Intervention(s)

Trade Name: ACOMPLIA 20 mg film-coated tablets

Pharmaceutical Form: Film-coated tablet

Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: To explore the effects of rimonabant in adults with prader willi syndrome by measuring weight reduction and body composition.
Primary end point(s): Body weight
BMI
Waist/hip ratio
Body composition (measured by Bio-impedance)
3-days food recall, including VAS rating of hunger
Blood lipids (total, HDL, LDL, cholesterol, Lp(a), triglycerides)
P-glucose, insulin, HOMA-index
Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives will be to evaluate the effect of rimonabant on metabolic parameters (blood glucose, insulin, blood lipids, adipoectin, leptin and grehlin) and insulin resistance (HOMA-index). In addition a decrease in appetite and food intake will be recorded. Safety will be measured by analyse of liver enzymes (ASAT, ALAT) repeated measurements of blood pressure and pulse, and by responses to questionnaires concerning wellbeing, and by evaluating adverse events.
