Trial Outcomes & Findings for Extension Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Armodafinil in the Treatment of Patients With Excessive Sleepiness (NCT NCT00228553)

NCT ID: NCT00228553

Last Updated: 2013-07-19

Results Overview

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study. Serious and Non-serious Adverse Events (SAEs). Serious adverse event is any adverse event occurring at any dose that results in any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening, inpatient hospitalization, persistent or significant disability, congenital anomaly, or an important medical event. An adverse event that does not meet any of the criteria for seriousness listed previously will be regarded as a nonserious adverse event.
