Is 3% weight loss SIGNIFICANT? Qnexa vs Phentermine math

Why is FDA biased?

Is 3% weight loss SIGNIFICANT? Qnexa vs Phentermine math

"PHEN/TPM achieved significantly greater weight loss compared to its components"

Now check slide 6 from FDAs presentation

http://www.fda.gov/downloads/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/Drugs/EndocrinologicandMetabolicDrugsAdvisoryCommittee/UCM227050.pdf

Mid dose(7.5/46 mg)
      LS Mean % loss for Qnexa        - 8.5
      LS Mean % loss for Phentermine  - 5.5
-----------------------------------------------------
      LS Mean % loss difference       - 3.0
-----------------------------------------------------

High dose (15/92 mg)
      LS Mean % loss for Qnexa        - 9.2
      LS Mean % loss for Phentermine  - 6.1
-----------------------------------------------------
      LS Mean % loss difference       - 3.1
-----------------------------------------------------

Do your math for Topiramate and now answer, do you get the picture?

Lorqess a novel compound has 3.8% mean adjusted weight loss compared to placebo arm with clean safety profile.

How can FDA not see this? If they do see, why are they biased? Is 3% considered SIGNIFICANT or "SLIM MARGIN"?
