简要总结
The aim of this project is to learn about how a change in diet will affect sleepiness, quality of life and metabolic health in people living with narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia. The dietary changes we will be testing are well researched and safe in a wide range of patient groups (such as in obesity, type one and two diabetes, cancer and dysfunction related to the nervous system) but has not been researched in conditions of hypersomnolence such as narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia. It is important to test adjunct therapies and lifestyle changes such as dietary interventions to ensure that people living with hypersomnolence have a range of options in addition to medications, to improve their health.
If effective, this project will be tested in more people and may become a part of routine patient care. These dietary approaches have been shown to improve health and quality of life in people living with chronic pain, neurological conditions such as epilepsy and have been shown to be safe in these populations as well as people living with type one diabetes. This is a new area of research for people living with hypersomnolence.
详细描述
The primary objectives of COMPANION are:
• To determine the feasibility and tolerability of a 12-week whole-food ketogenic diet (WFKD) compared to an isocaloric standard whole-food diet (WFD) in participants with hypersomnolence (HS) as defined by the RE-AIM Framework.
The secondary objectives are:
- To determine whether a WFKD achieves greater improvements in disease relevant sleep outcomes including excessive daytime sleepiness, reduced duration of sleep onset latency and psychomotor vigilance compared to an isocaloric WFD in participants with HS.
- To determine whether a WFKD achieves greater improvements in objective metabolic health outcomes and subjective quality of life outcomes compared to an isocaloric WFD in participants with HS.
- To determine whether patients prefer a combination of dietary intervention and medication or unique dietary intervention compared to traditional medication only treatments in their lived experience.
- To better understand the context for implementation of both dietary interventions, determining the barriers and facilitators to widespread implementation of the dietary intervention.
A prospective, mixed methods, randomised, single-centre, controlled trial (Hybrid Type 1) with two parallel groups comparing the feasibility of a WFKD to a WFD stratified by patient diagnosis of NT1, NT2 or IH. This project will determine whether patients with persistent HS can feasibly sustain dietary changes in addition to usual care, and if so, whether improvements in symptoms of daytime sleepiness, metabolic health and quality of life outcomes can be enhanced with a WFKD. At the core of this project is the delivery of a 12-week dietary intervention, in which all patients will be initially allocated to a WFD for three weeks. At the commencement of week four, participants will be randomised to either maintain consumption of this WFD or combine with carbohydrate restriction to form a WFKD for the remaining nine weeks.

研究组 & 干预措施
Whole Food Ketogenic Diet (WFKD)
Following a 3 week whole food diet run-in, participants will reduce their carbohydrate intake to 30-50g per day to achieve nutritional ketosis.
干预措施: Whole Food Ketogenic Diet (Behavioral)
Whole Food Diet (WFD)
Participants will consume a whole-food diet focused on improving diet quality based on the NOVA classifications of unprocessed or minimally processed foods/ingredients (removal of NOVA category 4 foods from diet). This diet is high carbohydrate (45-65% of total energy coming from carbohydrate).
干预措施: Whole Food Diet (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Feasibility - using quantitative measures of feasibility
时间窗: From enrolment to the completion of the last study visit at the end of 12 weeks for the last enrolled participant.
A suite of quantitative measures of feasibility (i.e. recruitment rate related to the number of patients considered for eligibility, screened, enrolled and the time frames associated with reaching the target sample size) will be measured during the 3-month dietary intervention. The primary outcomes will be triangulated with qualitative interviews to provide an overall assessment of trial feasibility. Results at 12 weeks and baseline will be compared.
Feasibility - using quantitative measures of tolerability
时间窗: From enrolment to the completion of the last study visit at the end of 12 weeks for the last enrolled participant.
A suite of quantitative measures of tolerability (measured by dietary protocol adherence, rate of attrition during both the run in and intervention phase and quantity and nature of adverse events) will be measured during the 3-month dietary intervention. The primary outcomes will be triangulated with qualitative interviews to provide an overall assessment of trial feasibility. Results at 12 weeks and baseline will be compared.
Feasibility - using quantitative measures of compliance
时间窗: From enrolment to the completion of the last study visit at the end of 12 weeks for the last enrolled participant.
A suite of quantitative measures of compliance (measured by capillary and urinary ketones and food diaries) will be measured during the 3-month dietary intervention. The primary outcomes will be triangulated with qualitative interviews to provide an overall assessment of trial feasibility. Results at 12 weeks and baseline will be compared.
