4-Year Setmelanotide Weight Outcomes of Patients with POMC and LEPR Deficiency Obesity
Einleitung Proopiomelanocortin (POMC; including variants in PCSK1) and leptin receptor (LEPR) deficiency are associated with hyperphagia and early-onset, severe obesity. Setmelanotide treatment in this population improved weight-related measures and hunger severity and was well tolerated. We report long-term extension (LTE) outcomes after 4 years of setmelanotide treatment.
Methoden Patients with POMC or LEPR deficiency who achieved clinical benefit and acceptable safety in a prior trial of setmelanotide could enroll in the LTE (NTC03651765) and continue setmelanotide for ≥5 years.
Ergebnisse Twelve patients had 4 years of on-treatment measurements and were included in this analysis. Compared with index trial baseline, the mean (SD) change in body weight was −32.6 kg (36.7) for patients aged ≥18 years (n=8) and −42.7 (22.44) percentage points in %BMI95 for patients aged<18 years (n=4). No new safety signals were observed between the index trial and the LTE.
Schlussfolgerung Continuous setmelanotide treatment in patients with POMC or LEPR deficiency who achieved a clinical benefit at 1 year is supported by sustained meaningful benefit in weight-related measures with no new safety signals at 4 years of treatment in this population.
