PRIMARY outcome

Population: mITT analysis set included all randomized participants who were exposed to at least 1 dose of study treatment. Participants in pivotal cohort were included in the analysis.

BMI was calculated as weight (kg)/height (m\^2). BMI Z-Score calculated for participants \<18 years old only is a measure of relative weight adjusted for child's age, sex and height at the time of data collection. The Z-Scores were calculated using the World Health Organization's WHO 2007 BMI SAS Macro Package. A Z-score of 0 is equal to the mean of a reference population (i.e., healthy, age and sex-matched individuals). A decrease in BMI Z-score (\< 0) indicates a reduction in BMI from Baseline whereas an increase in BMI-Z score (\> 0) indicated an increase in BMI from Baseline. Baseline was defined as the most recent measurement prior to the first administration of study drug. Results below represent the percentage of estimated participants with either ≥5% BMI reduction or ≥0.2 point reduction in BMI Z-score by age in each treatment arm as calculated through the MIANALYZE SAS procedure.

Change from baseline in hunger scores for participants ≥12 years of age with acquired hypothalamic obesity was evaluated. Hunger score ranged from 0= "not hungry at all" to 10= "hungriest possible" on an 11-point numeric rating scale. On Daily Hunger Questionnaire, each of the 2 items (average hunger and most hunger) was scored separately and averaged on weekly basis. LSM and SE were calculated using ANCOVA model.

Population: mITT analysis set included all randomized participants who were exposed to at least 1 dose of study treatment. Participants in pivotal cohort who were evaluable for this outcome measure were included in the analysis.

Participants ≥12 years of age who were able to self-report were administered the Symptoms of Hyperphagia: Patient (Version 1.0). The questionnaire consisted of 4 items related to the frequency of a participant's hunger symptoms on a scale (Never, 1 or 2 times, 3 or more times) over the past 24 hours. The scores on this scale range from 0 to 2 with higher scores indicating more hyperphagia. Daily composite score was derived as the sum of daily answered questions divided by the number of answered questions per day. The weekly average of the daily composite scores equals to the sum of daily composite scores divided by the number of days with a composite score within the 7 identified days prior to the visit. LSM and SE were calculated using ANCOVA model.

The IWQOL-Lite-Clinical Trials (administered to participants ≥18 years of age) is a validated 20-item self-report measure of obesity-specific quality of life questionnaire. It assessed 2 primary domains of obesity-related health-related quality of life (HRQoL): physical (7 items) and psychosocial (13 items). Each item was rated on a scale from 0 (worst) to 100 (best), with higher scores indicating better levels of functioning. It provided composite scores for each domain, as well as a total score, all ranging from 0 (worst) to 100 (best). Higher scores reflect better levels of functioning and quality of life. LSM and SE were calculated using ANCOVA model.
