Filter by:The purpose of this clinical trial is learn whether a behavioral (non-medication) treatment can reduce nightmares in adults with narcolepsy. All participants will receive the treatment and will complete three assessments. Half of the participants will receive the treatment after the first assessment, and half will receive it after the second assessment.
The goal of this clinical trial is to see how NLS-2 (mazindol extended-release) works on symptoms of narcolepsy, including cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness. Approximately 48 participants will take part in the study across the United States. The study treatment (NLS-2 or placebo) will be administered for 8 weeks. After this treatment period, the participant may have the option to participate in a separate long-term extension study during which all participants will be treated with NLS-2.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test two behavioral treatments for nightmares in adults with narcolepsy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is imagery rehearsal therapy (IRT) effective for narcolepsy-related nightmares? - Does adding targeted dream control (TDC) to IRT make it more effective? Participants will be randomized to one of two treatment groups and will be asked to: - Complete a daily log of sleep symptoms for up to 13 weeks. - Attend 7 sessions of treatment. - Complete questionnaires before and after treatment. - Go to the research lab in Evanston, IL to complete a sleep study during a daytime nap (Chicago area residents only).
This is a multicenter, open-label extension of the clinical study NLS-1021, evaluating long-term safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and therapeutic response to treatment with NLS-2 in adult subjects with narcolepsy.
Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder characterised by excessive daytime sleepiness and significantly impacts quality of life. People with narcolepsy demonstrate many potential barriers to being physically active, such as sleepiness and social isolation. Very little is known about how physical performance variables may be affected and influence disease experience in people with narcolepsy. This study aims to profile the physical fitness and physical functioning variables of adults with narcolepsy and to explore the relationship between physical variables, quality of life, symptom severity and disease experience in this cohort.
The overall goal of this research is to test the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) for improving health-related quality of life as a complementary practice to standard care for narcolepsy. This study is a feasibility trial in which 60 adults with narcolepsy will be randomized to receive either a 4-week (brief), 8-week (standard), or 12-week (extended) MBI. Each MBI will be delivered in small groups using a live videoconferencing platform and teaches mindfulness practices to help cope with narcolepsy symptoms. By developing a scalable mind-body intervention, this project can addresses a major research gap on improving psychosocial functioning in people with narcolepsy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a medication called clarithromycin for treating sleepiness in narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia. Studies have shown that clarithromycin can reduce sleepiness, but researchers do not know how clarithromycin does this. This study will look at brain activity (on magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]), inflammation, bacteria living in the gut, and cerebrospinal fluid, to better understand how clarithromycin can reduce sleepiness. This study will recruit 92 participants who will be randomized to receive clarithromycin or a placebo for 14 days.
This EAP will be open to provide access to treatment with pitolisant while a U.S. New Drug Application (NDA) is being prepared and submitted for review for marketing approval. This program will be open to adult patients in the U.S. with Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) associated with narcolepsy, with or without cataplexy. Pitolisant will be made available through treating physicians participating in the program.
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized-withdrawal, multicenter study of the efficacy and safety of JZP-258.
The overall aim of this investigation is to establish whether an action of Xyrem® on the brain dopamine system in patients with narcolepsy, and in a comparison control group, might explain part of the anti-narcoleptic effect of the drug. Trial Objective is to establish, using positron emission tomography (PET), in Xyrem®-naïve narcolepsy with cataplexy patients, and in matched controls, whether a single dose of Xyrem® causes changes in striatal binding of 11C-raclopride and 11C-DTBZ that would suggest altered activity of brain dopamine neurones.
