Understanding the Pathophysiology of Schaaf-Yang Syndrome to Improve Care and Treatment Options Dr. Fleischer at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, in conjunction with Dr. Schaaf from Heidelberg University in Germany, is conducting a study entitled, “Understanding the Pathophysiology of Schaaf-Yang Syndrome to Improve Care
Study Purpose The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pitolisant compared with placebo in treating excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) ages 6 to 65 years. Secondary study objectives are to evaluate the impact of pitolisant on: Behavioral symptoms Cognitive function Safety and effectiveness of long-term treatment Caregiver burden The study will consist of a Screening Period, an 11-week Double-Blind Treatment Phase (including a 3-week Titration Period and an 8-week Stable Dose Period), and an optional Open Label Extension (OLE) Phase. The OLE Phase will be multi-year in duration and will continue until either pitolisant is approved for patients with PWS or the Sponsor elects to terminate the study.
We want to learn more about how stress affects appetite in Prader-Willi Syndrome and how different areas of the brain communicate with one another in adolescents. With your help, we can gain more insight into the functioning of the adolescent brain.
Study Purpose The Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) Study will examine the effectiveness of ACT training for fathers of adolescents ages 13-18 with PWS with the goal of improving life satisfaction, reducing stress and improving family functioning. This remote study will use Zoom video conferencing to provide 4 sessions of ACT training. The study is seeking fathers who have an adolescent with PWS age 13-18 to participate in a 4-session, on-line, small group training exercise to reduce father’s perception of stress, improve parenting satisfaction and increase family involvement. Participants must reside at home with their adolescent and the adolescent’s mother, have a personal computer with a camera, microphone and internet access, and agree to privacy and confidentiality of shared information. They must be able to read and speak English. Sessions will be scheduled to accommodate 8 fathers per group. After an initial 90 minute session, three additional 60 minute training sessions will occur at a frequency of every other week. Additional “on-your-own” time will be needed to practice newly acquired skills. Both fathers and mothers will be required to participate in a brief screening interview by phone and then complete several on line questionnaires at the outset, during the study, and at the conclusion of the study. These questionnaires will assess stress, family function and behaviors unique to the adolescent with PWS.
Study Purpose This phase 2, randomized, double blind 12-week treatment trial of Cannabidivarin (CBDV) will assess the affect of CBDV on behavior in people with PWS.
Got Anxiety? Want to help pave the way for new medicines to treat anxiety in PWS?
