The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effects of a new drug called BMB-101 in people with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). This study is designed as a multi-centre, double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled 2-part study with a blinded main phase followed up an open label extension phase.
This study is designed as a 2-part study: Part 1 is designed as a randomized phase, lasting up to 16 weeks. There will be a 4-week screening period. Following the screening period, participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either BMB-101 or placebo. Participants will enter into a weekly ascending Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) titration phase of 4 weeks followed by a maintenance phase of 8 weeks. There will be 5 clinic visits and 4 telephone visits. Part 2 is designed to follow after the completion of the maintenance phase in Part 1. Participants at the discretion of the Investigator may elect to continue into an unblinded, expandable open label phase to receive BMB-101. Participants who do not elect to continue into the open label phase will be tapered from assigned study treatment over 4 weeks following completion of the maintenance phase.

Participants will receive weekly ascending oral doses of BMB-101(10 mg/mL) twice daily (BID) for 16 weeks. Doses will be based on weight (kg) and will initially start at 1.67 mg/kg. Doses may be titrated in 0.33 mg/kg increments based on tolerability up to a maximum dose of 2.0 mg/kg.

Change from Baseline in Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials scores over time in Prader-Willi Syndrome participants.
The Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials consists of 9 items; each rated on a scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (severe symptoms). The total score ranges from 0 to 36, with higher scores indicating worse hyperphagia symptoms. A score of approximately 13 is associated with moderate to severe hyperphagia, and a score of 22 or greater is associated with severe hyperphagia.
Time frame: 16 weeks
Change from Baseline in hyperphagia severity score as measured by the Caregiver Global Impression of Severity 7-point scale over time.
This scale is a single-item measure from 1 to 7, where higher scores indicate greater severity.
Time frame: 16 weeks
Change from Baseline in hyperphagia severity score as measured by the Clinician Global Impression of Severity 7-point scale over time.
This scale is a single-item measure from 1 to 7, where higher scores indicate greater severity.
Time frame: 16 weeks
Change from Baseline in severity of Prader-Willi Syndrome disease scores as measured by the Clinician Global Impression of Severity 7-point scale over time.
This scale is a single-item measure from 1 to 7, where higher scores indicate greater severity.
Time frame: 16 weeks
Change from Baseline in improvement of Prader-Willi Syndrome disease scores as measured by the Clinician Global Impression of Improvement 7-point scale over time.
This scale is a single-item measure from 1 to 7, where 1 indicates very much improved, and 7 indicates very much worse.
Time frame: 16 weeks
