About this trial
This is a proof-of-concept, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of CSTI-500 in participants with genetically confirmed Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) who are 13 to 50 years of age. Participants will receive increasing doses of CSTI-500, and blood levels will be measured to guide individualized dosing.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Generally healthy male and female individuals between the ages of 13 and 50, inclusive
Documented medical record history of PWS confirmed by genetic testing and PWS Nutritional Phase 3
CGI-S score ≥4 at Screening and Baseline (behavioral)
Screening HQ CT total scores ≥ 13
Disqualifiers
Participation in any clinical study with an investigational drug/device within 3 months prior to screening or during the study
PWS diagnosis of UPD (maternal uniparental disomy).
Current use of DCCR or if used previously, must be off at least 4 weeks before screening.
Recent use (within 3 months) of weight loss agents including prescription, herbal medications, and weight loss supplements. Ozempic, for diabetes, would be exclusionary due to its effect on weight loss.
Trial design
Sequential
Treatments tested in this trial
CSTI-500
DrugCSTI-500 given orally in an open-label, dose-escalation design with individualized dosing.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
Number of participants with TEAEs, defined as an adverse event (AE) that is new or worsened in severity after the dose of study drug (coded using MedDRA).
Proportion achieving target CSTI-500 steady-state Cmax with PK-guided dose individualization
Proportion of participants whose observed CSTI-500 steady-state Cmax is within the protocol-defined target range for the assigned target concentration level, using plasma concentrations measured from scheduled PK sampling to guide dose adjustments.
Incidence of clinically significant findings in laboratory values
Laboratory evaluations include hematology, blood chemistry, and urinalysis parameters.
Incidence of clinically significant findings in 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs)
QT interval, corrected QT interval (QTc), PR interval, QRS duration, and heart rate will be measured by 12-lead electrocardiogram.
Secondary outcomes
Change from baseline in Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials (HQ-CT) total score
Change from baseline in the Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials (HQ-CT) total score. The HQ-CT total score ranges from 0 to 36, with higher scores indicating greater hyperphagia.
Change from baseline in Aberrant Behavior Checklist - Community (ABC-C) total score and subscale scores
Change from baseline in Aberrant Behavior Checklist - Community (ABC-C) total score and subscale scores. The ABC-C is a 58-item caregiver-reported questionnaire, with higher scores indicating more severe aberrant behavior.
Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) score
Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) score assessed at Week 12. The CGI-I is a 7-point ordinal scale, with lower scores indicating greater improvement.
Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) score
Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) score. The CGI-S is a 7-point ordinal scale, with lower scores indicating less severe illness (better outcome).
