Background: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic neurobehavioral-metabolic disorder characterized by hyperphagia and behavioral/psychological complications. No approved therapies exist for treating hyperphagia in patients with PWS. DCCR is an oral, once-daily medication currently under development for the treatment of PWS.

Objective: The objective was to determine the efficacy of investigational DCCR on hyperphagia, behavior, and metabolic problems in PWS after long-term exposure to DCCR. The long-term safety of DCCR was presented previously.

Methods: 125 participants with genetically-confirmed PWS ≥4 years of age received daily oral DCCR in Study C601 (Phase 3, 13-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted at 29 sites in the US and UK) and/or its open-label extension, Study C602. The primary efficacy analysis was change in hyperphagia based on the Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials (HQ-CT) Total Score (0-36). Other efficacy analyses included the PWS Profile (PWSP) questionnaire, Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S), Caregiver Global Impression of Severity (Caregiver GI-S), body composition by DXA, and metabolic markers. Efficacy endpoints were analyzed through 3 years of exposure. Metabolic markers were analyzed through 1.5 years.

Results: At Baseline, mean (SD) participant age was 13.4 (7.0) years, 55.2% were female, and mean (SD) HQ-CT Total Score was 21.5 (6.7). Median exposure was 3.0 years (maximum: 4.5 years). Mean improvements in HQ-CT Total Scores were statistically significant versus Baseline at all timepoints through 3 years (Weeks 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 104, 130, and 156) (P <0.0001). The extent of change increased progressively over the first 52 weeks (-6.4 to -9.9 points), was clinically meaningful beginning at Week 26, and was maintained thereafter (-10.7 to -11.6 points). Long-term DCCR administration was associated with significant improvements (P <0.001) in all PWSP domains (aggression, anxiety, compulsivity, depression, disordered thinking, rigidity/irritability) at all timepoints through 3 years. Disease severity per CGI-S and Caregiver GI-S were significantly reduced (P ≤0.0004) at all timepoints through 3 years. Lean body mass was significantly improved at all timepoints (P <0.0001) and increased progressively (LS mean change [SE] at 3 years: 7.3 kg [0.46]; 40.3% increase from Baseline; P <0.0001). Improvements in metabolic markers (insulin, insulin resistance [HOMA-IR], leptin, and adiponectin) through Week 78 were significant (P <0.05) at all but 1 timepoint (HOMA-IR at Week 39; P = 0.0617).

Conclusions: Long-term administration of DCCR in participants with PWS was associated with statistically significant, clinically meaningful, and durable changes in hyperphagia, behavior measures, clinician/caregiver assessments, lean body mass, and metabolic markers.
