Name Time Method Sleep latency (in minutes), as measured by the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT), at the end of the DBP Day 42 Sleep latency was measured at the end of DBP (Day 42) by an extended version of the MWT which was used to measure the ability of a participant to remain awake. The MWT consisted of four 40-minutes trails performed at two hour intervals and the main MWT score was mean sleep latency (arithmetic mean of the four 40-minutes trials). Trials were ended after 40 minutes if no sleep occurred, or after unequivocal sleep, defined as three consecutive epochs of stage 1 sleep, or one epoch of any other stage of sleep. Least square mean was used to present the value for adjusted mean.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from Baseline in severity of Cataplexy Attacks during the OLP Baseline (Day -1) up to Day 28 Narcolepsy was classically described as excessive daytime sleepiness in association with emotionally triggered episodes of muscle weakness, known as cataplexy. Forms of narcolepsy exist without cataplexy which varies in severity from barely perceptible loss of tone of the facial muscles to total collapse. The overall severity of the attacks was rated at the end of each day using a visual analogue scale (VAS) with the following the anchor points: When considering the narcolepsy symptoms for today, overall how severe were the cataplexy Attacks- Not troublesome, e.g. infrequent and/ or had minimal effect on mobility or Very severe, e.g. of high frequency and /or severely debilitating in mobility. Baseline was defined at Visit 1 (Day -1). Change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the value on Day -1 minus the value on Day 1-6, 7-13, 14-20, 21-29.
Change from Baseline in Severity of Nocturnal Symptoms during the OLP Baseline (Day -1) up to Day 28 Participants kept a daily diary card to record the severity of nocturnal narcolepsy symptoms. The overall severity of the nocturnal symptoms was rated at the end of each day using a VAS. In the morning, upon waking and at the time they took their morning dose participants were asked to record the severity of any night time disease symptoms such as hypnagogic hallucinations / sleep paralysis or night terrors using the following question: When considering the sleep you had last night, how troublesome were any dreams, hallucinations or other narcolepsy symptoms such as sleep paralysis- Not troublesome, e.g. hard to remember / not vivid or Very unpleasant, e.g. very vivid and/or of a frightening or disturbing nature. Baseline was defined at Visit 1 (Day -1). Change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the value on Day -1 minus the value on Day 1-6, 7-13, 14-20, 21-29.
Change from Baseline in Frequency of Cataplexy Attacks during the OLP Baseline (Day -1) up to Day 28 Narcolepsy was classically described as excessive daytime sleepiness in association with emotionally triggered episodes of muscle weakness, known as cataplexy. Forms of narcolepsy exist without cataplexy which varies in severity from barely perceptible loss of tone of the facial muscles to total collapse. The number of daily cataplexy attacks (frequency) was estimated and recorded in the diary card. Baseline was defined at Visit 1 (Day -1). Change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the value on Day -1 minus the value on Day 1-6, 7-13, 14-20, 21-29.
Change from End of OLP (Day 28) in severity of Cataplexy Attacks during the DBP Day 28 up to Day 42 Narcolepsy was classically described as excessive daytime sleepiness in association with emotionally triggered episodes of muscle weakness, known as cataplexy. Forms of narcolepsy exist without cataplexy which varies in severity from barely perceptible loss of tone of the facial muscles to total collapse . The number of daily cataplexy attacks was estimated and recorded in the diary card. Last assessed value of OLP (Day 28) value was used as baseline value for DBP. Change from end of OLP was calculated by subtracting the value on Day 28 minus the value on Day 30-35 and Day 36-42. Least square mean was used to present the value for adjusted mean.
Change from Baseline in duration of Daytime Naps (Based on Actigraphy) during the OLP Baseline up to Day 28 The duration of daytime naps was calculated based on Actigraphy. Actigraphy data was collected using the Actiwatch activity monitoring system. Participants were asked to continuously wear a small actigraphy monitor on the wrist of their non-dominant arm during the study in order to objectively monitor sleep quality and daytime napping. The Actiwatch was a wrist-worn device that produced a signal as the wearer made physical movement which was used as a surrogate marker of sleep. Participants marked time in bed manually with the watch, which improved assessment of sleep efficiency. Baseline was defined at Visit 1 (Day -7). Change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the value on Day -7 minus the value on Day 1-6,7-13,14-20,21-29.
Change from End of OLP (Day 28) in Frequency of Daytime Naps (Based on Actigraphy) during the DBP Day 28 up to Day 42 The number of daytime naps was calculated based on Actigraphy. Actigraphy data was collected using the Actiwatch activity monitoring system. Participants were asked to continuously wear a small actigraphy monitor on the wrist of their non-dominant arm during the study in order to objectively monitor sleep quality and daytime napping. The Actiwatch was a wrist-worn device that produced a signal as the wearer made physical movement which was used as a surrogate marker of sleep. Participants marked time in bed manually with the watch, which improved assessment of sleep efficiency. Last assessed value of OLP (Day 28) value was used as baseline value for DBP. Change from end of OLP was calculated by subtracting the value on Day 28 minus the value on Day 30-35 and Day 36-42. Least square mean was used to present the value for adjusted mean.
