Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Swiss Primary Hypersomnolence and Narcolepsy Cohort Study (SPHYNCS) is a cohort study on disease presentation and long-term course with an exploratory approach to detect biomarkers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

An exploratory prospective, national, multi-center cohort study on clinical, electrophysiological and biological biomarkers of disease presentation and course.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hypersomnolence group

All patients referred to the outpatient clinic/sleep center for investigation due to complaints for excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and/or Hypersomnia (H) and/or suspected central disorder of hypersomnolence (CDH)

No interventions assigned to this group

Healthy controls

Healthy control subjects without complaints of EDS and /or H.

No interventions assigned to this group

SDB controls

Patients with EDS and diagnosis of severe sleep related breathing disorder (SBD) significantly improving with therapy.

No interventions assigned to this group

Pediatric Hypersomnolence group

Pediatric group aged 10-18. Same criteria for inclusion and exclusion apply as for the adult group.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Study participants:

* Subjective complaints of Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and/or Hypersomnia (H) as defined above
* EDS and/or H present daily or almost daily for at least 1 month prior to the consultation
* Ability and consent to undergo electrophysiological routine assessment
* Ability to give informed consent

Healthy controls:

* Age and gender matched healthy subjects
* Including blood related relatives of study participants
* Ability and consent to undergo electrophysiological routine assessment
* Ability to give informed consent

Controls with Sleep disordered breathing (SDB):

* Subjective complaints of EDS with Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) \> 10 (adults) and/or H due to SDB: Presence of clinically significant and untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as determined by the investigator with an apnea-hypopnea-index \>30/h
* Multiple sleep-latency test (MSLT) mean sleep latency ≤ 8min
* Subjective and objective improvement of EDS and/or H within 3 months after treatment with
* Positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy with documented

* Reduction of apnea-hypopnea index below \<10/h
* Reduction of ESS by ≥ 25%
* MSLT mean Sleep Latency \> 12min
* Ability and consent to undergo electrophysiological routine assessment
* Ability to give informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

Study participants and controls:

* SDB for study participants and healthy controls: Presence of clinically significant and untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or central sleep apnea (CSA) as determined by the investigator or documented previously; or documentation of one of the following:

* Apnea index (AI) \> 10 if on OSA treatment or untreated; or
* Clinically significant hypoventilation; or
* Noncompliance with primary OSA therapy
* except if NT1 has been diagnosed including decreased or missing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hypocretin
* SDB for control population with SDB:

* Central Sleep Apnea (CSA)
* Noncompliance with primary OSA therapy and/or
* No reported improvement of EDS and/or H within 3 months of positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment
* The following disorders/conditions that on clinical grounds are considered to be the cause of EDS / H

* Other sleep disorders (e.g. Restless legs syndrome (RLS) with periodic leg movement syndrome (PLMS), sleepwalking, clear-cut circadian disorder)
* Other neurological disorders (e.g. stroke, multiple sclerosis, parkinsonism, severe traumatic brain injury)
* (Auto-)immune and systemic disorders (such as Hashimoto Thyroiditis, Chron's Disease, ulcerous colitis, Diabetes mellitus type I, Systemic lupus erythematosus)
* Malignancy (except: Status in Remission for at least \> 10 years)
* Instable psychiatric disorder (e.g. acute psychotic, acute suicidal, episode of major depression requiring in-hospital treatment, active substance abuse)
* Active infectious disease at screening
* Permanent medications / drugs
* Chronic infectious diseases (such as Hepatitis B/C, HIV)
* Chronic use of antibiotics
* Recent use (\< 8 weeks) of immune-modulating drugs

Healthy controls additional:

* Subjective complaints of EDS and / or H
* ESS \> 10
* Polysomnography (PSG) with AI \> 10/h and / or PLMS Index \> 30/h
* MSLT mean Sleep Latency \< 12 min
