Brief summary

The purpose of the study was to assess the efficacy of LB54640 in participants with rare genetic disorders of obesity

Detailed description

Patients with obesity due to POMC, PCSK1 or LEPR deficiency will be enrolled to receive LB54640 by oral administration for 16 weeks. After 16 weeks of treatment, the participant may enter a long term extension phase and receive treatment for up to 1 year.

Intervention model description

This is a study where each participant participates for up to 56 weeks. The study consists up to 7 visits to study center which include a Screening period, treatment period, and a follow-up period. Eligible participants who are willing to enter the long-term extension period and who are judged by the study doctor to have no safety concerns, will continue to receive LB54640 at the same dose level from the treatment period. The long-term extension period will be followed by a follow-up period

Frequency and severity of adverse events of special interest (AESI)From first dose up to Week 52
Mean change and mean percentage change from baseline in body weightFrom baseline up to Week 52
Frequency and severity of adverse events (AE)From first dose up to Week 52
Mean change and mean percentage change from baseline in Hunger Questionnaire ScoresFrom baseline up to Week 52The question will asked using the Hunger Questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of a new 5-item, patient-reported scale assessing major eating-related factors (worst and average hunger, appetite, craving, and satiety).
Mean change and mean percentage change from baseline in body composition assessed by dual energy x-ray absorptiometryFrom baseline up to Week 52Fat mass and lean mass will be measured through dual energy x-ray absorptiometry
Mean change and mean percentage change from baseline in waist circumference.From baseline up to Week 52
