Summary

This program provides metreleptin, a synthetic hormone, to patients with partial lipodystrophy who also have diabetes or very high triglycerides. It is for people who previously benefited from the drug in an earlier study and need ongoing treatment. The goal is to help control blood sugar and fat levels, but it is not a cure and requires continued medication.
