Inclusion Criteria * Male or female and 5 through 30 years of age * Prader-Willi syndrome with a documented disease-causing mutation * Increased appetite with decreased satiety accompanied by food seeking (consistent with PWS Nutritional Phase 3) * HQ-CT total score of ≥13 at Screening and Baseline * CGI-S score for hyperphagia in PWS of ≥4 at Screening and Baseline * Lives with a caregiver who understands and is willing and able to adhere to study-related procedures and is willing to participate in all study visits Exclusion Criteria * Genetically diagnosed with Schaaf-Yang syndrome or another genetic, hormonal, or chromosomal cognitive impairment besides PWS * An active upper respiratory infection at the Screening visit or the Baseline visit * Any clinically significant cardiovascular disorder, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, or respiratory disease, including severe asthma * History of, or current, cerebrovascular disease, brain trauma, epilepsy, or frequent migraines. A history of febrile seizures is not exclusionary * Nasal surgery within 1 month of Screening visit or planning to have nasal surgery during the study. * Unwilling to abstain from nasal saline, other nasal irrigation, and other intranasal medications during the Screening period and through the treatment period of the study * Clinically significant irritability or agitation, requiring initiation of or increase in the dose of antipsychotic medication, within the 6 months prior to the Screening visit * Used prostaglandins, prostaglandin analogues, or prostaglandin agonists in the 3 months prior to the Baseline visit. Inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are not exclusionary. * Started a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonist within the 6 months prior to the Screening visit. Treatment with GLP-1 agonist is allowed if the subject has been taking it for more than 6 months prior to Screening. * Used oxytocin, desmopressin (DDAVP), tesofensine, diazoxide choline, melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) agonists (e.g., setmelanotide), or any medication approved to treat hyperphagia within 6 months prior to the Baseline visit * Active psychotic symptoms, a history of psychotic symptoms, or a psychotic disorder * History of suicide attempt or inpatient psychiatric hospitalization * New food-related interventions, including environment or dietary restrictions, within 1 month prior to the Screening visit or during the Screening period (i.e., before the Baseline visit) Additional inclusion/exclusion criteria apply. Subjects will be evaluated at screening to ensure that all criteria for study participation are met.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Change from Baseline at Week 12 in caregiver-rated Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials (HQ-CT) score — Baseline to Week 12
    The HQ-CT is a nine-item questionnaire designed to be completed by caregivers of subjects with PWS. It is a revision of the 11-item HPWSQ-R and has been further validated. The Foundation for Prader-Willi Research has made the HQ-CT available for clinical studies in PWS, and it is the consensus instrument within the PWS research community for measuring observable behaviors that stem from subjects' excessive drive to eat. The HQ-CT should be completed by the same caregiver throughout the study. The HQ-CT will be administered to the caregiver by a rater using standardized prompts. The Food Safe Zone should be administered immediately before administration of the HQ-CT. A higher score on the HQ-CT indicates greater severity of hyperphagia.
