P255 - ECE_1844 - Efficacy and safety of setmelanotide in acquired hypothalamic obesity: Results from a double-blind, multicentre, placebo-controlled, randomised phase 3 trial

Hypothalamic melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) signalling is crucial for regulating hunger, satiety, and energy expenditure. Tumour/treatment-induced or traumatic brain injury to the hypothalamus can lead to hyperphagia and acquired hypothalamic obesity (aHO), for which no approved treatments exist. We present resul...
