, Orexigen was required to conduct a "new ... study to evaluate the effects of long-term treatment with Contrave on the incidence of [major adverse cardiac events] in overweight and obese subjects with [cardiovascular] disease or multiple [cardiovascular] risk factors." The complaint alleges that on March 3, 2015, Orexigen disclosed detailed interim results of its ongoing study despite the fact that the Company had been previously admonished by the FDA for inappropriately releasing interim study data. On March 5, 2015, a report published by Forbes quoted a purported FDA official as saying the interim data from the study was probably "unreliable" and "misleading" and suggesting that Orexigen could "face fines, civil penalties, or even the withdrawal of Contrave from the market."
