Evaluation of Safety and Efficiency of Metreleptin Treatment for Patients With Multiple Symmetric Lipomatosis (MSL)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Patients (homozygous MFN2 [gene that provides instructions to produce the Mitofusin 2 protein] R707W) will be treated with Metreleptin, and effects on body composition, metabolic parameters and safety will be assessed over a 6 month intervention period.

Drug: Metreleptin
Study drug for injection is supplied in a carton containing 30 vials for reconstitution. Each vial contains 11.3 mg of the study drug as a sterile, white, solid, lyophilized cake or powder to deliver 5 mg/mL of the study drug when reconstituted with 2.2 mL of water for injection (WFI).

-
Evidence of other etiologies of viral hepatitis in medical records
-
Presence of active hematologic, bone marrow or other abnormalities that may increase risk of bleeding in medical records.
