Objective

The protocol describes a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with independent sub-studies of setmelanotide in patients with obesity and at least one of the specific gene variants in the Melanocortin-4 Receptor pathway:

  • POMC or PCSK1 (Sub-study 035a)

  • LEPR (Sub-study 035b)

  • SRC1 (Sub-study 035c)

  • SH2B1 (Sub-study 035d)

The objectives and endpoints are identical for these sub-studies.
