Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female subject between 18 and 55 years of age, inclusive, at time of informed consent.
  • Subject meets the following DSM 5 criteria for a diagnosis of BED. An episode of binge eating is characterized by both:

  • Eating much more rapidly than normal
  • Eating until uncomfortably full
  • Eating large amounts when not feeling hungry
  • Eating alone because of embarrassment
  • Feeling disgusted with oneself, guilty afterward
  • Binge-eating episodes are also associated with marked distress regarding the episode and not associated with recurrent use of compensatory behavior (eg, bulimia nervosa).
  • Diagnosis is confirmed based on the eating-disorders module of the SCID, clinician review of subject diaries, and the EDE Q.
  • Subject has a BED diagnosis including at least 2 binge eating days a week for at least 6 months prior to screening.
  • Subject's BED is of at least moderate severity.
  • Subject has a negative breath alcohol test and a negative urine drug screen (UDS) for any illicit drug.
  • +4 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Subject has body weight index (BMI) of 18 kg/m2or less or greater than 45 kg/m2.
  • Subject has a lifetime history or current symptoms of bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa.

  • Subject has used a psychostimulant or mood stabilizer within the 3 months prior to screening.
  • Subject has used any medications for the treatment of binge eating, other eating disorders, obesity, or weight gain or any other medication that could result in weight gain or weight loss including over-the-counter and herbal products within the 3 months prior to screening.
  • Subject has a lifetime history of psychotic disorder, bipolar disorder, hypomania, dementia, or ADHD as defined by the DSM 5 criteria.
  • Subject has a history of moderate to severe depression based on investigator's judgment within the 6 months prior to screening or is currently taking or has taken any medication for depression during the 3 months prior to screening.

  • Subject has MADRS score ≥ 18 at screening and Baseline visit.
  • Subject is considered a suicide risk or has any previous history of suicide attempt.
  • Subject answers "yes" to "suicidal ideation" item 4 (active suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan) or item 5 (active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent) on the C SSRS assessment at screening (in the past month). Subjects who answer "yes" to this question must be referred to the Investigator for follow up evaluation.
  • Subject has type I diabetes mellitus or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
  • Subject with type II diabetes mellitus has hemoglobin A1c ≥ 6.5% at screening, or has initiated treatment with or changed the dose of a glucose-lowering agent within 3 months prior to screening.
