Percentage of Participants With ≥ 5% Reduction in BMI From Baseline After 16 Weeks of Setmelanotide Treatment
BMI was calculated using participant's weight and height assessments, using the following formula: BMI = kg/m\^2. Baseline was defined as the most recent measurement prior to the first administration of study drug.
Time frame: Baseline to 16 weeks
Composite Percentage of Participants Aged ≥6 to <18 Years With ≥0.2 Reduction of BMI Z-Score or Participants Aged ≥18 Years With 5% Reduction of Body Weight From Baseline After 16 Weeks of Setmelanotide Treatment
For participants aged ≥6 to \<18 years, a participant's BMI Z-score was considered for the analysis; for participants ≥18 years, a participant's body weight (kg) was considered for the analysis. BMI was calculated using participant's weight and height assessments, using the following formula: BMI = kg/m\^2. The BMI Z-score indicated the number of standard deviations away from the mean. A Z-score of 0 is equal to the mean of a reference population (i.e., healthy, age and sex-matched individuals). A decrease of BMI Z-score indicates a reduction in BMI from Baseline whereas an increase of BMI-Z score indicates an increase in BMI from Baseline. Baseline was defined as the most recent measurement prior to the first administration of study drug.
Time frame: Baseline to Week 16

A Z-score of 0 is equal to the mean of a reference population (i.e., healthy, age and sex-matched individuals). A decrease of BMI Z-score indicates a reduction in BMI from Baseline whereas an increase of BMI-Z score indicates an increase in BMI from Baseline.

Percentage of Participants Aged ≥18 Years With ≥5% Reduction of Body Weight From Baseline After 16 Weeks of Setmelanotide Treatment
Baseline was defined as the most recent measurement prior to the first administration of study drug.
Time frame: Baseline to Week 16
Change From Baseline in Waist Circumference in Participants Aged ≥18 Years After 16 Weeks of Setmelanotide Treatment
Waist circumference was measured after participants had fasted for at least 8 hours and at approximately the same time at each visit. Baseline was defined as the most recent measurement prior to the first administration of study drug.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 16
Change From Baseline in Daily Hunger Questionnaire Score in Participants Aged <12 Years After 16 Weeks of Setmelanotide Treatment
Daily Hunger Questionnaire for participants \<12 years of age: Three aspects of hunger (average hunger in the last 24 hours, most/worst hunger in the last 24 hours, and morning hunger) were assessed daily using a pictorial (smiley face) version of the Likert rating scale with scores from 0 to 4, with 0 = not hungry at all and 4 = hungriest possible. Responses were recorded in the electronic diary. Each of the 3 items (average hunger, most/worst hunger, and morning hunger) was scored separately and averaged to calculate a total score ranging from 0 (not hungry at all) to 4 (hungriest possible) with higher score indicating more hunger. Baseline daily hunger score was calculated as the average of 7 days prior to Baseline visit.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 16
Change From Baseline in Daily Hunger Questionnaire Scores in Participants Aged ≥12 Years After 16 Weeks of Setmelanotide Treatment
Daily Hunger Questionnaire for participants ≥12 years of age: Three aspects of hunger (average hunger in the last 24 hours, most/worst hunger in the last 24 hours, and morning hunger) were assessed daily using a numeric rating score for each from 0 to 10, with 0 = not hungry at all and 10 = hungriest possible. The responses to the Daily Hunger Questionnaire were recorded in the electronic diary. Baseline daily hunger score was calculated as the average of 7 days prior to Baseline visit.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 16
Number of Participants With Shift From Baseline in Global Hunger Questionnaire Score to Week 16 in Participants Aged < 12 Years
Parents or caregivers of participants \<12 years old answered the Caregiver Reported Global Hunger Question for participants who were \<12 years old. The following question was asked: How hungry is your child acting now? Possible responses were: Not hungry at all; A little hungry; Moderately hungry; and Extremely hungry. Baseline was defined as the most recent measurement prior to the first administration of study drug.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 16
Number of Participants With Shift From Baseline in Global Hunger Questionnaire Score to Week 16 in Participants Aged ≥12 Years
Global Hunger Questionnaire for participants ≥12 years of age. The following question was asked: Overall, how would you rate the hunger you experience now? Possible responses were: No hunger; Mild hunger; Moderate hunger; and Severe hunger. Baseline was defined as the most recent measurement prior to the first administration of study drug.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 16
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence or clinically significant worsening of an existing condition associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An AE (also referred to as an adverse experience) could be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g., an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, without any judgment about causality.
Time frame: From first dose of study drug up to Day 141
