Phase IIa, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, 3-period Crossover, Adaptive Dose Design, Clinical Trial to Evaluate Safety & Efficacy of MK0249 in Treating Refractory Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome Appropriately Using nCPAP Therapy
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of MK0249 in treating refractory excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome (OSA/HS) using nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) therapy.
Conditions: Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, Hypopnea Syndrome, Excessive Daytime Sleepiness.
Primary outcome: Mean of Average Maintenance of Wakefulness Test Early for The Mode Dose of MK0249 Versus Placebo.
Enrollment: 125 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: 125 participants or records.
