The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a single dose of RM-493. The study drug (RM-493 and placebo) will be administered subcutaneously in a blinded fashion.
Studying: Bardet Biedl Syndrome (BBS), Alström Syndrome (AS) · NCT03746522
About this trial
This pivotal, phase 3 study is designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of setmelanotide, a potent melanocortin receptor type 4 (MC4R) agonist, for the treatment of obesity and hyperphagia in participants with Bardet Biedl syndrome (BBS) or Alström syndrome (AS). The study's primary efficacy endpoint is to evaluate the proportion of participants (≥ 12 years of age at baseline) who lose ≥ 10% of their baseline body weight following approximately (\~) 52 weeks of treatment with setmelanotide compared to a historical control rate.
Studying: Prader-Willi Syndrome · NCT02311673
About this trial
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a once daily subcutaneous injectable formulation of setmelanotide in obese participants with Prader-Willi syndrome on tolerability, weight loss, and hyperphagia-related behavior. The study drug (setmelanotide and placebo) was administered in a blinded fashion.
Studying: Bardet-Biedl Syndrome, POMC Deficiency · NCT05194124
About this trial
A trial to compare the weekly and daily formulations of setmelanotide in participants with genetic defects in the melanocortin-4 receptor pathway.
Studying: Hypothalamic Obesity · NCT04725240
About this trial
Open-label, single-arm study designed to evaluate the body weight response to setmelanotide administered subcutaneously (SC) daily in participants with hypothalamic obesity (HO).
Studying: Leptin Receptor Deficiency Obesity · NCT03287960
About this trial
To demonstrate statistically significant and clinically meaningful effects of setmelanotide on percent body weight change in participants with LEPR deficiency obesity due to rare bi-allelic or loss-of function mutations at the end of 1 year of treatment.
Studying: Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) Deficiency Obesity · NCT02896192
About this trial
To demonstrate statistically significant and clinically meaningful effects of setmelanotide on percent body weight change in participants with pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) deficiency or proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) deficiency obesity due to rare biallelic or loss-of function mutations at the end of 1 year of treatment.
Studying: Bardet-Biedl Syndrome, POMC Deficiency Obesity, PCSK1 Deficiency Obesity, LEPR Deficiency Obesity · NCT04966741
About this trial
This is a phase 3 open-label, clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of setmelanotide over 1 year of treatment, in pediatric participants aged 2 to \<6 years with obesity due to either biallelic variants of the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) or leptin receptor (LEPR) genes or Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS).
Studying: Obesity, Genetic Obesity · NCT05093634
About this trial
The protocol describes a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with independent sub-studies of setmelanotide in patients with obesity and at least one of the specific gene variants in the Melanocortin-4 Receptor pathway:
* POMC or PCSK1 (Sub-study 035a)
* LEPR (Sub-study 035b)
* SRC1 (Sub-study 035c)
* SH2B1 (Sub-study 035d)
The objectives and endpoints are identical for these sub-studies.
Studying: Overweight, Obese · NCT02431442

Studying: Renal Insufficiency · NCT04348175
About this trial
This is a Phase 1, multi-center, open-label, single-dose study designed to assess the effect of renal impairment on the PK of setmelanotide. A total of approximately 32 subjects (approximately 8 subjects in each renal impairment group and 8 healthy subjects with normal renal function) are planned to be enrolled across 4 centers in the United States. At screening, subjects will be assigned to a study group according to eGFR.

Studying: Obesity, Morbid Obesity · NCT01867437
About this trial
Background:
\- RM-493 is a drug that stimulates parts of the brain that control eating and metabolism. It has helped to reduce body weight and improve insulin sensitivity in lab tests. However, it is not fully known whether RM-493 causes weight loss by just decreasing appetite or by increasing metabolism or both. Researchers want to see how RM-493 affects metabolism and hormones that affect the metabolic rate. They also want to see how RM-493 affects appetite by assessing feelings of hunger and fullness. They will study this drug in people who are obese but are otherwise in good health.
