Background: While scores ≤10 on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) are within the normal range, the reduction in elevated ESS score that is clinically meaningful in patients with narcolepsy has not been established.
Methods: This post hoc analysis of a clinical trial of patients with narcolepsy evaluated correlations between Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) and ESS. Data of adult patients with narcolepsy from a double-blind, 12-week placebo-controlled study of JZP-110, a wake-promoting agent, were used in this analysis.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of JZP-110 on the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) with data censored to include only the first 20 min of a 40-min MWT.
Methods: In a 4-week, placebo-controlled crossover design (Study 201; N = 33) and a 12-week parallel-group design (Study 202; N = 93), JZP-110 was evaluated in narcolepsy patients using changes from baseline in the 40-min MWT as the primary endpoint. Effect sizes based on the change from baseline in mean MWT sleep latency were calculated using 20-min censored MWT data and compared to 40-min MWT data.
Study Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral JZP-110, a second-generation wake-promoting agent with dopaminergic and noradrenergic activity, for treatment of impaired wakefulness and excessive sleepiness in adults with narcolepsy.
Methods: This was a phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial conducted at 28 centers in the United States. Patients were adults with narcolepsy who had baseline scores ≥ 10 on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and baseline sleep latency ≤ 10 min on the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT).
Background: JZP-110 is a wake-promoting agent with dopaminergic and noradrenergic activity.
Methods: This double-blind, crossover study, randomized adults with narcolepsy with or without cataplexy (N = 33) to placebo or JZP-110 at 150 mg/day (weeks 1 and 3) increased to 300 mg/day (weeks 2 and 4). Patients had to have baseline Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores ≥10 and mean sleep latencies ≤10 min on the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT).
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of clonidine hydrochloride extended-release tablets (CLON-XR) combined with stimulants (ie, methylphenidate or amphetamine) for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Patients And Methods: In this phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, children and adolescents with hyperactive- or combined-subtype ADHD who had an inadequate response to their stable stimulant regimen were randomized to receive CLON-XR or placebo in combination with their baseline stimulant medication. Predefined efficacy measures evaluated change from baseline to week 5.
