Filter by:RGH-706 is a novel, potent, and orally active MCHR1 antagonist drug candidate discovered and being developed by Gedeon Richter Plc. for weight management. This will be the first Phase 2, proof-of-concept study using RGH-706 and is the third study in the clinical development program for RGH-706. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of RGH-706 in patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS).
This phase 2B is designed to test the effectiveness of intranasal Oxytocin on Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS). This is a prospective, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, Phase 2B clinical study planned to include around 24 PWS patients aged 2-17 years and 5 months.
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare and complex genetic disease characterized by hypothalamic-pituitary axis dysfunction combining eating disorders associated with hyperphagia and satiety deficiency, mild intellectual deficit and behavioral disorders. This disease requires continuous management through specific therapeutic education to prevent metabolic and cardiorespiratory complications related to obesity. Physical activity must therefore be regular, adapted to the disability, taking into account cognitive deficits and behavioral disorders. Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare and complex genetic disease characterized by hypothalamic-pituitary axis dysfunction combining eating disorders associated with hyperphagia and satiety deficiency, mild intellectual deficit and behavioral disorders. This disease requires continuous management through specific therapeutic education to prevent metabolic and cardiorespiratory complications related to obesity. Physical activity must therefore be regular, adapted to the disability, taking into account cognitive deficits and behavioral disorders. The Unit of Care and Rehabilitation, of the Hôpital Marin d'Hendaye, receives patients with PWS or other obesity from rare causes, at a rate of 1 to 2 annual stays of 1 to 2 months, which allow the regulation of somatic disorders and the initiation of weight loss. However, the difficulty is to keep a stable weight curve between stays. Only 20% of patients over the last 2 years managed to stabilize or decrease their BMI during the 6 months following their hospitalization. The proposed study aims to evaluate an innovative and individualized care program combining Physical activity, Nutrition and therapeutic education for adults with PWS who will be admitted to the hospital for 5 weeks. We hypothesize that this program will allow to stabilize or decrease the BMI of patients at 6 months after hospitalization by inducing a behavioral change in terms of physical activity and eating behavior. We will conduct a randomized controlled trial on 128 patients who will participate in this program, or will benefit from standard care.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tesomet (tesofensine + metoprolol) in subjects with PWS.
A Phase 2, Single-Arm, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of ARD-101 in Patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome
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.
The main objective is to study the effect of deep propioceptive stimulation with a heavy blanket for 2 weeks compared with a placebo blanket on sleep quality and behavior in patients with PWS
This study is a prospective, multicentre, interventional cohort study in children with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) over 4 years (no treatment administered). The duration of the preceding OTTB3 study is 26 weeks. An untreated cohort of children with PWS will be included at an age of 2 years and followed up until an age of 4 years. Regarding the untreated cohort, children with PWS born in France and too old to be recruited in OTBB3 trial, principally those who were born within one year before the start of OTBB3 trial, will be offered to participate in this study. Infants born later who couldn't be included in OTBB3 study will be also offered to participate.
A significantly higher proportion of patients with rare diseases (RD) with intellectual disability (ID), present hyperphagia, overweight or obesity, compared to the general population. Prader-Willi syndrome is the only genetic obesity identified to date associated with hyperghrelinemia, while ghrelin levels are lower than in controls in other situations of obesity. The aim of the study is to find out whether the levels of ghrelin, which are abnormally high in PWS throughout life, are also high in these RD when people have hyperphagia and/or overweight.
Introduction: The prevalence and clinical significance of central adrenal insufficiency (CAI) in adult patients with Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS) remains unclear. Aim: To assess the prevalence of CAI in adults with PWS and to analyse the effects of replacement therapy with hydrocortisone (HCT) in patients with suspected CAI. Material and Methods: Twenty one adult patients with PWS were evaluated. Based on peak cortisol at the 30 minute of the high dose short Synacthen test (HDSST), patients were divided into three groups: CAI (central adrenal insufficiency) - peak cortisol <500nmol/L, intermediate (partial AI) - peak cortisol ≥500 nmol/L and <600 nmol/L and AS (adrenal sufficiency) - peak cortisol ≥ 600 nmol/L. In patients with diagnosed CAI HCT replacement treatment was initiated. Body weight, body fat percentage, signs, and symptoms of CAI were evaluated after 6 and 12 months of treatment.
