Axovant Sciences(AXON) is the main event in biotech’s September cavalcade of clinical trial readouts, but while we wait, it’s a good idea to prep for important — and stock-moving — data releases from Zogenix(ZGNX) and Amicus Therapeutics(FOLD).

You might remember fenfluramine as part of the “fen-phen” obesity regimen that was pulled from the market in 1997 because fenfluramine (at a higher dose) caused severe damage to people’s heart valves.
