Acquired partial lipodystrophy

This study tests a drug called pegvisomant in 25 adults with severe insulin resistance caused by lipodystrophy or insulin receptor gene changes. Participants give themselves daily shots for one month and have two hospital stays for tests. The goal is to see if blocking growth hor…

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 …

This program provides expanded access to REGN4461 (mibavademab) for people with rare diseases caused by deficient leptin signaling, such as generalized lipodystrophy and monogenic obesity. The drug aims to help control metabolic issues linked to these conditions. Participants rec…
