Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Hyperphagia Behavior as Measured by the Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials (HQ-CT)
The HQ-CT measures hyperphagia by Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS)-specialized clinicians. The HQ-CT generates a score ranging from 0 to 36, where a higher score represents more severe abnormal food related behaviors. The change from baseline was calculated from two time points as the value at the later time point minus the value at the earlier time point: value at Week 13 minus value at Baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline In Total Body Weight
Total body weight refers to participants' weight throughout the study. The change from baseline was calculated from two time points as the value at the later time point minus the value at the earlier time point: value at Week 13 minus value at Baseline.
Responder Rate From Baseline Through Study Completion
A responder was defined as having a 6 or more points decrease in HQ-CT score.
Change In Patient Global Impression Of Change (PGI-C) Questionnaire
The change in PGI-C scores at Week 3, Week 9, and Week 13 of the participant are evaluated.
Change From Baseline In The Three Factor Eating Questionnaire - 18-item Version (TFEQ-R18)
The change from baseline to Week 13 of the participant's TFEQ-R18 score is evaluated.
Change From Baseline In Quality Of Life [Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Life Satisfaction And Positive Affect Questionnaires]
The change from baseline to Week 13 of the participant's quality of life (PROMIS life satisfaction and positive affect questionnaire) score is evaluated.
Change From Baseline In Physical Activity (PROMIS Physical Activity And Fatigue Questionnaires)
The change from baseline to Week 13 of the participant's physical activity (PROMIS physical activity and fatigue questionnaires) score is evaluated.

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).

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.

Participants with hypertensive levels lower than those specified may be excluded at the Investigator's discretion if deemed to be in the best interest of the participant. Currently taking felbamate. Uncontrolled sleep apnea. Pregnant or lactating female. History of hypersensitivity to drugs with a similar chemical structure or class as cannabidiol. Unwillingness or inability to follow the procedures outlined in the protocol. Participant judged by the investigator or sponsor (or designee) as unable to comply with the treatment protocol, including appropriate supportive care, follow-up and research tests.
