About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Multiple-Dose, Multi-Center Safety and Efficacy Study of Co-Administration of Tesofensine/Metoprolol for 12 Weeks in Adult and Adolescent Patients With Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), Followed by Two Open Label 12 Weeks Extension Periods for Adolescent Patients

Two-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, and multiple-dose clinical study followed by two open label extension periods.

Read the detailed description

Two-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, and multiple-dose clinical study. Study medication will be administered for 91 days. The study will be conducted in two steps:

  • Step 1 - 9 adult subjects with PWS was treated.
  • Sponsor review - following the completion of the treatment of the adult subjects, unblinded efficacy, safety, Pharmacokinetic (PK) data as well as all data from the study in subjects with type 2 diabetes (TM001) will be reviewed by sponsor and an interim analysis will be done. Following competent authority positive opinion regarding the interim analysis and unblinded data the study will proceed to:
  • Step 2 - 9 adolescent subjects with PWS was treated.
  • OLE (Open Label Extension) I - Participation in a 12-week OLE I was offered to subjects who completed Step 2. 8 subjects entered OLE I.
  • OLE (Open Label Extension) II - Participation in a 12-week OLE II was offered to subjects who completed OLE I. 6 subjects continued to OLE II.
Being tested

  1. Percent Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Body Weight

    Percent change from baseline to end of treatment in mean body weight. LOCF.

    Measured: DB Step 1: Day 1 to Day 91; DB Step 2: Day 1 to Day 91; OLE I: Day 91 to Day 181; OLE II: Day 181 to Day 271

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Body Weight

    Change from baseline to end of treatment in body weight [kg]. LOCF.

    Measured: DB Step 1: Day 1 to Day 91; DB Step 2: Day 1 to Day 91; OLE I: Day 91 to Day 181; OLE II: Day 181 to Day 271

  2. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials (HQ-CT) Score

    Change from baseline to end of treatment in HQ-CT score. LOCF. HQ-CT score was based upon a questionnaire with 9 items, each of them yielding a score between 0 and 4 resulting in a maximum HQ-CT score of 36. Change in HQ-CT answers (by question and in total) calculated as score at visit 2, 5, 9 or 14 minus score at screening visit 1 was analysed and presented using standard descriptive statistics (mean, median, standard deviation, minimum and maximum value). A decrease in total score indicates an improvement in hyperphagia. If less than three questions were answered by a subject, the missing answers were imputed by the mean score of all other available answers. In case of more than three missing answers, the total score was not calculated. For further information please refer to protocol appendix section 17.1.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tesofensine/Metoprolol in people with Confirmed Genetic Diagnosis of Prader-Willi Syndrome, run by Saniona at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Czechia, Hungary. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Feb 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percent Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Body Weight (time frame: DB Step 1: Day 1 to Day 91; DB Step 2: Day 1 to Day 91; OLE I: Day 91 to Day 181; OLE II: Day 181 to Day 271). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Feb 2024.
