Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess safety of pitolisant in eligible participants with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) who completed the End of Treatment (EOT) visit in a parent study (HBS-101-CL-002 [Open Label Extension (OLE)], HBS- 101-CL-004, or HBS-101-CL-312 OLE).

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 3, open-label study evaluating the long-term safety of pitolisant in approximately 150 participants with Prader-Willi syndrome who have completed participation in qualifying parent studies (HBS-101-CL-002 [OLE], HBS-101-CL-004, or HBS-101-CL-312 [OLE]).

Safety assessments will be conducted every 6 months. This study is open to participants from the qualified parent studies who were enrolled at US sites only.

Inclusion criteria

Each participant must meet the following criteria to be enrolled in this study:

  1. Ability to provide voluntary, written (participant, if applicable, or parent[s]/legal guardian[s]) and, where applicable, voluntary, written assent (participant, as appropriate).
  2. Completion of an EOT visit in one of the following parent studies with pitolisant: HBS-101-CL-002 (OLE), HBS-101-CL-004, or HBS-101-CL-312 (OLE).

    Note: The parent study EOT visit may be completed after the participant completes screening for study HBS-101-CL-314 to allow for continuation of study drug between the 2 studies.

  3. A participant who is a female of (FCBP) must have a negative urine pregnancy test at the last in-person visit of the parent study prior to screening and must agree to remain abstinent or use an effective method of nonhormonal to prevent pregnancy for the duration of the study and for 21 days after final dose of study drug. Participants using hormonal contraception must also use an alternative nonhormonal contraceptive method during treatment with pitolisant and for at least 21 days after discontinuing treatment. An FCBP is defined as a female who is post menarche, has an intact uterus and at least 1 ovary, and is \<1 year .
  4. Male participants who are not azoospermic (vasectomized or due to a medical cause) must agree to use a barrier method of contraception for the duration of the study and for 21 days after the final dose of study drug.
  5. In the opinion of the Investigator, the participant/parent(s)/legal guardian(s) are capable of understanding and willing to comply with the requirements of the protocol and administration of oral study drug.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

A participant who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from enrollment in the study:

  1. Does not agree to discontinue any prohibited medication or substances listed in this protocol.
  2. Is planning to breastfeed over the course of the study. Lactating women must agree not to breastfeed for the duration of the study and for 7 days after final dose of study drug.
  3. Participation in an interventional research study with an medication or device, other than pitolisant, for the duration of the study.
  4. Has a body surface area (BSA) corrected estimated (eGFR) of \<15 mL/minute.
  5. Has a history of severe hepatic impairment ( Class C).
  6. Is receiving or is unable to discontinue a medication known to prolong the .
  7. Has a significant risk of committing suicide or suicidality based on history, routine psychiatric examination, Investigator's judgment, or an answer of "yes" to question 4 or 5 of the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), that was completed at the last visit in the parent study.
  8. Based on the judgment of the Investigator, is unsuitable for the study for any reason, including but not limited to unstable or uncontrolled medical conditions (including psychiatric and neurological conditions) or a medical condition that might interfere with the conduct of the study, confound interpretation of study results, pose a health risk to the participant, or compromise the integrity of the study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

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.

Informed consent

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.

Childbearing potential

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.

Contraception

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.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Child-Pugh class

A score of how well the liver works in people with liver disease such as cirrhosis: class A is mild, B moderate and C severe.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of participants reporting Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is any adverse event reported during treatment with study drug in this study and up to 30 days after final dose of study drug, or any worsening of a pre-existing condition reported during treatment with study drug and up to 30 days after final dose of study drug.

    Time frame: From the end of the EOT visit of the parent study through 30 days after the final dose of study drug.

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 Mar 17, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
