5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Two cohorts are being studied based on leptin levels. Cohort A is composed of patients with baseline leptin <8.0 ng/mL and Cohort B is composed of patients with baseline leptin 8.0 to ≤20.0 ng/mL The primary objectives will be evaluated for patients in Cohort A only: To evaluate the effect of REGN4461 on fasting triglycerides (TG) in patients with elevated baseline fasting TG To evaluate the effect of REGN4461 on hyperglycemia in patients with elevated baseline Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) The following secondary objectives of the study will be evaluated for Cohort B and for the combined set of Cohorts A plus B: To evaluate the effect of REGN4461 on fasting TG levels in patients with hypertriglyceridemia To evaluate the effect of REGN4461 on glycemic control in patients with hyperglycemia The following secondary objectives of the study will be evaluated for Cohorts A and B separately, and for the combined set of Cohorts A plus B: To evaluate the effect of REGN4461 on liver fat in patients with hepatic steatosis To evaluate the effect of REGN4461 on hunger To evaluate safety and tolerability of REGN4461 To characterize the concentration profile of REGN4461 over time To assess immunogenicity to REGN4461

12. IPD Sharing Statement

Plan to Share IPD
Yes
IPD Sharing Plan Description
All Individual Patient Data (IPD) that underlie publicly available results will be considered for sharing
IPD Sharing Time Frame
Individual anonymized participant data will be considered for sharing once the indication has been approved by a regulatory body, if there is legal authority to share the data and there is not a reasonable likelihood of participant re-identification
IPD Sharing Access Criteria
Qualified researchers may request access to anonymized patient level data or aggregate study data when Regeneron has received marketing authorization from major health authorities (e.g., Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), etc) for the product and indication, has the legal authority to share the data, and has made the study results publicly available (eg, scientific publication, scientific conference, clinical trial registry).
