We’re always striving to better understand the medications that help children with weight management. One way we do that is through clinical trials. These are research studies that help us determine if a medication is effective and safe. We need patients to volunteer for clinical trials; it’s only with their help that we’re able to improve treatment for them and future patients.

Here are the clinical trials we’re currently holding:

Setmelanotide in acquired hypothalamic obesity

The goal of this trial is to learn how well Setmelanotide works to improve weight reduction, hunger, and quality of life in patients 4 years of age and older with acquired hypothalamic obesity. Learn about the Setmelanotide trial.

RM-718 in Healthy Subjects and in Patients With HO

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of RM-718 in healthy subjects with obesity and in patients with hypothalamic obesity. Learn about the RM-718 trial.

If your family is interested in participating or wants to learn more about upcoming clinical trials, please call our administrative team at 617-355-5159.
