KOL background and credentials
Dr. Jennifer Miller: Pediatric Endocrinologist, University of Florida, follows over 500 PWS patients globally and has extensive clinical trial experience.
Dr. Theresa Strong: Co-founder and Director of Research at the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research, directs its grant program, and is a parent of a PWS patient.

Market insights and analysis
PWS is a rare genetic disorder affecting about 10,000 in the U.S. and 400,000 globally, with a $4.6B U.S. market opportunity based on current pricing.
PWS affects 1 in 15,000 live births and is characterized by hyperphagia and significant neurobehavioral challenges.
Existing therapies inadequately address both hyperphagia and neuropsychiatric symptoms, leaving most symptoms unaddressed and highlighting a high unmet need.
