NCT ID NCT04710056
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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 receive the medication outside of a formal clinical trial.
