What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Binge Eating episodes per week	Number of Binge Eating episodes per week as measured during baseline and at the end of the treatment period	8 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Binge Eating days per week	Number of Binge Eating days per week as measured during baseline and at the end of the treatment period	8 weeks
Quality of Life improvement (CGI-I)	Quality of life as per assessment on the Clinical Global Improvement (CGI-I) scale measured at randomization and at the end of the treatment period. The CGI is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assessment of the patient's illness at the beginning of the intervention (Baseline state) and rated as: 1, Normal, not at all ill; 2, Borderline mentally ill; 3, Mildly ill; 4, Moderately ill; 5, Markedly ill; 6, Severely ill; 7, Among the most extremely ill patients. The Clinical Global Impression-Improvement scale (CGI-I) is a 7 point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the patient's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention and rated as: 1, very much improved; 2, much improved; 3, minimally improved; 4, no change; 5, minimally worse; 6, much worse; or 7, very much worse.	8 weeks

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Safety assessed by AEs collection	Safety of BP1.4979 based on AEs reporting during the treatment period.	8 weeks
