1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE IMCIVREE is indicated to reduce excess body weight and maintain weight reduction long term in adults and pediatric patients aged [ see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ]: 4 years and older with acquired hypothalamic obesity (HO) 2 years and older with syndromic or monogenic obesity due to: o Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) o Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1), or leptin receptor (LEPR) deficiency confirmed by genetic testing demonstrating variants in POMC, PCSK1, or LEPR genes that are interpreted as pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or of uncertain significance (VUS). IMCIVREE is a melanocortin 4 (MC4) receptor agonist indicated to reduce excess body weight and maintain reduction long term in adults and pediatric patients aged (1): 4 years and older with acquired hypothalamic obsesity (HO). 2 years and older with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS). 2 years and older with pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1), or leptin receptor (LEPR) deficiency confirmed by an genetic test demonstrating variants in POMC, PCSK1, or LEPR genes that are interpreted as pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or of uncertain significance (VUS). Limitations of Use: IMCIVREE is not indicated for the treatment of patients with the following conditions as IMCIVREE would not be expected to be effective: Obesity due to suspected POMC, PCSK1, or LEPR-deficiency with POMC , PCSK1 , or LEPR variants classified as benign or likely benign.
