Effective Planning and Unmet Needs in Prader-Willi Syndrome Trials

Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is the most common genetic cause of life-threatening obesity. Occurring in close to one out of every 15,000 births, PWS currently has no cure and consists of chronic overeating, mild to moderate intellectual impairment and compulsive behavioral problems. These challenges create difficulties in providing care, and effective treatments have had inconsistent success in recent years. However, multiple assets are currently being studied in hopes to fulfill this unmet need, and treatment paradigms continue to be improved in practices all around the globe to enhance patient well-being.
