Study summary

What the protocol is testing.

The protocol describes a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with independent sub-studies of setmelanotide in patients with obesity and at least one of the specific gene variants in the Melanocortin-4 Receptor pathway: * POMC or PCSK1 (Sub-study 035a) * LEPR (Sub-study 035b) * SRC1 (Sub-study 035c) * SH2B1 (Sub-study 035d) The objectives and endpoints are identical for these sub-studies.
