Rami Levin, President and CEO of Saniona discusses Tesomet, the first and only investigational treatment for Hypothalamic Obesity (HO) to receive orphan drug designation. This marks a major milestone for the patient community as there are currently no medications specifically approved for HO. Patients living with this disease experience uncontrollable hunger and intractable weight gain, which is often complicated by depression, impulse control issues and increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. This milestone builds on the orphan drug designation granted by the FDA earlier this year to Tesomet for the treatment of Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) and Saniona is preparing to initiate Phase 2b studies of Tesomet in HO and PWS in the second half of this year.​ #Saniona #HypothalamicObesity Rami Levin, President and Chief Executive Officer.