Change from baseline in Sleep latency (minutes), as measured by the MWT for the OLP Baseline (Day -1) and Day 28 Sleep latency was measured for OLP (Day 28) by an extended version of the MWT which was used to measure the ability of a participant to remain awake. The MWT consisted of four 40-minutes trails performed at two hour intervals and the main MWT score was mean sleep latency (arithmetic mean of the four 40-minutes trials). Trials were ended after 40 minutes if no sleep occurred, or after unequivocal sleep, defined as three consecutive epochs of stage 1 sleep, or one epoch of any other stage of sleep. Baseline was defined at Visit 1 (Day -1). Change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the value on Day -1 minus the value on Day 28.
Number of participants with abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) findings at any time during OLP Up to Day 28 All ECGs were recorded after at least 3 minutes rest in a semi-supine position. During this resting period, participants were supervised to ensure they did not fall asleep. Where possible, hot or cold drinks and food was avoided 30 minutes before an ECG measurement. All ECGs were recorded after at least 3 minutes rest in a semi-supine position. Data for any OLP post baseline was reported for abnormal-not clinically significant (NCS) values.
Number of participants with abnormal ECG findings during DBP Day 42 All ECGs were recorded after at least 3 minutes rest in a semi-supine position. During this resting period, participants were supervised to ensure they did not fall asleep. Where possible, hot or cold drinks and food was avoided 30 minutes before an ECG measurement. All ECGs were recorded after at least 3 minutes rest in a semi-supine position. Data for Day 42 prior to sleep test 1, 2, 3 and 4 was reported for abnormal- NCS.
Change from Baseline in Nocturnal PSG for the DBP- Frequency of awakening Baseline (Day -1) and Day 42 PSG was used to assess sleep architecture. Nocturnal PSG was recorded as a safety measure at Baseline (Day -1) and Day 42. Variables that describe sleep architecture include total sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep latency, latencies to each sleep stage, time spent in each sleep stage, etc. The PSG parameter summarized for this outcome measure was frequency of awakening (count). Baseline was defined at Visit 1 (Day -1). Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the value on Day -1 minus the value on Day 42.
Number of participants with shift from baseline in Haematology parameters of PCI for DBP Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 42 Blood samples were taken for analysis of WBC (NR: 3.8-10.8 GI/L), RBC (NR: 4.4-5.8 TI/L), Hb (NR: 138-172 G/L), HCT (NR: 0.41-0.5 L), MCV (NR: 80-100 FL), MCH (NR: 27-33 PG), MCHC (NR: 320-360 G/L), platelet count (130-400 GI/L), SN (NR: 1.8-8 GI/L), lymphocyte count (NR: 0.85-4.1 GI/L), monocyte count (NR: 0.2-1.1 GI/L), eosinophil count (NR: 0.05-0.55 GI/L) and basophil count (NR: 0-0.2 GI/L). Data for participants with a shift in values from Baseline (PCI high, WR and PCI low) to Day 42 was reported. Baseline (defined at Day 1 pre-dose) was the mean of the 3 pre-dose assessments taken on Day 1.
Number of participants with AEs and SAEs in the DBP Up to Day 42 AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant , temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death, was life threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect or was considered as medically significant. No SAEs were reported in this study.
Change from End of OLP (Day 28) in Sleep latency (minutes), as measured by the MWT to the end of the DBP (Day 42) Day 28 and Day 42 Sleep latency was measured by an extended version of the MWT which was used to measure the ability of a participant to remain awake. The MWT consisted of four 40-minutes trails performed at two hour intervals and the main MWT score was mean sleep latency (arithmetic mean of the four 40-minutes trials). Trials were ended after 40 minutes if no sleep occurred, or after unequivocal sleep, defined as three consecutive epochs of stage 1 sleep, or one epoch of any other stage of sleep. Last assessed value of OLP (Day 28) value was used as baseline value for DBP. Change from end of OLP was calculated by subtracting the value on Day 28 minus the value on Day 42. Least square mean was used to present the value for adjusted mean.
