Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-Looking Statements
This
presentation
contains
forward-looking
statements
about
Orexigen
Therapeutics,
Inc.
Words
such
as
“believes,”
“anticipates,”
“plans,”
“expects,”
“will,”
“intends,”
“potential,”
“assuming”
and
similar
expressions
are
intended
to
identify
forward-looking
statements.
These
statements
are
based
on
Orexigen’s
current
beliefs
and
expectations.
These
forward-looking
statements
include
statements
regarding
the
potential
for,
and
timing
of,
approval
of
the
Contrave
®
New
Drug
Application
(NDA)
and
an
NDA
submission
for
Empatic™;
the
efficacy
and
safety
of
Contrave
and
Empatic;
Orexigen's
belief
that
Contrave
and
Empatic
may
be
important
and
effective
therapeutic
options
in
the
treatment
of
obesity;
the
potential
for,
timing
of,
cost
and
design
of
a
post-
approval
study
to
evaluate
safety
risks
of
Contrave;
the
potential
milestone
and
royalty
payments
under
the
collaboration
agreement
with
Takeda
Pharmaceutical
Company
Limited;
the
potential
strength
of
Orexigen’s
market
entry
with
Contrave,
if
approved;
and
Orexigen’s
plans
to
commence
strategic
collaboration
and/or
co-promotion
discussions
with
respect
to
Empatic
and
outside
of
the
United
States,
Contrave.
The
inclusion
of
forward-looking
statements
should
not
be
regarded
as
a
representation
by
Orexigen
that
any
of
its
plans
will
be
achieved.
Actual
results
may
differ
from
those
set
forth
in
this
presentation
due
to
the
risk
and
uncertainties
inherent
in
Orexigen’s
business,
including,
without
limitation:
the
potential
for
the
U.S.
Food
and
Drug
Administration
(FDA)
to
delay
the
scheduled
Prescription
Drug
User
Fee
Act
action
date
of
January
31,
2011
due
to
the
FDA’s
internal
resource
constraints
or
other
reasons;
the
uncertainty
of
the
FDA
approval
process
and
other
regulatory
requirements;
the
uncertainty
of
the
process
with
the
FDA
to
agree
on
and
finalize
a
design
for
a
post-approval
study
to
evaluate
safety
risks
of
Contrave;
the
FDA
may
not
agree
with
Orexigen’s
interpretation
of
efficacy
and
safety
results;
the
FDA
may
require
Orexigen
to
complete
additional
clinical,
non-clinical
or
other
requirements
prior
to
the
approval
of
the
Contrave
NDA
or
the
submission
of
an
NDA
for
Empatic;
the
therapeutic
and
commercial
value
of
Contrave
and
Empatic;
reliance
on
third
parties
to
assist
with
the
development
of
Contrave
and
Empatic;
the
potential
for
adverse
safety
findings
relating
to
Contrave
or
Empatic
to
delay
or
prevent
regulatory
approval
or
commercialization;
Orexigen’s
ability
to
enter
into
additional
collaboration
or
co-promotion
arrangements;
and
other
risks
described
in
Orexigen’s
filings
with
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(SEC),
including
those
detailed
under
the
heading
“Risk
Factors”
in
Orexigen’s
periodic
filings
with
the
SEC.
