Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pharmacodynamic Profile of SPD489 in Healthy Adult Males Undergoing a Nocturnal Period of Acute Sleep Loss (NCT NCT01096680)

NCT ID: NCT01096680

Last Updated: 2021-06-14

Results Overview

The MWT was conducted to determine the subjects' ability to stay awake. Subjects sat in a darkened room and were told to "stay awake as long as possible" during the 30 minute session. This is an indicator of how well you are able to function and remain alert in quiet times of inactivity. Higher times are better.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Over a period of 8 hours

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) is defined as all randomized subjects with any primary efficacy assessment.

The MWT was conducted to determine the subjects' ability to stay awake. Subjects sat in a darkened room and were told to "stay awake as long as possible" during the 30 minute session. This is an indicator of how well you are able to function and remain alert in quiet times of inactivity. Higher times are better.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Over a period of 12 hours

Population: FAS

PVT assesses behavioral alertness. Subjects were required to respond to a visual stimulus by pressing a button on a mechanical device and the reaction time was measured. Higher scores indicate attention lapses.
