Little is known about how taking metreleptin may affect a pregnancy. Metrel...

Summary: This Phase 3 study is an Open Label Extension of the APG-20 Study To Evaluate the Long-term Safety and Efficacy of Daily Subcutaneous Metreleptin Treatment in Subjects with Partial Lipodystrophy

Summary: This is an open-label, Phase 3b study to evaluate effectiveness, safety and pharmacokinetic parameters of metreleptin in patients under 6 years of age with generalised lipodystrophy and associated diabetes mellitus and/or hypertriglyceridaemia

Summary: The study is a post-authorization, prospective, voluntary registry of patients treated with commercial metreleptin including, but not limited to, patients in the US and EEA.

This study tests the effect of metreleptin in comparison with placebo, which could potentially make treatment easie...
