Study summary
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study to examine the safety, tolerability and effect on body weight of a range of doses of metreleptin and pramlintide, each administered by a separate subcutaneous (SC) injection in obese and overweight subjects.

Outcomes
Least Squares (LS) Mean Percent Change in Body Weight From Baseline to Week 28 - Evaluable Population
Time frame · Baseline to Week 28
Body weight was measured in kilogram (kg). Baseline is defined as Day 1. If Day 1 was missing or after the first dose date of randomized treatment, the last available value prior to Day 1 was used. Drug Randomization stratified by sex and 3 categories baseline BMI (12 arms); 3 treatment arms combined for summaries as single placebo treatment group; 3 combined for summaries as single pramlintide monotherapy treatment group (total: 8 treatment groups).
Number of Participants Achieving at Least 5% and at Least 10% Body Weight Loss From Baseline to Week 28 - Evaluable Population
Time frame · Baseline to Week 28
Baseline refers to Day 1. If Day 1 value is missing or after the first dose date of randomized study medication, the last available value on or prior to Day 1 is used.
Mean Absolute Change From Baseline to Weeks 4, 12, 28 in Mean Trough Concentration of Total Leptin - Evaluable Population
Time frame · Baseline to Week 28
Mean fasting plasma total leptin concentration (nanograms per milliliter; ng/mL) change from baseline over time by pooled metreleptin dose (sex, baseline BMI category, and baseline value). Baseline defined as Day 1. If Day 1 value is missing or after the first dose date of randomized study medication, the last available value on or prior to Day 1 is used. Evaluable population: all participants who received at least one dose of randomized treatment, had adequate exposure to treatment and complied with the protocol as assessed prior to database lock and unblinding. Leptin concentrations measured using a validated immunoenzymetric assay utilizing polyclonal capture antibody, monoclonal detection antibody, and colorimetric readout by Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
LS Mean Absolute Change in Body Weight From Baseline to Weeks 4, 12, and 28 - Evaluable Population
Time frame · Baseline to Week 28
Least Squares (LS) mean absolute change in Body weight was measured in kilograms (kg). Baseline is defined as Day 1. If Day 1 was missing or after the first dose date of randomized treatment, the last available value prior to Day 1 was used.
LS Mean Change in Waist Circumference From Baseline to Week 12 and Week 28 - Evaluable Population
Time frame · Baseline to Weeks 12 and Week 28
Waist circumference was measured at baseline (Day 1), Weeks 12, 28 (or at early termination) in centimeters (cm).
Geometric Mean of the Total Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC) From Time 0 to Last Quantifiable Concentration (Tlast) for Pramlintide at Weeks 4 and 24 - Evaluable Population Receiving Pramlintide
Time frame · Week 4 and Week 24
Assessment of AUC was over a period of 2 hours following pramlintide administration. AUC (0 to time of last quantifiable concentration (-tlast). For AUC calculation, concentration at -5 min will be considered as 0 h concentration if quantifiable, otherwise, t=0 h. AUC measured as picograms\*hour/milliliter (pg\*h/mL). Pramlintide concentrations measured using a colorimetric immunoenzymetric assay employing monoclonal antibodies against pramlintide for both capture and detection.
Geometric Mean of AUC From Time 0 to Infinity for Pramlintide at Weeks 4 and 24 - Evaluable Population Treated With Pramlintide
Time frame · Weeks 4 and 24
Assessment of AUC was over a period of 2 hours following pramlintide administration. Area under the concentration curve (AUC) time 0 to infinity (-inf). For AUC calculations, concentration at -5 min will be considered as 0 h concentration if quantifiable. AUC measured in picograms\*hour/milliliter (pg\*h/mL).
Geometric Mean of the Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for Pramlintide at Weeks 4 and 24 - Evaluable Population Receiving Pramlintide
Time frame · Week 4 and Week 24
Assessment of Cmax was over a period of 2 hours following pramlintide administration at Weeks 4 and 24. Cmax was measured as picograms/milliliter (pg/mL).
Least Squares (LS) Mean Absolute Change From Baseline to Week 28 in Percent of Body Fat - Evaluable Population
Time frame · Baseline to Week 28
Parameters of body composition were measured with a Dual Energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan and reported as a percent (%). Data from the first valid DEXA scan obtained no later than 7 days after the first randomized dose was considered as valid baseline values; data from the last valid DEXA scan obtained no later than 10 days after last clinical visit or no later than 14 days after last dose of randomized study medication was considered as valid study termination values. Absolute change from baseline was defined as percent body fat at Week 28 - percent body fat at baseline.
LS Mean Absolute Change From Baseline to Week 28 in Total Body Fat Mass (k) - Evaluable Population
Time frame · Baseline to Week 28
Parameters of body composition were measured with a Dual Energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. Data from the first valid DEXA scan obtained no later than 7 days after the first randomized dose was considered as valid baseline values; data from the last valid DEXA scan obtained no later than 10 days after last clinical visit or no later than 14 days after last dose of randomized study medication was considered as valid study termination values. Body fat mass was measured in kilogram (k).
LS Mean Absolute Change From Baseline to Week 28 in Fat-free Mass (kg) - Evaluable Population
Time frame · Baseline to Week 28
Parameters of body composition were measured with a Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. Data from the first valid DEXA scan obtained no later than 7 days after the first randomized dose was considered as valid baseline values; data from the last valid DEXA scan obtained no later than 10 days after last clinical visit or no later than 14 days after last dose of randomized study medication was considered as valid study termination values. Fat-free mass were measured in kilogram (k).
