Drug trial aims to tame dangerous metabolism in rare fat disorder

NCT ID NCT05088460

Summary

This study tested an experimental drug called REGN4461 to see if it could help control serious metabolic problems in people with a rare genetic condition called familial partial lipodystrophy. The condition causes abnormal fat distribution and often leads to dangerously high blood sugar and fat levels. The trial was small, enrolling 20 participants, and was designed to measure changes in these levels, liver fat, and feelings of hunger over 12 to 24 weeks.
