-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

  • Mibavademab (Drug), also known as REGN4461: Administered as per the protocol

+Outcome measures

Primary outcomes

  • Percent change in Body Mass Index (BMI) [Baseline to Week 24]

Secondary outcomes

  • Percent change in BMI [Baseline to Week 52]
  • Absolute change in BMI [Baseline, Through Week 52]
  • Percent change in body weight [Baseline, Through Week 52]
  • Absolute change in body weight [Baseline, Through Week 52]
  • Change in waist circumference [Baseline, Through Week 52]: Participants aged ≥18 years
  • Change in absolute total fat mass by whole body DXA [Baseline, Through Week 52]
  • Change in percent total fat mass by whole body DXA [Baseline, Through Week 52]
  • Change in absolute regional fat mass by whole body DXA [Baseline, Through Week 52]
  • Change in percent regional fat mass by whole body DXA [Baseline, Through Week 52]
  • Change in scores in the symptoms of hyperphagia questionnaire [Baseline, 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 questionnaire [Baseline, 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.
  • Change in scores in the hunger questionnaire [Baseline, 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]
  • Severity of TEAEs [Through Week 65]
  • Concentrations of total mibavademab in serum [Through Week 65]
  • Incidence of anti-drug antibody (ADA) to mibavademab [Through Week 65]
  • Titer of ADA to mibavademab [Through Week 65]

+Eligibility

Sex: All, ages: 2 Years to any

Key Inclusion Criteria:

1. Has documented medical history of biallelic loss of function variants of the LEP gene prior to the screening visit
