Long Term Extension Trial of Setmelanotide
brief summary
This was a long-term extension trial to study the safety and tolerability of continued setmelanotide treatment in participants who had completed a previous clinical trial on treatment with setmelanotide for obesity associated with genetic defects upstream of the Melanocortin-4 (MC4) receptor in the leptin-melanocortin pathway.
detailed description
The primary objectives of this extension trial were to explore the long-term safety and tolerability of setmelanotide for up to 7 years or until drug was otherwise available through authorized use. Participants entered this protocol immediately upon completion of their index protocol such that dosing of setmelanotide continued without gaps in therapy.