Change from End of OLP (Day 28) on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) to the End of DBP (Day 42) Day 28 up to Day 42 Subjective sleepiness was measured using ESS, a patient rated measure of excessive daytime sleepiness. ESS was completed by participants at the end of OLP (Day 28) and at the end of DBP (Day 42). Participants estimated their likelihood of falling asleep during 8 normal daily situations (1.Sitting and reading, 2.Watching television, 3.Sitting inactive in public place, such as theatre or meeting, 4.As a passenger in car for an hour without a break, 5.Lying down to rest in the afternoon, 6.Sitting and talking to someone, 7.Sitting quietly after lunch (without alcohol), 8.In a car, while stopped in traffic) on a 4 point scale that consisted of score from 0-3 where, 0=would never dose, 1=slight chance of dozing, 2=moderate chance of dozing, 3=high chance of dozing). The total ESS score is sum of scores on 8 items. Last assessed value of OLP (Day 28) value was used as baseline value for DBP. Change from end of OLP was calculated by subtracting the value on Day 28 minus the value on Day 42.
Change from End of OLP (Day 28) in duration of Daytime Naps (Based on Actigraphy) during the DBP Day 28 up to Day 42 The duration of daytime naps was calculated based on Actigraphy. Actigraphy data was collected using the Actiwatch activity monitoring system. Participants were asked to continuously wear a small actigraphy monitor on the wrist of their non-dominant arm during the study in order to objectively monitor sleep quality and daytime napping. The Actiwatch was a wrist-worn device that produced a signal as the wearer made physical movement which was used as a surrogate marker of sleep. Participants marked time in bed manually with the watch, which improved assessment of sleep efficiency. Last assessed value of OLP (Day 28) value was used as baseline value for DBP. Change from end of OLP was calculated by subtracting the value on Day 28 minus the value on Day 30-35 and Day 36-42. Least square mean was used to present the value for adjusted mean.
Change from Baseline in Time (min) until Sleep Onset REM (rapid eye moment) (SOREM) during the OLP Baseline (Day -1) up to Day 28 In normal participants, the sleep cycle comprised of 3 to 4 stages of slow-wave or non-REM (NREM) sleep lasting about 90 min. Each NREM sleep period was followed by a period of REM sleep i.e. it was necessary to pass through the non-REM cycle to enter into the REM state. REM sleep was characterized by increased brain activity, dreaming and loss of muscle tone i.e. REM sleep atonia. In narcolepsy, the cycle of NREM alternating with REM was abnormal and entry occured directly into REM sleep with a latency to onset of REM sleep that was abnormally shortened (sleep onset REM). REM sleep was characterised by increased brain activity, dreaming and loss of muscle tone i.e. REM sleep atonia. SOREM was measured on overnight Polysomnography (PSG) used to assess sleep architecture. Baseline was defined at Day -1. Change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the value on Day -1 minus the value on Day 13 and 27.
Change from End of OLP in Time (min) until SOREM to the End of DBP Day 28 and Day 42 In normal participants, sleep cycle comprised of 3 to 4 stages of slow-wave or non-REM (NREM) sleep lasting about 90 min. Each NREM sleep period was followed by period of REM sleep i.e. it was necessary to pass through non-REM cycle to enter into REM state. REM sleep was characterized by increased brain activity,dreaming and loss of muscle tone i.e. REM sleep atonia. In narcolepsy, cycle of NREM alternating with REM was abnormal and entry occured directly into REM sleep with a latency to onset of REM sleep that was abnormally shortened (sleep onset REM). REM sleep was characterised by increased brain activity, dreaming and loss of muscle tone i.e. REM sleep atonia. SOREM was measured on overnight PSG which was used to assess sleep architecture. Last assessed value of OLP (Day 28) value was used as baseline value for DBP. Change from end of OLP was calculated by subtracting the value on Day 28 minus the value on Day 42. Least square mean was used to present the value for adjusted mean.
Change from Baseline in POMS-B Domain Scores for the DBP Baseline (Day -1) up to Day 42 POMS scale was an adjective rating scale and considered to be a standardized mood-state inventory. The short form of the POMS was a 30 word-item questionnaire that was completed by the participant. Participants were instructed to rate each adjective on the basis of how they felt at the present time on a scale. The short form consisted of 30 adjective words with 5-point scale degrees of agreement (0=applies not at all, 4=applies extremely) and yielded six types of mood states: tension-anxiety (sum of 1, 6, 12, 16, and 20), depression-dejection (sum of 7, 11, 15, 17, and 21), anger-hostility (sum of 2, 9, 14, 25, and 28), vigour-activity (sum of 4, 8, 10, 27, and 30), fatigue-inertia (sum of 3, 13, 19, 22, and 23) and confusion-bewilderment (sum of 5, 18, 24, 26, and 29). Baseline was defined at Visit 1 (Day -1). Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the value on Day -1 minus the value on Day 42.
