Initial (Day 1 through Week 12), late (Week 12 through Week 20), and overall (Day 1 through Week 20) rates of Least squares (LS) mean absolute change in body weight were defined by the slopes of the regression lines fitted to the observed body weights during the periods from Baseline (Day 1) through each visit to Week 20. Initial, late and overall absolute change was measured in kilograms of body weight per week (kg/week). Baseline refers to Visit 4 (Day 1 of randomization period).
Number of Participants Achieving at Least 5% and at Least 10% Body Weight Loss From Baseline to Weeks 16 and 20, and Number of Participants With Sustained Weight Loss in Each Category - Evaluable Population

Number of Participants With BMI Change From Enrollment to Week 16 - Evaluable Population
BMI was measured as kilogram per meter of height squared (kg/m^2). Enrollment was Visit 2 (Week -4). Participants who were obese (BMI of 30 kg/m^2 to <35 kg/m^2) at enrollment were evaluated at Week 16 to see if the same number who were obese at enrollment were still obese at Week 16 or if they had changed to an BMI of overweight (BMI of 25 kg/m^2 to <30 kg/m^2) or a BMI of normal (BMI of <25 kg/m^2) or a greater obesity (BMI >35 kg/m^2). Participants who were overweight (BMI of 25 kg/m^2 to <30 kg/m^2) at enrollment were evaluated at Week 16 to see if the same number who were overweight at enrollment were still overweight at Week 16 or if they had changed to normal (or obese).
Number of Participants With BMI Change From Enrollment to Week 20 - Evaluable Population
BMI was measured as kilogram per meter of height squared (kg/m^2). Enrollment was Visit 2 (Week -4). Participants who were obese (BMI of 30 kg/m^2 to <35 kg/m^2) at enrollment were evaluated at Week 20 to see if the same number who were obese at enrollment were still obese at Week 20 or if they had changed to an BMI of overweight (BMI of 25 kg/m^2 to <30 kg/m^2) or a BMI of normal (BMI of <25 kg/m^2) or a greater obesity (BMI >35 kg/m^2).

After the Lead-In Period, participants were either randomized to one of the 3 arms of the study or they were dropped from the study so the time frame for evaluation of all participants in the study was either: enrollment up to Week 20 for Randomized participants or enrollment up to, but not including Day 1 for Non-Randomized participants who participated only in the Lead-In Period.

A 12-Lead electrocardiogram (ECG) was obtained at Week -4, Day 1, Week 16, Week 20 or early termination and the overall interpretation of the ECG was made by the investigator as normal, abnormal (not clinically significant) and abnormal (clinically significant). The ECG consisted of the PR interval = time from beginning of the P wave to the beginning of the QRS complex; (Note: QRS complex is a name for the combination of 3 of the graphical deflections seen in an ECG); QRS (time from the beginning to the end of the QRS complex) interval; QT interval (measure between Q wave and T wave in the heart's electrical cycle); and QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) were measured in milliseconds (msec). .
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Anti-Leptin Antibodies by Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16 - Intent to Treat Population
Serum titer determinations for antibodies to leptin were made using a validated electrochemical luminescence (ECLA) bridging assay. Antibody titers were assessed according to the following dilutions: 0, 5, 25, 125, 625, 3125, 15625, and 78125. Participants were considered to have a positive titer to treatment-emergent antibodies to leptin at a given visit if they had a titer >=5 following a negative or missing titer at baseline or if they had a titer that had increased by at least 2 dilutions from a detectable level at baseline. All participants were evaluated (including those who did not receive metreleptin as their randomized study drug). Baseline was Day 1 (randomization).

Plasma total leptin (including endogenous leptin and exogenous metreleptin) concentrations were measured using a validated sandwich-type immunoenzymetric assay utilizing polyclonal capture antibody, monoclonal detection antibody, and colorimetric readout by Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. This assay is not specific for metreleptin and detects both endogenous leptin and exogenous recombinant-methionyl human leptin [metreleptin]).

LS Mean Absolute Change From Enrollment to Week 16 in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) - Evaluable Population
Description
The HADS is a questionnaire that uses 14 items to assess both anxiety and depression over the past week. The odd numbered items constitute the anxiety subscale, and the even numbered items constitute the depression subscale. The individual response scores for each subscale component are added together to obtain the individual subscale scores. The minimum and maximum score for each subscale is 0 and 21, respectively. The lower the score the more improvement a participant shows.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormal ECG at Weeks 16, 20, or Early Termination - Randomized Population
Description
A 12-Lead electrocardiogram (ECG) was obtained at Week -4, Day 1, Week 16, Week 20 or early termination and the overall interpretation of the ECG was made by the investigator as normal, abnormal (not clinically significant) and abnormal (clinically significant). The ECG consisted of the PR interval = time from beginning of the P wave to the beginning of the QRS complex; (Note: QRS complex is a name for the combination of 3 of the graphical deflections seen in an ECG); QRS (time from the beginning to the end of the QRS complex) interval; QT interval (measure between Q wave and T wave in the heart's electrical cycle); and QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) were measured in milliseconds (msec). .

Title
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Anti-Leptin Antibodies by Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16 - Intent to Treat Population
Description
Serum titer determinations for antibodies to leptin were made using a validated electrochemical luminescence (ECLA) bridging assay. Antibody titers were assessed according to the following dilutions: 0, 5, 25, 125, 625, 3125, 15625, and 78125. Participants were considered to have a positive titer to treatment-emergent antibodies to leptin at a given visit if they had a titer >=5 following a negative or missing titer at baseline or if they had a titer that had increased by at least 2 dilutions from a detectable level at baseline. All participants were evaluated (including those who did not receive metreleptin as their randomized study drug). Baseline was Day 1 (randomization).
Time Frame
Baseline up to Week 16
