Testing the Study Drug ACP-101 for People with Prader-Willi syndrome

(IRB#: IRB_00171100)

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is caused by a defective gene in a persons body. This causes hyperphagia (extreme hunger) and behavioral symptoms (such as obsessive-compulsive symptoms). This study will test the study drug ACP-101 to treat people with PWS. This study wants to see if the medication will help people and is safe. People in the study will be randomly chosen to be treated with the study drug ACP-101 or a placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have the medication. The study drug is taken as a nasal (nose) spray. Being in the study requires attending in-person visits at the study clinic. Study participation lasts about 16 weeks. Medical tests will be done during the study to track the health of participants.
