Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if ARD-101 works to treat hyperphagia-related behavior in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) when used in a long term setting. It will also teach us about the safety of ARD-101. The main questions it aims to answer are: What medical problems do participants have when taking ARD-101 in a long term setting Does ARD-101 improve the total score of the HQCT-9 (hyperphagia questionnaire for clinical trials, 9 questions)? Eligible participants will: Have completed treatment on the AVK-101-301 study through Week 12/End of Treatment Take ARD-101 every day for up to 12 months. Visit the clinic at Months 1, 3, 6 and 12 during dosing and then have tele-visits at Week 2, Months 3 and 9, then 4 weeks after stopping the ARD-101. Patients/Caregivers will keep a daily diary.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials (HQ-CT) ScoreDuring treatment period (approximately 12 months)The HQ-CT score is a 9 question, 5-point scale to describe the PWS patient's hyperphagia food-related problem behaviors. It is completed by the patient's caregiver. Each question is scored from 0 to 4. The minimum total score is 0 (hyperphagia related behavior symptoms not exhibited) and the maximum total score is 36 (hyperphagia related behavior symptoms are observed).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Caregiver Global Impression of Severity (CaGI-S) for Hyperphagia in Prader-Willi patientsDuring treatment period (approximately 12 months)The CaGI-S is a single-item, 7-point scale to describe the severity of the PWS patient's hyperphagia (excessive hunger). It is completed by the patient's caregiver. The minimum score is 1 (not present) and the maximum score is 7 (extremely severe). A higher score indicates a worse severity of hyperphagia.
