Patients with BBS aged ≥6 years were eligible for this observational long-term extension (LTE) trial (NCT03651765) if they completed an index trial in which they received setmelanotide and demonstrated clinical benefit and acceptable safety as determined by the investigator.
The current analysis reports outcomes after ∼1 year of additional setmelanotide administration during the LTE trial, relative to index trial baseline.
