In Brief

A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Setmelanotide and Placebo for Hypothalamic Obesity. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 143 participants across 28 sites in 6 countries.

Detailed Summary

The goal of this trial is to learn how well Setmelanotide works to improve weight reduction, hunger, and quality of life in patients 4 years of age and older with acquired Hypothalamic Obesity (HO). To determine how well setmelanotide works and how safe it is, patients with HO will take a daily injection of either setmelanotide or placebo and complete trial assessments for 52 weeks on a therapeutic regimen. A separate sub-study in patients with congenital HO is detailed under NCT06760546.
