Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Part A: Change from baseline in the 9-item Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials (HQ-CT) [ Time Frame: Part A: Baseline to Day 42 ]
    The HQ-CT is a questionnaire designed to measure symptoms of food-related preoccupations, problems, and behaviors completed by the caregiver. The scale provides a composite value from 9 questions, each rated on a scale of 0 to 4 units (possible total score range: 0 to 36). Higher scores represent increased hyperphagia.

  2. Part B: Change from baseline in the 9-item Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials (HQ-CT) [ Time Frame: Part B: Baseline to Day 105 ]
    The HQ-CT is a questionnaire designed to measure symptoms of food-related preoccupations, problems, and behaviors completed by the caregiver. The scale provides a composite value from 9 questions, each rated on a scale of 0 to 4 units (possible total score range: 0 to 36). Higher scores represent increased hyperphagia.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Part A and Part B: Change from baseline in the 9-item Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials (HQ-CT) [ Time Frame: Part A: Baseline to Days 28, 56, 98 and 133; Part B: Baseline to Days 42, 70 and 119 ]
    The HQ-CT is a questionnaire designed to measure symptoms of food-related preoccupations, problems, and behaviors completed by the caregiver. It consists of 9 items, with a 2-week recall period. The scale provides a composite value from 9 questions, each rated on a scale of 0 to 4 units (possible total score range: 0 to 36). Higher scores represent increased hyperphagia.

  2. Part A and Part B: Change from baseline in Hyperphagia Questionnaire for Clinical Trials (HQ-CT) domain scores (drive and severity, self-directed behavior) [ Time Frame: Part A: Baseline to Days 28, 42, 56, 98 and 133; Part B: Baseline to Days 42, 70, 105 and 119 ]
    The HQ-CT is a questionnaire designed to measure symptoms of food-related preoccupations, problems, and behaviors completed by the caregiver. The scale provides a composite value from 9 questions, each rated on a scale of 0 to 4 units (possible total score range: 0 to 36). Higher scores represent increased hyperphagia.

  3. Part A and Part B: Absolute change from baseline in body weight [ Time Frame: Part A: Screening, Days 1, 14, 28, 42, 56, 98 and 133; Part B: Screening, Days 1, 14, 28, 42, 70, 105 and 119 ]

  7. Part A and Part B: Change from baseline in metabolic biomarkers measured from serum [ Time Frame: Part A: Baseline to Day 42; Part B: Baseline to Days 42, 70 and 105 ]
  8. Part A and Part B: Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) [ Time Frame: Part A: Baseline to Days 28, 42 and 56; Part B: Baseline to Days 42, 70, 105 and 119 ]
    The CGI-S rates overall symptom severity on a 4-point scale ranging from 1 (normal) to 7 (severely symptomatic), as assessed by the investigator.

  9. Part A and Part B: Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) [ Time Frame: Part A: Days 28 and 42; Part B: Baseline to Days 42, 70 and 105 ]
    The CGI-I is a single statement designed to assess the investigator's overall perception of change in the patient's condition across the course of the clinical trial. The CGI-I uses a 7-point response scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).

  10. Part A and Part B: Change from baseline in Caregiver Global Impression-Severity (CaGI-S) [ Time Frame: Part A: Baseline to Days 2 and 42; Part B: Baseline to Days 42, 70 and 105 ]
    The CaGI-S rates severity of the patient's food-related behavior assessed by the caregiver following a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (severe).

  11. Part A and Part B: Caregiver Global Impression-Change (CaGI-C) [ Time Frame: Part A: Days 28, 42, 56, 98 and 133; Part B: Days 42, 70, 105 and 119 ]
    The CaGI-C is a single item designed to assess the primary caregiver's overall perception of change in the patient's hyperphagia symptoms. Responses are rated using a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (much better) to 7 (much worse).

  12. Part A and Part B: Change from baseline in Zarit Burden Interview-22 (ZBI-22) [ Time Frame: Part A: Baseline to Day 42; Part B: Baseline to Day 105 ]
    The ZBI-22 is a self-reported questionnaire in which primary caregivers rate the level of burden currently experienced while taking care of the patient rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (nearly always).
