Study summary

This was a study investigating RAD011 in participants diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). The primary objective of the Phase 2 part of this study was to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple dose levels of RAD011 in order to select 1 or 2 dose level(s) for further evaluation in the Phase 3 part of the study. In Phase 3, the primary objective was to assess the effect of RAD011 on hyperphagia-related behavior in participants with PWS.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline to Week 34 in the Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials (HQ-CT) Questionnaire

    The HQ-CT measures hyperphagia by Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS)-specialized clinicians. The HQ-CT generates a score ranging from 0 to 36, where a higher score represents more severe abnormal food related behaviors. The change from baseline was calculated from two time points as the value at the later time point minus the value at the earlier time point.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 34

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline to Week 34 in Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)- Associated Irritability Using the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) Questionnaire - Irritability Subscale (ABC-I)

    The ABC questionnaire is an informant-rated questionnaire assessing severity of behavioral symptoms. The Irritability subscale of the ABC covers symptoms such as agitation, aggression, meltdowns, and self-harm. The ABC-I contains 15 items and each item is scored as 0 (never a problem), 1 (slight problem), 2 (moderately serious problem), or 3 (severe problem). The total score is the sum of individual items scores which ranges from 0 (no problem) to 45 (severe problem), with higher score indicating more severe condition.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 34

  2. Change From Baseline to Week 34 in Hyperphagia as Measured by the Clinician Global Impression of Change (CGI-C)

    The CGI-C of hyperphagia is a single-item, clinician-rated measure, assessing the clinician's impression about changes in the patient's hyperphagia condition since the start of taking the study medication at the initiation of the Tolerability Period. The CGI-C of hyperphagia utilizes a 5-point response scale: 1=Much better; 2=A little better; 3=No change; 4=A little worse; 5=Much worse. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 34

  3. Change From Baseline to Week 34 in Hyperphagia as Measured by the Clinician Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S)

    The CGI-S of hyperphagia is a single-item, clinician-rated measure, assessing the clinician's impression of the severity of a patient's hyperphagia condition. The CGI-S of hyperphagia utilizes a 5-point response scale: 1=None; 2=Mild; 3=Moderate; 4=Severe; 5=Very Severe. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 34

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 19, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
