Rhythm Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYTM#NASDAQ">RYTM</a>) on Monday released topline results from the pivotal Phase 3 TRANSCEND trial evaluating setmelanotide, a melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) agonist, for the treatment of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/weight-loss" rel="noreferrer noopener">acquired hypothalamic obesity</a>.
Acquired hypothalamic obesity is&nbsp;a rare, non-genetic form of obesity resulting from damage to the hypothalamus, the brain region controlling energy balance, often caused by tumors, surgery, or radiation, leading to rapid weight gain <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44663146/rhythm-pharmaceuticals-announces-pivotal-phase-3-transcend-trial-meets-primary-endpoint-with-19-8-" rel="noreferrer noopener">and metabolic complications</a>.
The global trial met its primary endpoint with a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in body mass index (BMI) with setmelanotide in adult and pediatric patients versus placebo.

Highlights from the topline data include:
<ul>
<li>-19.8% placebo-adjusted difference in BMI reduction (N=120).</li>
<li>The primary endpoint of mean BMI reduction was -16.5% from baseline for all patients on setmelanotide therapy (n=81) compared with +3.3% BMI change for patients on placebo (n=39) at 52 weeks.</li>
<li>80% of patients on setmelanotide achieved a BMI reduction of 5% or greater at 52 weeks.</li>
<li>-19.2% placebo-adjusted BMI reduction was achieved in adult patients (n=49) and -20.2% in patients younger than 18 (n=71) at 52 weeks.</li>
</ul>
The company says the global Phase 3 TRANSCEND trial is believed to be the largest and longest placebo-controlled trial to evaluate therapy for patients with acquired hypothalamic obesity. The double-blinded, 52-week trial enrolled 120 patients.
Clinically meaningful improvements were observed across key secondary endpoints at week 52, including:
<ul>
<li>83% of patients on setmelanotide therapy achieved 5% or greater reduction in BMI (n=33 patients 18 or older) or BMI Z-score reduction of 0.2 or greater points (n=48 patients younger than 18).</li>
<li>-1.4 placebo-adjusted mean change in the weekly average of the daily maximal hunger score for patients 12 years old or older (n=81) (p=0.003).</li>
</ul>
No new safety signals with setmelanotide were observed, in line with setmelanotide&#8217;s well-established and well-understood safety profile. Consistent with prior clinical experience, setmelanotide was generally well tolerated in the TRANSCEND study.
The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (affecting &gt;20% of participants) were nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, injection site reaction, skin hyperpigmentation, and headache. No serious adverse events leading to study discontinuation were reported.
Price Action: RYTM stock is up 15.60% at $54.27 at the last check on Monday.
