A Study Evaluating Mibavademab Treatment of Obesity Due to Leptin (LEP) Gene Mutations in Children, Adolescents and Adults

Not Applicable
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Monogenic Obesity
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT07220772
Lead Sponsor
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

This study is researching an experimental drug called mibavademab. The study is focused on patients with a condition called monogenic obesity. Monogenic obesity is caused by a change in the leptin gene that keeps it from working properly. This causes the body to not be able to feel full or control feelings of hunger.

The aim of the study is to see how well mibavademab controls the body weight and how safe it is.

The study is looking at several other research questions, including:

* How much mibavademab is in the blood at different times

* Whether the body makes proteins called antibodies against mibavademab (which could stop mibavademab from working as well or could lead to side effects)

* What side effects may happen from taking mibavademab

  2. Has class ≥2 obesity at screening and at baseline, as defined in the protocol

Key

Exclusion Criteria
  1. Unwilling or unable to provide, or have the treating physician provide, documented historical weight for at least 6 months prior to screening
  2. History of bariatric surgery within approximately the past 12 months of study screening
  3. History of weight loss of ≥5% of body weight in approximately the past 3 months of study screening
  4. History of genetic causes of obesity other than/in addition to biallelic loss of function variants of the LEP gene
  5. History of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or other mental illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, might pose a safety risk to participation in a clinical study of an investigational drug
  6. Any suicidal ideation of type 4 or 5 on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) during screening or baseline, or any lifetime history of a suicide attempt, or any lifetime history of suicidal behavior, including ideation
  7. Treatment with medications for weight loss or medications with known side effects of weight loss within the past approximately 3 months of study screening

Percent change in Body Mass Index (BMI)Baseline to Week 24
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent change in BMIBaseline to Week 52
Absolute change in BMIBaseline, Through Week 52
Percent change in body weightBaseline, Through Week 52
Absolute change in body weightBaseline, Through Week 52
Change in waist circumferenceBaseline, Through Week 52

Participants aged ≥18 years

Change in absolute total fat mass by whole body DXABaseline, Through Week 52
Change in absolute regional fat mass by whole body DXABaseline, Through Week 52
Change in scores in the hunger questionnaireBaseline, Through Week 52

The Daily Hunger Assessment is a daily, single item measuring hunger for participants aged ≥12 years who are able to self-complete, participants are asked to rate their highest level of hunger over for the day, where "0" is "not hungry at all" to "10" the hungriest possible."

Number of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)Through Week 65
Change in percent total fat mass by whole body DXABaseline, Through Week 52
Change in percent regional fat mass by whole body DXABaseline, Through Week 52
Change in scores in the symptoms of hyperphagia questionnaireBaseline, Through Week 52

Symptoms of Hyperphagia - Caregiver Version© is completed by a caregiver. Symptoms of Hyperphagia - Patient Version© is completed by the participants who are aged \<12 years or for participants who are unable to self-complete. The questionnaires both assesses the frequency of hunger symptoms on a categorical scale (Never, 1 or 2 times, 3 or more times) over the past 24 hours and are scored combining the total scores across the items. Higher scores indicate greater severity.

Change in scores in the impacts of hyperphagia questionnaireBaseline, Through Week 52

For participants who are aged \<12 years or for participants who are unable to self-complete, the Impacts of Hyperphagia - Caregiver Version© is completed by a caregiver. For participants aged ≥12 years who are able to self-report, the Impacts of Hyperphagia - Patient Version© is completed by the participant. Both questionnaires assess the impact of hyperphagia on a categorical scale (range: not at all, a little, moderately, a great deal). The participant version is scored using a total score across the 5 items. The caregiver version is scored separately for each section. Higher scores indicate a greater impact of hyperphagia.
