Following screening, eligible subjects will be enrolled into a 6-week Low Calorie Diet (LCD) lead-in period. Subjects who lose at least 2% of their body weight at the end of the 6-week LCD lead-in period will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms (pramlintide+metreleptin or placebo) to begin a 16-week treatment period during which the effect on body weight of treatment with pramlintide+metreleptin will be compared to placebo. Following the 16 week blinded core treatment period, subjects will discontinue study medication for a period of 12 weeks. Following the 12 week off-drug follow-up period, subjects in both groups will initiate a 12 week open-label treatment period with Pramlintide+Metreleptin. During the 12 week off-drug and 12 week open label treatment periods, subjects will continue to participate in a Lifestyle Intervention (LSI) program.

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events and Number With Post Treatment Adverse Events - Intent to Treat Population
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events are defined as those with an onset date and time on or after the first dose of randomized study medication and on or before the last dose of randomized study medication. Post-treatment Adverse Events are defined as those with an onset date after the date of last dose (imputed if not available) of randomized study medication. Participants experiencing multiple episodes of a given adverse event are counted once.
Time frame: Day 1 up to Month 6 Follow-Up
Change From Baseline to Week 2, and to Follow up Months 2, 4, 6 in Fasting Leptin Concentration - Intent to Treat Population
Participants who received metreleptin were analyzed; no placebo treated participants were analyzed. Baseline was Day 1 measurement or the last measurement taken prior to first dose of randomized study medication, if Day 1 measure was missing. Leptin was measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).
Time frame: Baseline to Month 6 Follow Up
Number of Participants With Anti-leptin Antibodies Who Received Metreleptin - Intent to Treat Population
Anti-leptin antibodies measured at Weeks 1 and 2 of drug treatment, early termination visit, and at Months 2, 4, and 6 post treatment follow-up in participants who received metreleptin.
Time frame: Week 1 to Month 6 Follow-Up
Number of Participants With Neutralizing Activity to Metreleptin at Early Termination or During Post Treatment Follow-Up - Intent to Treat Population Who Received Metreleptin
In vitro assays were conducted to determine if neutralizing activity to metreleptin developed in participants treated with at least one dose of the drug during the study. Baseline is Day 1 of the Randomization Period, prior to administration of metreleptin.
Time frame: Baseline to Month 6 Follow-Up
