Objective

This is a long-term extension trial to study the safety and tolerability of continued setmelanotide treatment in patients who have completed a previous clinical trial on treatment with setmelanotide for obesity associated with genetic defects upstream of the MC4 receptor in the leptin-melanocortin pathway.

Description

The primary objectives of this extension trial are to explore the long-term safety and tolerability of setmelanotide for up to 5 years or until drug is otherwise available through authorized use. Patients can enter this protocol immediately upon completion of their index protocol such that dosing of setmelanotide continues without gaps in therapy.
