Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study Evaluating Nelotanserin for Treatment of REM Sleep Behavior Disorder in Subjects With Dementia (DLB or PDD) (NCT NCT02708186)

NCT ID: NCT02708186

Last Updated: 2020-05-20

Results Overview

The number of RBD (sum of simple/major and complex RBD events) per 10 minutes, based on video/audio assessment conducted at a sleep laboratory. Simple/major behaviors are jerks with higher movement amplitude, or intensity (e.g., whole body jerks, single limb jerk); Complex behaviors are Movements showing complexity of action and involving more muscle groups simultaneously or violent movements, and can be seen as the enactment of dream contents.
