Background: Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) causes early-onset extreme obesity and hyperphagia that is hypothesized to arise from leptin receptor dysfunction. Setmelanotide, a melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) peptide agonist, has been shown to induce weight loss in individuals affected by other rare genetic obesity disorders resulting from leptin-melanocortin pathway dysfunction upstream of MC4R.Objective: Report preliminary data on body weight, hunger scores,...

Background: In a Phase 3 trial in participants with obesity due to Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) and Alström syndrome, setmelanotide was associated with significant reduction from baseline in body weight and hunger at Week 52 (primary endpoint), with outcomes driven by responses in individuals with BBS.Methods: In the same trial (NCT03746522), individuals with BBS or Alström syndrome were randomized and received ...
