  2. Background and Objectives • Obesity is increasing at an alarming rate in developed countries; 34% in the US population have BMI >30. • Abdominal obesity is associated with specific metabolic abnormalities that increase the risk of CAD. • Rimonabant, a cannabinoid receptor (CB1) antagonist, enhances weight loss and improves obesity-related metabolic abnormalities. • We sought to determine if rimonabant could reduce progression of coronary atherosclerosis measuredby IVUS in abdominally-obese CAD patients.

  3. Methods • Patients selected with abdominal obesity (definedas waist >102 cm for men or >88 cm for women) undergoing angiography for clinical indications. • Inclusion criteria required two additional risk factors of the metabolic syndrome or current smoking. • Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was performed to assess atheroma volume in 839 patients randomized to placebo or rimonabant 20 mg. • After 18 months, repeat IVUS was performed in the 676 patients who remained in the trial, regardlessof whether they were still taking study drug.

  16. Conclusions • Treatment of abdominally-obese coronary disease patients for 18 months with rimonabant: • Reduced body weight 4.3 kg and waist circumference4.5 cm, increased HDL-C 22.4%, reduced triglycerides 20.5%, hsCRP 50.3%, and favorably affected HbA1c. • The study did not demonstrate an effect for rimonabant on the primary endpoint, PAV (P = 0.22), but a favorable effect for the secondary endpoint, TAV (P = 0.03). • Psychiatric and GI adverse effects were more common with rimonabant, which resulted in a higher rate of drug discontinuation.

  17. Some Final Thoughts Development of effective and durable treatment strategies for management obesity has provena daunting challenge. New approaches are greatly needed to reduce the burdens of this global epidemic and its metabolic consequences. We believe CB1 inhibition shows promise for treatment of obesity-related atherosclerotic disease, but its benefits will need to be confirmed in additional trials, which are currently underway.
