  • The PATH from PWS subjects showed a mean (SE) change of -2.5 (0.38) and -3.4 (0.48) after 26 and 52 weeks compared with that of -8.4 (0.72) and -9.4 (0.74) in matched C602 subjects, showing a statistically significant improvement with DCCR.
  • Patients in study C602 showed no significant change in body fat mass and statistically significant improvements in lean body mass and the ratio of lean body mass to fat mass.
  • Subjects demonstrated highly significant improvements in leptin, adiponectin, and fasting insulin. 
  • Significant improvement in insulin sensitivity was also observed.
