Phase 2 Study: Intranasal Oxytocin vs. Placebo for the Treatment of Hyperphagia in Children and Adolescents With Prader-Willi Syndrome

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This study is a phase 2 randomized double blind 8-week treatment trial of intranasal OXT vs. placebo in 50 subjects aged 5 to 17 years with PWS in order to assess IN-OXT's affect on measurements of (1) eating behaviors (2) repetitive behaviors (3) weight and body composition (4) quality of life (5) salivary OXT and hormone levels (including ghrelin, pancreatic polypeptide, peptide YY, Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1), insulin, glucagon, testosterone, and estrogen). If superior to placebo, this data will add to the current knowledge that OXT is an effective treatment for hyperphagia as well as other symptoms of PWS. Funding Source- FDA OOPD
