- NCT05470504RecruitingPhase 2
Pegvisomant for severe insulin resistance from rare fat or gene problems
This Phase 2 study tests pegvisomant, a medicine that blocks growth hormone, to see if it can improve severe insulin resistance in people with a specific genetic cause or a rare fat distribution condition. If you fit the rare diagnosis, the study may help clarify whether growth-hormone blocking can improve blood sugar and related health markers.

Study of pregnancy outcomes in people with lipodystrophy
This study looks at how pregnancy goes and what birth outcomes happen in women with lipodystrophy, comparing those who used metreleptin during pregnancy versus those who did not. It also collects information and blood samples from the children so researchers can better understand the effects of metreleptin during pregnancy.

Fat labeling study in familial partial lipodystrophy

Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
