Summary:

      The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of cannabidiol oral solution on
      hyperphagia-related behavior in patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). The secondary
      objectives of this study are to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability, impact on
      quality of life, and impact on physical activity of cannabidiol oral solution in patients
      with PWS.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Participant and/or parent(s)/caregiver(s) fully comprehend the informed consent form
             and assent form, understand all study procedures, and can communicate satisfactorily
             with the investigator and study coordinator, in accordance with applicable laws,
             regulations, and local requirements.

          -  Participants with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of Prader-Willi Syndrome using
             standard deoxyribonucleic acid methylation test or fluorescent in situ hybridization.
             Documentation of genetically confirmed diagnosis of Prader-Willi Syndrome is
             acceptable.

          -  A score of ≥10 on the Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials (HQ-CT).

          -  A caregiver is available to complete the HQ-CT.

          -  If female, is either not of childbearing potential (defined as premenarchal or
             surgically sterile [bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or

             birth control:

               1. Hormonal methods such as oral, implantable, injectable, vaginal ring, or
                  transdermal contraceptives for a minimum of 1 full cycle (based on the
                  participant's usual menstrual cycle period) before study drug administration.

               2. Total abstinence from sexual intercourse since the last menses before study drug
                  administration.

               3. Intrauterine device.

                  cream).

          -  Adequate renal function, defined as serum creatinine ≤ 1.5*upper limit of normal (ULN)
             and urine protein/creatinine ratio ≤0.4. The Investigator may deem the participant
             eligible if he or she judges the laboratory values to be not clinically significant.

          -  Adequate hepatic function, defined as total bilirubin ≤ 1.5*ULN and aspartate
             aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels ≤ 3*ULN.

          -  Growth hormone treatment will be permitted if doses have been stable for at least 1
             month prior to screening.

          -  Psychotropic treatment will be permitted and should be stable at least 6 weeks prior
             to screening.
