Somnolence Disorder, Excessive clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Constitution of a Clinical, Neurophysiological and Biological Cohort for Chronic Sleep Disorders Responsible of Hypersomnolence

Somnobank

Start date: June 16, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Chronic sleep disorders result from multiple pathophysiological mechanisms and are often associated with severe hypersomnolence, responsible for major disability. Hypersomnolence may be secondary to sleep disturbances at night by sleep fragmentation, both overall in restless leg syndrome (RLS) or specific to slow or paradoxical sleep in parasomnias (sleepwalking, sleep behavior disorder). paradoxical). Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is another cause of secondary hypersomnolence, unsolved pathophysiology, leading to a major disturbance of alertness. More rarely, hypersomnolence may be primary (central hypersomnia), representing then the most severe form existing in humans. The best-known central hypersomnia is narcolepsy type 1 (NT1), affecting 0.02% of the population. It is thanks to the existence of well-characterized clinical, biological and neuropathological patients that its pathophysiology is better understood. It is due to a selective loss of hypothalamic neurons secreting orexin / hypocretin, in connection with a probable autoimmune process, in genetically predisposed subjects. Narcolepsy type 2 (NT2), idiopathic hypersomnia (HI) and Kleine-Levin syndrome (SKL), are rarer forms of central hypersomnia, the pathophysiology of which is still unknown, due to the small number of patients studied.
