Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of Armodafinil for Adults With Excessive Sleepiness Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea and Depression (NCT NCT00518986)

NCT ID: NCT00518986

Last Updated: 2013-07-19

Results Overview

MWT measures ability of subject to remain awake. Subjects instructed to try and remain awake during series of 4 30-minute periods (0900, 1100, 1300, and 1500) reclining in dark room. Each period was terminated immediately after sleep onset or at end of 30 minutes if no sleep occurred. If subject fell asleep, they were awakened and not allowed to sleep for remainder of that 30 minute period. Change from Baseline to Endpoint (12 weeks or last observation after baseline) in mean sleep latency averaged from the 4 intervals was measured. Poorest outcome was 0 minutes the best was 30 minutes.

Measure
Armodafinil 200 mg/Day
Armodafinil (or placebo) was titrated to a target dosage of 200 mg/day (4 tablets) for each patient. Dosing began at 50 mg (1 tablet)/day each morning on Day 1, and then increased by 50 mg (1 tablet) on days 2, 5, and 8 to target dose of 200 mg/day (4 tablets). If deemed appropriate by investigator, dose could be further titrated to 250 mg/day (5 tablets). If tolerability issues arose, dose could be decreased in 50 mg increments anytime after 200 mg/day dose was achieved.
Placebo
Placebo tablets matching the 50 mg armodafinil tablet were used in a manner identical to that of the armodafinil tablets for both the placebo run in period and the double blind treatment period. Study drug was titrated to a target dosage of 4 tablets/day for each patient. Dosing began at 1 tablet/day in the morning on Day 1, and then increased by 1 tablet on days 2, 5, and 8 to target dose of 4 tablets. If deemed appropriate by investigator, dose could be further titrated to 5 tablets. If tolerability issues arose, dose could be decreased in 1 tablet increments anytime after 4 tablets/day dose was achieved.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks (or last observation after baseline)

Population: Full analysis set which includes subjects who had at least 1 measurement of MWT or CGI-C after baseline.

The CGI-C is a clinician's rating of disease severity compared with baseline as assessed by Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S). CGI-C rates improvement by 7 categories: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, no change, minimally worse, much worse, very much worse. CGI-S measured 7 categories of illness as well: normal, borderline ill, mildly ill, moderately ill, markedly ill, severely ill, among most extremely ill. Proportion of responders who had at least "minimally improved" in CGI-C ratings (as related to sleepiness) were assessed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 weeks (or last observation after baseline)

Population: Full analysis set defined as subjects who had at least one assessment of ESS after baseline

For this key secondary outcome the ESS score is based on responses to questions (self administered) that assessed the propensity of the subject to fall asleep in 8 everyday situations (sitting and reading, talking to someone, being stopped in traffic, etc.) Scores for the ESS range from 0 to 24, with a higher score indicating greater daytime sleepiness. The change in ESS total score from baseline to Endpoint (12 weeks or last observation after baseline) are summarized.

CGI-C rates 7 responses: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, no change, minimally worse, much worse, very much worse. CGI-S measured 7 categories as well: normal, borderline ill, mildly ill, moderately ill, markedly ill, severely ill, among most extremely ill. The results for the number of participants who responded to each item on the full scale at 8 weeks are presented.

Population: Full analysis set defined as subjects with at least one BFI assessment after baseline

The Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) is a subjective-completed tool for the assessment of the impact of fatigue on daily functioning. Simple numeric rating scales from 0 to 10 are used. The higher scores are associated with more severe fatigue, with any score \>= 7 considered to be indicative of severe fatigue. The total score is calculated by taking the sum of all 9 rating scales for a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 90. This assessment examines the difference in total BFI score from Baseline to 12 weeks or last observation after baseline.

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 weeks after start of study drug administration

The Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) is a subjective-completed tool for the assessment of the impact of fatigue on daily functioning. Simple numeric rating scales from 0 to 10 are used. The higher scores are associated with more severe fatigue, with any score \>= 7 considered to be indicative of severe fatigue. The total score is calculated by taking the sum of all 9 rating scales for a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 90. This assessment examines the difference in total BFI score from Baseline to 12 weeks.

