A Phase 2 Study to Evaluate Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of PBF-999 in the Treatment of Patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome.
This research study is testing a new medicine called PBF-999 for people who have Prader-Willi Syndrome. The main aims are to find out if the medicine is safe and if it causes any side effects. We also want to see how well it works to help people with their condition. Another part of the study is to understand how the medicine is absorbed and used by the body. This is an early stage of testing (called a Phase 2 study), where a small group of people try the medicine to help us learn more before it can be offered to more people. Participants will take PBF-999 or a dummy pill (placebo) to see the difference.

Vad handlar denna studie om?
This study is about a new medicine, PBF-999, for people who have Prader-Willi Syndrome. Prader-Willi Syndrome is a complex genetic condition that affects many parts of the body. People with Prader-Willi Syndrome can experience a range of symptoms, and researchers are always looking for new ways to help manage these.
In this study, we are trying to find out if PBF-999 is safe to use and what effects it might have. This is an important step because before any new medicine can be approved for general use, it needs to be thoroughly tested. We will be looking closely at any side effects people experience, which we call 'adverse events', to make sure the medicine is well-tolerated. We will also be using questionnaires to understand how the medicine might be affecting people's quality of life and general well-being.
We'll also collect some information about how the body handles PBF-999, such as how much of the medicine gets into the blood and how long it stays there. This helps us understand the best way to give the medicine. By carefully studying these things, we hope to learn if PBF-999 could be a helpful new treatment option for people with Prader-Willi Syndrome in the future.

Svara på dessa snabba frågor för att se om du kan vara berättigad. Detta är endast en vägledning — forskarteamet fattar det slutgiltiga beslutet.
- Är du 18 år eller äldre?
- Do you have a diagnosis of Prader-Willi Syndrome?
- Kan du delta i regelbundna möten på studiekliniken?
- Are you comfortable potentially receiving a placebo (dummy pill) instead of the active medicine?
- Are you willing to provide blood and urine samples?
Vad innebär deltagande?
If you decide to take part in this study, you'll be given either the new medicine PBF-999 or a 'dummy' pill (called a placebo). A placebo looks just like the real medicine but contains no active ingredients. Neither you nor the study team will know if you are taking the actual medicine or the placebo. This helps us get clearer results.
Taking part will involve regular visits to the study clinic. During these visits, the study team will carry out health checks, ask you questions about how you're feeling, and take blood or urine samples. They might use questionnaires to understand how the treatment is affecting you and measure certain body markers. The exact number of visits and their individual length will be explained by the study team, along with the total duration you'll be involved in the study.

Vanliga frågor
What is Prader-Willi Syndrome?
Prader-Willi Syndrome is a complex genetic condition that affects many parts of the body, including growth, development, and appetite.
Vad är en 'Fas 2'-studie?
A Phase 2 study is an early stage of testing a new medicine. It helps us learn more about if the medicine is safe, how well it works, and what doses might be best, after initial safety checks.
Vad är en 'placebo'?
A placebo is a 'dummy' pill that looks just like the study medicine but doesn't contain any active ingredients. It's used to compare against the real medicine to see its true effects.
Kommer jag att veta om jag får den riktiga medicinen eller placebo?
No, neither you nor the study team will know. This is called 'blinding' and helps ensure the study results are as fair and accurate as possible.
What does 'adverse events' mean?
Adverse events are any unwanted or unexpected medical problems that happen during a study. They are carefully monitored to understand the safety of the medicine.
