Patients aged ≥6 years with obesity due to heterozygous variants in POMC, PCSK1, and LEPR were eligible for this long-term extension (LTE) trial (NCT03651765) after completing an index trial in which they received SET and demonstrated clinical benefit and acceptable safety as determined by the investigator.
The current analysis reports outcomes after 1 year total of SET treatment across the index and LTE trials, relative to index trial baseline.