Armodafinil (or placebo) was titrated to a target dosage of 200 mg/day (4 tablets) for each patient. Dosing began at 50 mg (1 tablet)/day each morning on Day 1, and then increased by 50 mg (1 tablet) on days 2, 5, and 8 to target dose of 200 mg/day (4 tablets). If deemed appropriate by investigator, dose could be further titrated to 250 mg/day (5 tablets). If tolerability issues arose, dose could be decreased in 50 mg increments anytime after 200 mg/day dose was achieved.
Placebo
n=94 Participants
Placebo tablets matching the 50 mg armodafinil tablet were used in a manner identical to that of the armodafinil tablets for both the placebo run in period and the double blind treatment period. Study drug was titrated to a target dosage of 4 tablets/day for each patient. Dosing began at 1 tablet/day in the morning on Day 1, and then increased by 1 tablet on days 2, 5, and 8 to target dose of 4 tablets. If deemed appropriate by investigator, dose could be further titrated to 5 tablets.

The Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) assesses the impact of fatigue on daily functioning. Simple numeric rating scales from 0 to 10 are used. The higher scores are associated with more severe fatigue, with any score \>= 7 considered to be indicative of severe fatigue. The Interference Score consists of 6 questions that ask subjects to rate on a 0 to 10 scale how during the past 24 hours fatigue has interfered with their general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, and enjoyment of life. The scores are averaged (0-10) for the Interference Score.

Population: Full analysis set defined as subjects who completed the MOS-CF6 at baseline and at 4 weeks

The MOS-CF6 assesses self-reported cognitive function. Items were selected to cover 6 relevant aspects of cognitive functioning as follows: confusion, concentration/thinking, attention, memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and processing speed. The MOS-CF6 responses includes 6 choices, ranging from "none of the time" to "all of the time". The MOS-CF6 is scored by summing responses across the 6 items and converting the total to a 0 - 100 point scale, with the higher score indicating better cognitive functioning. Data is presented showing the change in score from baseline to 4 weeks.

Armodafinil 200 mg/Day
n=109 Participants
Armodafinil (or placebo) was titrated to a target dosage of 200 mg/day (4 tablets) for each patient. Dosing began at 50 mg (1 tablet)/day each morning on Day 1, and then increased by 50 mg (1 tablet) on days 2, 5, and 8 to target dose of 200 mg/day (4 tablets). If deemed appropriate by investigator, dose could be further titrated to 250 mg/day (5 tablets). If tolerability issues arose, dose could be decreased in 50 mg increments anytime after 200 mg/day dose was achieved.
Placebo
n=106 Participants
Placebo tablets matching the 50 mg armodafinil tablet were used in a manner identical to that of the armodafinil tablets for both the placebo run in period and the double blind treatment period. Study drug was titrated to a target dosage of 4 tablets/day for each patient. Dosing began at 1 tablet/day in the morning on Day 1, and then increased by 1 tablet on days 2, 5, and 8 to target dose of 4 tablets. If deemed appropriate by investigator, dose could be further titrated to 5 tablets. If tolerability issues arose, dose could be decreased in 1 tablet increments anytime after 4 tablets/day dose was achieved.

The Excessive Sleepiness Symptom Rating Form was used to assess symptoms of excessive sleepiness. Patients rate 7 symptoms(tiredness, fatigue, sleepiness, lack of energy, trouble paying attention, forgetfulness, trouble staying organized) on an 11-point Likert scale (0 = no problem at all to 10 = as bad as you can imagine). ES Symptom Rating Form was designed to follow the response to treatment measuring severity of each of these 7 symptoms using the same 11-point scale. Change from Baseline to Endpoint (12 weeks or last baseline observation) is presented only for the symptom of "Sleepiness".
