Setmelanotide for the Treatment of Leptin Receptor (LEPR) Deficiency Obesity
NCT0328796030 Jan 2018 to 25 Sept 2020
Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.
To demonstrate statistically significant and clinically meaningful effects of setmelanotide on percent body weight change in participants with LEPR deficiency obesity due to rare bi-allelic or loss-of function mutations at the end of 1 year of treatment.
Experimental
Setmelanotide
Participants received titrated doses of setmelanotide once daily, by SC injection during titration period for 2 - 12 weeks. Thereafter, participants continued setmelanotide at their specific therapeutic dose for an additional 10 weeks during the open label treatment period. Participants who achieved at least a 5 kg weight loss (or at least 5% weight loss if baseline body weight was \<100 kg) at the end of the open label treatment period, continued into the 8-week double-blind withdrawal period and received 4 weeks setmelanotide and 4 weeks placebo. Following the withdrawal period, participants entered open label treatment period and received setmelanotide to complete approximately 52 weeks (\~1 year) of treatment at a therapeutic dose.
Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.
Percentage of Participants Who Reached ≥10% Weight Loss Threshold After 1 Year (Pivotal Cohort)
Time frame · Week 52
The percentage of participants who met the ≥10% weight loss threshold (responders) after approximately Week 52 (\~1 year) of treatment were analyzed.
Percentage of Participants Who Reached ≥10% Weight Loss Threshold After 1 Year (Pivotal + Supplemental Cohort)
Time frame · Week 52
The percentage of participants who met the ≥10% weight loss threshold (responders) after approximately Week 52 (\~1 year) of treatment were analyzed.
Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Body Weight
Time frame · Baseline and Week 52
The mean percent change from baseline in body weight at 52 weeks was analyzed.
Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Hunger Score ('Most Hunger')
Time frame · Baseline and Week 52
The mean percent change in hunger scores for participants ≥12 years of age with leptin receptor (LEPR) deficiency obesity in treatment with setmelanotide was evaluated. Hunger score ranged from 0 - 10 on a Likert-type scale; 0 = not hungry at all and 10 = hungriest possible. On the Daily Hunger Questionnaire, each of the 3 items (average hunger, most/worst hunger, and morning hunger) was scored separately and averaged on a weekly basis.
Percentage of Participants Achieving at Least 25% Improvement in Daily Hunger From Baseline
Time frame · Baseline and Week 52
The percentage of participants (≥12 years of age) achieving a ≥25% improvement from baseline in hunger score at Week 52 (i.e., after treatment with setmelanotide for 52 weeks at the therapeutic dose) was assessed. Hunger ranged from 0 - 10 on a Likert-type scale; 0 = not hungry at all and 10 = hungriest possible. On the Daily Hunger Questionnaire, each of the 3 items (average hunger, most/worst hunger, and morning hunger) was scored separately and averaged on a weekly basis.
Absolute Change From Baseline in Waist Circumference
Time frame · Baseline and Week 52
Waist circumference (cm) was measured according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) criteria. Waist circumference was measured when participants were fasting at approximately the same time at each visit. The absolute change from baseline in waist circumference was assessed.
Absolute Change in Body Weight (Reversal of Weight Loss) During Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Withdrawal Period
Time frame · Baseline and Week 8 of withdrawal period
A comparison of weight change was evaluated during the 8 week placebo-controlled withdrawal period for each participant, during which each participant received 4 weeks of placebo and 4 weeks active therapy in a blinded fashion.
Absolute Daily Hunger Reduction Score During the Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Withdrawal Period
Time frame · Week 8 of withdrawal period
The absolute score in daily hunger reduction during the double-blind placebo-controlled withdrawal period (≥12 Years of Age) was assessed. Hunger ranged from 0 - 10 on a Likert-type scale; 0 = not hungry at all and 10 = hungriest possible. On the Daily Hunger Questionnaire, each of the 3 items (average hunger, most/worst hunger, and morning hunger) was scored separately and averaged on a weekly basis. The weekly average hunger score of the daily worst (most) hunger score in 24 hours is the hunger score used to assess this study endpoint. Lower scores represent lower hunger, higher scores represent greater hunger.
Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Body Mass Index
Time frame · Baseline and Week 52
The mean percent change from baseline in body mass index (BMI) was assessed.
Change From Baseline in Glucose Parameters
Time frame · Baseline and Week 52
Glucose parameters included glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Data is planned to be reported only for change from baseline in glucose levels.
