New treatment option for Prader-Willi Syndrome
Official title A Study of CSTI-500 in Patients With Prader-Willi Syndrome
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07348601
What this study is testing
What is CSTI-500?
CSTI-500 is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for prader-willi syndrome.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- 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.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
