Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

4 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Provide voluntary, written informed consent (parent(s) / legal guardian(s) of patient); provide voluntary, written assent (patients, as appropriate)
  • Genetically-confirmed Prader-Willi syndrome and hyperphagic
  • In a stable care setting for at least 6 months prior to Visit 1
  • Caregiver must have been caring for the patient for at least 6 months prior to Visit 1

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have participated in an interventional clinical study (i.e., investigational drug or device, approved drugs or device evaluated for unapproved use) within prior 3 months
  • Positive urine pregnancy test (in females of child-bearing potential) or females who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and/or plan to become pregnant or to breast-feed during or within 30 days after study participation
  • Any other known disease and/or condition, which would prevent, in the opinion of the Investigator, the patient from completing all study visits and assessments required by the protocol

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Hyperphagia Questionnaire (HQ-CT) Change From Baseline at Visit 7 (Week 13)
Time Frame: Baseline to Visit 7 (Week 13)
Hyperphagia-related behaviors were assessed by the validated hyperphagia questionnaire for clinical trials (HQ-CT), an instrument designed to measure symptoms of food related preoccupations and behaviors that was completed by the caregiver. The HQ-CT consists of nine items with responses ranging from 0-4 units each (possible total score range: 0-36). The HQ-CT was assessed at Screening, Baseline (Visit 2), and approximately every 4 weeks post-dose at Week 4, Week 8, and Week 13. A decrease in score from baseline represented improvement.
Baseline to Visit 7 (Week 13)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) at Visit 7 (Week 13)
Time Frame: at Visit 7 (Week 13)
The Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) is a single statement designed to assess the Investigator's overall perception of change in the subject's condition across the course of the clinical trial. The Investigator provided a response to "Compared to the subject's condition at enrollment, the subject's condition is:" by rating the subject's behavior using a 7-point response scale: Very much improved, Much improved, Minimally improved, No change, Minimally worse, Much worse, and Very much worse. The Investigator only took into account the subject's PWS condition.
at Visit 7 (Week 13)
Caregiver Global Impression of Change (GI-C) at Visit 7 (Week 13)
Time Frame: at Visit 7 (Week 13)
The Caregiver Global Impression of Change (GI-C) is a single statement designed to assess the caregiver's overall perception of change in the subject across the course of the clinical trial. The caregiver provided a response to "Please choose the response below that best describes the overall change in the person's PWS since they started taking the study medication" using a 7-point graded response scale: Very much better, Moderately better, A little better, No change, A little worse, Moderately worse, and Very much worse.
at Visit 7 (Week 13)
Change in Fat Mass (kg) From Baseline at Visit 7 (Week 13)
Time Frame: Baseline to Visit 7 (Week 13)
Whole body scans were performed. Reports included a breakdown of the following regions: left arm, right arm, trunk, left leg, right leg, and head. Each region was evaluated for body fat mass (g).
Baseline to Visit 7 (Week 13)

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
