Active clinical trials for "Narcolepsy"

The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of escalating doses of BF2.649 and BF2.649 add on Modafinil on cataplexy in patients with narcolepsy

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 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.

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial of NLS-2 in adult patients with narcolepsy. The study will enroll approximately 60 patients and eligible patients will be treated to receive either NLS-2 or placebo for 4-weeks.

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.

The initial portion of the protocol involves discontinuing any medications for cataplexy that the patient may be taking. Subsequently, the patient is prescribed a dose of oral solution of study drug or placebo over a 10-11 week period. During the trial, narcolepsy symptoms will be evaluated. Participants are allowed to continue using stimulant medications at constant doses during the study. A total of 1 to 3 daytime visits in addition to 4 overnight visits to the sleep center will be required to complete the study.

The rationale for the interventional, open-label, single-arm design of JZP258-401 is to evaluate the clinical experience in participants with narcolepsy transitioning treatment from Xyrem to XYWAV.

The study is the first attempt in post-Soviet Russian history to collect and analyze the existing available data of narcolepsy cohort in order to get prove characteristics of narcolepsy in Russia according to known data. Investigators created the system of national narcolepsy centers in Russia - Russian narcolepsy network, with a purpose of collecting clinical and neurophysiological data with subsequent analyze and formation of Russian narcolepsy profile.

Histaminergic agents are known to be involved with the sleep/wake cycle. This compound is a histaminergic agent which therefore may improve alertness and awakeness in patients with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) associated with narcolepsy. Significant improvement in EDS when treated with this compound compared to placebo in patients with narcolepsy is hypothesized.

This Phase 2 study is a 8-site, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, 3-way cross-over trial, involving 3 treatments with Modafinil 300 mg or the combination drug THN102 (Modafinil/Flecainide 300 /3 mg, Modafinil/Flecainide 300 /27 mg).
