    Measured: up to 24 hours

  2. Pharmacokinetic parameters: AUC0-24

    AUC0-24 derived from PK samples taken at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 hours

    Measured: up to 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pharmacokinetic parameters: CL/F

    CL/F derived from PK samples taken at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 hours

    Measured: up to 24 hours

  2. Pharmacokinetic parameters: Tmax

    Tmax derived from PK samples taken at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 hours

    Measured: up to 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study of Prader-Willi Syndrome, run by Essentialis, Inc..

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 7 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Pharmacokinetic parameters: Cmax (time frame: up to 24 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Sep 2016.
