Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Evaluate Armodafinil Treatment in Improving Prefrontal Cortical Activation and Working Memory Performance (NCT NCT00711516)
NCT ID: NCT00711516
Last Updated: 2013-07-19
Results Overview
The primary outcome was the change from baseline in number of contiguous activated voxels in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at Week 2(or last observation after baseline). Each voxel is compared to the reference wave form. If it differs from that value p\<0.05, the voxel is considered active. fMRI is a brain imaging technique that identifies neuronal activation related to specific tasks or sensory stimulation. Increased neuronal activity increases blood flow and oxygen content to the activated part of the brain, altering fMRI signal.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline and Endpoint (Week 2 or last observation after baseline)Population: Efficacy analyses were performed on the full analysis dataset which includes those patients in the safety analysis set who had at least 1 post baseline primary efficacy assessment.
The primary outcome was the change from baseline in number of contiguous activated voxels in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at Week 2(or last observation after baseline). Each voxel is compared to the reference wave form. If it differs from that value p\<0.05, the voxel is considered active. fMRI is a brain imaging technique that identifies neuronal activation related to specific tasks or sensory stimulation. Increased neuronal activity increases blood flow and oxygen content to the activated part of the brain, altering fMRI signal.

The 2-Back is a verbal working memory test in which random letters are presented visually every 4 sec, with each stimulus lasting 500 msec. Subjects are asked to make a yes/no response following each letter indicating whether it was the same or different from the letter presented two earlier. The load on working memory was the ordering, retention, updating, and manipulation of 2 letters and consideration of the relationship to a 3rd newly presented letter, which could have been a target or a nontarget. The change from baseline in response latency at endpoint is presented here.

The PRM test from the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) assesses episodic memory by a patient's ability to encode and recognize visual information. Patterns appear sequentially on the screen, and patients are instructed to remember them. Immediately afterwards a recognition test is performed, in which each pattern shown earlier is presented with another pattern of similar form and color. Patient has to touch the pattern seen earlier. Change from baseline to endpoint in % correct responses with immediate recall is presented. Subjects complete 24 trials per assessment.

The patient's evaluation of excessive daytime sleepiness was measured by the patient reported measure, ESS (Johns1991). The ESS score was based on responses to questions referring to 8 everyday situations (eg, sitting and reading, talking to someone, being stopped in traffic) and reflected a patient's propensity to fall asleep in those situations. The ESS score was derived from the sum of the values from questions corresponding to the 8 situations. Scores for the ESS ranged from 0 to 24, with a higher score indicating a greater daytime sleepiness. Change from baseline to endpoint is presented.

Severity of sleepiness, was assessed by the Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) at Baseline. The clinician assessed the change from baseline in the patient's condition, as related to excessive sleepiness, in response to treatment using the CGI-C, which consisted of the following 7 categories and scoring assignments: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, no change, minimally worse, much worse, and very much worse. Responders had to be at least minimally improved from Baseline to qualify as a responder at Endpoint.

The MOS-CF6 is an instrument to assess patient 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 CF 6 item responses include 6 choices, ranging from "none of the time" to "all of the time." The CF-6 was scored by summing responses across the 6 items and converting the total to a 0 to 100 point scale, with higher scores indicating better cognitive functioning. Change in MOS-CF6 from baseline to endpoint is reported.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a brain imaging technique that identifies neuronal activation in regions related to specific tasks or sensory stimulation such as language, vision, hearing, and short-term memory. When neuronal activity increases, blood flow increases to that part of the brain with an increase in the oxygen content of the blood. Increase in oxygen content causes the fMRI signal in that part of the brain to change, and is the basis of the BOLD effect. The percent change in BOLD signal from Baseline to 2 weeks or last observation after baseline is presented here.

During anatomic scanning (and prior to functional runs when anatomic scanning was not performed), a modified continuous 10 minute attention task ("Psychomotor Vigilance Test \[PVT\]-like task," nearly identical to the PVT but for absence of performance feedback) was run to obtain a measure of vigilance in the scanner-in this instance, the "+" symbol appeared at random (mean inter trial interval of 5 seconds, range 2 - 10 seconds) but disappeared when subject pressed a button. Subject performance speed was measured. Change in subject performance speed from Baseline to Endpoint is presented.
