Data are the mean (SD), mean [95% CI], or mean (SD) [95% CI] unless otherwise specified. ATB, active treatment baseline (defined as last measurement before the first dose of setmelanotide; ie, Week 0 for setmelanotide group and Week 14 for placebo group); BBS, Bardet-Biedl syndrome; CI, confidence interval; FAS, full analysis set; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; SD, standard deviation.

a

Multiple imputation model used to impute measurements for patients with <52 weeks of treatment.

b

Estimated proportion on the basis of qualifying patients in the FAS (ie, ≥12 years old without cognitive impairment; n=16).

c

Patients with measurements at ATB (n=36) and Week 52 (n=28).

d

Patients with measurements at ATB (n=33), Week 52 (n=20), and both (n=19).

e

Patients with measurements at ATB (n=36) and Week 52 (n=26).
