Expanded-access for the Use of Setemelanotide in a Single Patient With Partial Lipodystrophy (LD) Associated With Leptin Deficiency and Multiple Autoimmune Diseases

The objective of this single patient study is to assess the safety and efficacy of
setmelanotide as a treatment of severe metabolic abnormalities resulting from LD, especially
refractory hypertriglyceridemia leading to recurrent bouts of pancreatitis.

This is a single-patient study to assess the safety and efficacy of setmelanotide in a unique
patient with partal LD and severe metabolic abnormalities, most notably refractory
hypertriglyceridemia leading to recurrent pancreatitis despite ongoing plasmapheresis
treatment.

pancreatitis, requiring weekly plasmapaheresis

- Has Type 1 diabetes melltus with HbA1c > 10%. Age and Reproductive Status
