Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Assess Patient Reported Outcomes With Armodafinil Treatment for Excessive Sleepiness in Adults With Narcolepsy or Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome (NCT NCT00228566)

NCT ID: NCT00228566

Last Updated: 2013-07-19

Results Overview

A subjective measure (PGI-C rating) of the patient's global health, ie, a patient's rating of disease severity, as compared with a pretreatment (baseline) evaluation assessment by the patient using the Patient Global Impression of Severity of illness (PGI-S). Responders at each visit were defined as having at least minimal improvement in the severity of excessive sleepiness as compared with a pretreatment evaluation made using the PGI-S.

Recruitment status

Participant Flow

40 centers in the US. First participant enrolled: 5 October 2005. Last participant last visit: 27 July 2006

1 female participant withdrew for noncompliance after randomization but prior to receiving study drug. The number of participants then analyzed (241) by a PGI-C rating was defined to be those participants who took at least 1 dose of study drug and had at least 1 postbaseline efficacy assessment (5 patients did not meet this requirement).
