A Phase 2 interventional study of BP1.4979 active drug and Placebo in Binge-Eating Disorder, sponsored by Bioprojet. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-11-25.
Sponsored by Bioprojet · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
This pilot study is to assess the efficacy and safety of BP1.4979 15 mg BID in female patients with moderate to severe binge eating disorder (BED), as defined according to DSM-5 guidelines.
First clinical study to assess the effect of the BP1.4979 on BED in female patients over an 8 week-tretament period.
233 studies on the registry are indexed under Binge-Eating Disorder; 53 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 67 is below the median of 77 across 190 interventional studies indexed under Binge-Eating Disorder.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The American Psychiatric Association’s manual of mental health diagnoses. DSM-5 (2013, revised as DSM-5-TR in 2022) replaced DSM-IV, and some studies still name the older edition. “Meets DSM criteria for …” means diagnosed by that edition’s diagnostic criteria, usually by a clinician in an interview.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

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.
