A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Pitolisant in the Treatment of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Abstract
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of pitolisant versus placebo during 12 weeks of the Double Blind period, to treat the Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) not tolerating or refusing the nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (nCPAP) therapy or treated by nCPAP but still complaining of EDS.
Conditions: Excessive Daytime Sleepiness.
Primary outcome: Change from baseline of ESS.
Enrollment: 240 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 240 participants or records.
