The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if ARD-101 works to treat hyperphagia-related behavior in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). It will also teach us about the safety of ARD-101. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does ARD-101 improve the total score of the HQCT-9 (hyperphagia questionnaire for clinical trials, 9 questions)? * What medical problems do participants have when taking ARD-101? Researchers will compare ARD-101 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if ARD-101 works to treat hyperphagia in PWS subjects. Eligible participants will: * Take ARD-101 or a placebo every day for 12 weeks. * Visit the clinic or have a tele-visit once every 2 to 4 weeks during dosing and then have a tele-visit 4 weeks after stopping the ARD-101 or placebo. * Patients/Caregivers will keep a daily diary. Participants who complete the study may be eligible to enter an open-label extension study where everyone will receive ARD-101.

Change in Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials (HQ-CT) Score
The HQ-CT score is a 9 question, 5-point scale to describe the PWS patient's hyperphagia food-related problem behaviors. It is completed by the patient's caregiver. Each question is scored from 0 to 4. The minimum total score is 0 (hyperphagia related behavior symptoms not exhibited) and the maximum total score is 36 (hyperphagia related behavior symptoms are observed).
Time frame: Baseline to Week 12
Change in Caregiver Global Impression of Severity (CaGI-S) for Hyperphagia in Prader-Willi patients
The CaGI-S is a single-item, 7-point scale to describe the severity of the PWS patient's hyperphagia (excessive hunger). It is completed by the patient's caregiver. The minimum score is 1 (not present) and the maximum score is 7 (extremely severe). A higher score indicates a worse severity of hyperphagia.
Time frame: Baseline to Week 12
Change in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) Score for Hyperphagia in Prader-Willi patients
The CGI-S is a single-item, 7-point scale designed to assess the severity of the PWS patient's hyperphagia (excessive hunger). It is assessed by the clinician and considers the clinician's experience with the PWS population. The minimum score is 1 (normal, not at all ill) and the maximum score is 7 (among the most extremely ill patients). A higher score indicates a worse severity of hyperphagia.
Time frame: Baseline to Week 12
