Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess patient reported outcomes with armodafinil treatment in terms of improvement in sleepiness, satisfaction with treatment, impact on ability to engage in life activities (ie, daily or work and family and/or social activities), and effects on fatigue. Clinician ratings on patient response to armodafinil treatment will also be assessed.
A 12 Month, Open-Label, Flexible Dosage Extension Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Armodafinil (CEP-10953) in the Treatment of Patients with Excessive Sleepiness Associated with Narcolepsy, Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome, or Chronic Shift Work Sleep Disorder
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of treatment with PROVIGIL in children and adolescents with excessive sleepiness (ES) associated with narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), when administered for up to 6 months.
The primary objective is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy. Both of the subjective and objective sleepiness of the patients were assessed in the experiment by repeat measures.
This is a long-term, open-label, extension of the OMC-SXB-7 trial. Participants from the OMC-SXB-7 open-label trial may be entered without any requirement as to length of participation in that trial. Approximately 70 patients are expected to participate at up to 6 investigative centers located in Canada. The trial will continue for up to 24 months or until marketing approval, whichever occurs sooner.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of treatment with PROVIGIL in children and adolescents with excessive sleepiness (ES) associated with narcolepsy or OSAHS (obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea), when administered for up to 12 months. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated throughout the study by means of adverse event information, clinical laboratory test results, vital signs measurements, and body weight and height measurements; quarterly physical examination findings; and 12 lead electrocardiograph (ECG) evaluations at the end of the study. In addition, the cognitive and behavioral effects of PROVIGIL will be assessed quarterly as measured by the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 6-18 (CBCL/6-18), a brief psychiatric interview, and the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (KBIT 2).
Primary Objectives: The primary objectives of the study are to determine the effectiveness of PROVIGIL treatment, compared to placebo treatment, in children and adolescents with excessive sleepiness (ES) associated with narcolepsy, as assessed by: - mean sleep latency from the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) (average of 4 naps performed at 0900, 1100, 1300, and 1500) at the last post-baseline observation (week 6 or early termination) - the Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) ratings for ES, at the last post-baseline observation (week 6 or early termination).
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether treatment with Armodafinil (CEP-10953) is more effective than placebo treatment for patients with excessive sleepiness associated with narcolepsy by measuring mean sleep latency from the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) (20-minute version)(average of 4 naps at 0900, 1100, 1300, and 1500) and by the Clinical Global Impressions of Change (CGI-C) ratings (as related to general condition) at week 12 (or last postbaseline observation)
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Armodafinil (CEP-10953) administered on a flexible-dosage regimen of 100 to 250 mg/day for up to 12 months to patients with excessive sleepiness associated with a current diagnosis of narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS)(regular users of nasal continuous positive airway pressure [nCPAP] therapy), or chronic shift work sleep disorder (SWSD).
This study will be conducted as a randomized, double blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial in patients diagnosed with narcolepsy. Volunteers for this trial will be required to make 5 visits over up to 14 weeks to a participating expert physician practitioner for various sleep and narcolepsy evaluations and diaries will also be collected. Participants will take assigned medications during the course of the trial. Subjects will have a 25% probability of receiving placebo for both drugs (modafinil and Xyrem). All subject volunteers must meet criteria for narcolepsy and have evidence of daytime sleepiness. Patients will not incur any personal medical expenses due to participation in this trial. The sponsor is covering all visit costs not covered by insurance and there are some funds for patient expenses such as travel.
