Disease
Names and IDs as Open Targets gives them. Its IDs in MeSH, Orphanet, the Disease Ontology and the NCI Thesaurus are those Open Targets states for it.
Drugs3
The drugs Open Targets' clinical reports study for the disease, the highest stage first, then the most trial reports. The stage is Open Targets', the highest any of its sources reports for the pair, and each row names the sources that report it.
| Drug | ChEMBL ID | Type | Open Targets' stage | Stage reported by | Reports | Of them trials | Trials shown here | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| METRELEPTIN | CHEMBL2107857 | Protein | Phase 1/2 | ClinicalTrials.gov | 1 | 1 | 1 | Drugs and targets |
| PEGVISOMANT | CHEMBL1201515 | Protein | Unknown | ClinicalTrials.gov | 1 | 1 | 1 | Drugs and targets |
| SOMATROPIN | CHEMBL1201621 | Protein | Unknown | ClinicalTrials.gov | 1 | 1 | 1 | Drugs and targets |
Targets2
The targets ChEMBL's mechanism records give for the disease's drugs, through Open Targets, the most drugs first. A mechanism record says what a drug acts on, not that the target causes the disease.
| Target | Protein | Its drugs that act on it | Mechanisms | Highest stage of those drugs | Gene in Genes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GHR | Growth hormone receptor | 2 | Growth hormone receptor agonist; Growth hormone receptor antagonist | Unknown | https://conductscience.org/library/genes/2690 | Drugs and targets |
| LEPR | Leptin receptor | 1 | Leptin receptor agonist | Phase 1/2 | https://conductscience.org/library/genes/3953 | Drugs and targets |
Trials2
Trials an Open Targets clinical report links to the disease, posted results first, then the largest. A trial is shown when the release's checks confirm its link to the disease and Drugs and targets shows its link to one of the disease's drugs.
| Trial | Title | Phase | Participants | Results first posted | Conditions | Drugs | Linked by | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00140231 | Role of Leptin in the Neuroendocrine and Immune Response to Fasting | Phase 1/2 | 13 | 2017-06-07 | Fasting | METRELEPTIN | Its record names the disease | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| NCT00476879 | Growth Hormone During Fasting.Signaltransduktion in Muscle and Adipose Tissue and Changes in Intrahepatic Lipid Content | Not applicable | 10 | Metabolism, Fatty Liver | PEGVISOMANT, SOMATROPIN | Its record names the disease | ClinicalTrials.gov |
Comparisons in its trials2
Comparisons Trial comparisons calculated in the trials shown here, most participants first. A comparison in one of these trials does not always compare a treatment for the disease, so read the two groups.
| Comparison | Group 1, with the outcome | Group 2, with the outcome | Participants | Trial | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metreleptin vs Placebo: deaths from any cause | 0 of 13 | 0 of 13 | 26 | NCT00140231 | Trial comparisons |
| Metreleptin vs Placebo: serious adverse events | 0 of 13 | 0 of 13 | 26 | NCT00140231 | Trial comparisons |
Papers from its trials7
The papers the trials shown here list on ClinicalTrials.gov as their results (RESULT) or as drawn from them (DERIVED), results first, newest first.
