About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of REGN4461, a Leptin Receptor Agonist Antibody, in Patients With Generalized Lipodystrophy
The primary objectives of the study are to estimate the effects of REGN4461 on glycemic parameters in the subset of patients with elevated baseline hemoglobin A1c levels (HbA1c ≥7%) and to estimate the effects of REGN4461 on fasting triglyceride levels in the subset of patients with elevated baseline fasting triglycerides (TG ≥250 mg/dL).
The secondary objectives are to estimate the effects of REGN4461 on a composite endpoint of changes in either HbA1c or fasting TG for all patients, estimate the effects of 3 dose levels of REGN4461 on glycemic parameters and fasting TG, to estimate the effects of REGN4461 on insulin sensitivity, to evaluate the safety and tolerability of REGN4461 and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity of REGN4461.

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Absolute Change From Baseline in Participants With Elevated Baseline Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c ≥7%) at Week 8

Measured: Baseline, Week 8
Secondary outcomes (18)
Absolute Change From Baseline in HbA1c and Fasting TG Composite Endpoint at Week 8
The composite score is calculated for each individual participant using baseline and Week 8 measurements of HbA1c and fasting TG.
For each participant, a Z-score is calculated separately for HbA1c and fasting TG, rescaling the change from baseline based on the standard deviation of the baseline value for all participants, as a way of standardizing the change value.
The composite score uses one or both of the calculated Z-scores depending on which parameters were abnormal at baseline. If both, then the participant's composite is the average of the two parameter Z-scores.
At the participant level, a Z-score of zero for either parameter indicates no change in that metabolic parameter, but a composite Z-score of zero can also reflect offsetting changes in metabolic parameters. A negative Z-score would be interpreted as an overall improvement in metabolic function, but a negative Z-score can also result from a decrease in one parameter not being canceled by an increase in the other.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Low-Dose REGN4461 and High-dose REGN4461 in people with Generalized Lipodystrophy, run by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals at 8 sites in 4 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 8 sites in United States, Turkey (Türkiye), Peru, Russia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Feb 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Absolute Change From Baseline in Participants With Elevated Baseline Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c ≥7%) at Week 8 (time frame: Baseline, Week 8). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jun 2026.
