- Registration Number
- NCT02757079
- Lead Sponsor
- Nobelpharma
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy on sleep latency with electronic sleep diaries and the safety of NPC-15.
- Detailed Description
This study will be a multicenter and open label trial. The trial has three phases; the screening phase, treatment phase and post-treatment phase. The screening phase comprises a screening visit where subject's initial eligibility will be evaluated.
