Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

Positive results in preclinical and clinical studies in adults and infants with Prader-Willi syndrome lead investigators to set up a new study in children with Prader-Willi syndrome. The objective of this study is to document effects of oxytocin intranasal administrations on behavioural troubles in children with Prader-Willi syndrome aged from 3 to 12 years.

Interventions

  • OxytocinDrug
  • PlaceboDrug
  • OxytocinDrug

Arms2

  • Experimental

    Oxytocin

    Daily intranasal administrations of oxytocin for 12 weeks, followed by an open-label period of 12 weeks of oxytocin. Oxytocin dose will be 8 International Unit for patients aged from 3 to 6 years and 16 International Unit for patients aged from 7 to 12 years.

  • Placebo comparator

    Placebo

    Daily intranasal administrations of placebo for 12 weeks, followed by an open-label period of 12 weeks of oxytocin. Oxytocin dose will be International Unit for patients aged from 3 to 6 years and 16 International Unit for patients aged from 7 to 12 years.

    Time frame · Week 12

    Registry description

    It's variation between inclusion and 12 weeks of total score total problems from the Child Behavior Check List Questionnaire.

Secondary outcomes(8)

    Time frame · Week 12

    Registry description

    It is the variation of each of the three sub-scores obtained from the Dykens hyperphagia questionnaire between day 0 and week 12.

    Time frame · Week 12

    Registry description

  3. Evaluation of auto- and hetero-aggressive after 12 weeks of oxytocin/placebo treatment.

    Time frame · Week 12

    Registry description

    It is variation between day 0 and week 12 of the total score obtained from the self-aggression assessment questionnaire.

  4. Evaluation of psychopathology after 12 weeks of oxytocin/placebo treatment.

    Time frame · Week 12

    Registry description

    It is the variation of the following sub-scores obtained from the Child Behaviour Check List questionnaire (only the following 3 subscales) between day 0 and week 12.

  5. Evaluation of global clinical status after 12 weeks of oxytocin/placebo treatment.

    Time frame · Weeks 12

    Registry description

    It is improvement of the patient's overall clinical condition after 12 weeks of treatment with oxytocin/placebo. It's assessed by the Clinical Global Impression Scale's score. This scale of improvement of Clinical Global Impression is a 7-point ordinal qualitative scale of "very greatly improved" rated + 3 to "very strongly aggravated" rated -3. The result is expressed in total score which varies from -3 to +3.

  6. Evaluation of acyl and desacyl ghrelin plasma levels after 12 weeks of oxytocin/placebo treatment.

    Time frame · Week 12

    Registry description

    It is evolution of circulating levels of acylated and deacylated ghrelin will be the variations of these rates and the variation of the relationships between day 0 and week 12.

  7. Evaluation of attentional abilities after 12 weeks of oxytocin/placebo treatment, for patients aged from 7 to 12 years at inclusion.

    Time frame · Week 12

    Registry description

    It is evolution of attentional abilities is evaluated by a computerized test, the Attention Network Test.

  8. Evaluation of metabolic brain resting state after 12 weeks of oxytocin/placebo treatment, for patients aged from 7 to 12 years at inclusion.

    Time frame · Week 12

    Registry description

    It is evolution of metabolic brain resting state is evaluated by a magnetic resonance imaging to study the cerebral metabolism between day 0 and week 12.
