NCT ID NCT02325674
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This registry monitors the safety and effectiveness of metreleptin in up to 100 people with generalized or partial lipodystrophy who are already taking the drug in routine care. Researchers will track serious events like pancreatitis, liver problems, infections, and cancers. The goal is to better understand risks and benefits outside of clinical trials.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry will provide real-world safety data on metreleptin, helping doctors better manage lipodystrophy and reduce risks like pancreatitis.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results depend on voluntary reporting and may not apply to all patients.