Change from End of OLP (Day 28) in Frequency of Cataplexy Attacks during the DBP Day 28 up to Day 42 Narcolepsy was classically described as excessive daytime sleepiness in association with emotionally triggered episodes of muscle weakness, known as cataplexy. Forms of narcolepsy exist without cataplexy which varies in severity from barely perceptible loss of tone of the facial muscles to total collapse. The number of daily cataplexy attacks was estimated and recorded in the diary card. Last assessed value of OLP (Day 28) value was used as baseline value for DBP. Change from end of OLP was calculated by subtracting the value on Day 28 minus the value on Day 30-35 and 36-42. Least square mean was used to present the value for adjusted mean.
Change from End of OLP (Day 28) in Severity of Nocturnal Symptoms during the DBP Day 28 up to Week 42 Participants kept a daily diary card to record the severity of nocturnal narcolepsy symptoms. The overall severity of the nocturnal symptoms was rated at the end of each day using a VAS. In the morning, upon waking and at the time they took their morning dose participants were asked to record the severity of any night time disease symptoms such as hypnagogic hallucinations / sleep paralysis or night terrors using the following question: When considering the sleep you had last night, how troublesome were any dreams, hallucinations or other narcolepsy symptoms such as sleep paralysis- Not troublesome, e.g. hard to remember / not vivid or Very unpleasant, e.g. very vivid and/or of a frightening or disturbing nature. Last assessed value of OLP (Day 28) value was used as baseline value for DBP. Change from end of OLP was calculated by subtracting the value on Day 28 minus the value on Day 30-35 and Day 36-42. Least square mean was used to present the value for adjusted mean.
Change from Baseline in the Leeds Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire (LSEQ) during the OLP Baseline (Day -1) up to Day 28 The LSEQ had 10 questions captured on a 100mm VAS which allowed qualitative assessment of sleep. Four domain scores were calculated: 1. Getting to Sleep (GTS)-1. Easier than usual/Harder than usual, 2. Quicker than usual/Slower than usual or 3. Felt more drowsy than usual/Felt less drowsy than usual (Average of 1, 2, 3); 2. Quality of Sleep (QOS)- 4. More restful than usual/More restless than usual or 5. Fewer periods of wakefulness than usual/More periods of wakefulness than usual (Average 4 and 5); 3. Awakening from Sleep (AFS)- 6. Easier than usual/More difficult than usual or 7. Took shorter than usual/Took longer than usual (Average of 6 and 7); 4. Behavior Following Waking (BFW)- 8 and 9. Alert/Tired or 10. Less clumsy than usual/More clumsy than usual (Average of 8, 9 and 10). Baseline was defined at Visit 1 (Day -1). Change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the value on Day -1 minus the value on Day 1-6,7-13,14-20,21-29.

Less clumsy than usual/More clumsy than usual (Average of 8, 9, and 10). Last assessed value of OLP (Day 28) value was used as baseline value for DBP. Change from end of OLP was calculated by subtracting the value on Day 28 minus the value on Day 30-35 and Day 36-42.
Change from Baseline in Frequency of Daytime Naps (Based on Actigraphy) during the OLP Baseline up to Day 28 The number of daytime naps was calculated based on Actigraphy. Actigraphy data was collected using the Actiwatch activity monitoring system. Participants were asked to continuously wear a small actigraphy monitor on the wrist of their non-dominant arm during the study in order to objectively monitor sleep quality and daytime napping. The Actiwatch was a wrist-worn device that produced a signal as the wearer made physical movement which was used as a surrogate marker of sleep. Participants marked time in bed manually with the watch, which improved assessment of sleep efficiency. Baseline was defined at Visit 1 (Day -7). Change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the value on Day -7 minus the value on Day 1-6,7-13,14-20,21-29.
Number of participants who responded to open-label treatment on Day 28 Day 28 The number of participants who responded to treatment at the end of the OLP (Day 28) and who were randomized to the DBP have been presented. Treatment response was defined as a 2 minute increase in sleep latency in the MWT from baseline and a sleep latency in the MWT of at least 5 minutes on Day 28.
Number of participants with Improved assessment of illness on day 14 and 28 as measured by the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) and by the Clinician Global Impression of Change (CGIC) Day 14 and 28 Disease severity was scored by the clinician (CGIC) and participant (PGIC) using a verbal rating scale from 1-7 which was as follows: 1.Very much improved, 2.Much improved, 3.Minimally improved, 4.No change, 5.Minimally worse, 6.Much worse and 7.Very much worse. During OLP (until Day 28), the investigator/participant indicated their assessment of total improvement or worsening compared with the same participant's condition at start of treatment, whether or not the change was due to drug. However, when disease severity was assessed at end of DBP, the assessor rated any change in disease severity recorded at the beginning of DBP (Day 28), rather than the start of treatment. At this time, participants randomised to active treatment were expected to have "No change" or perhaps a minimal change, while participants randomised to placebo were expected to have answers such as "Much worse" or "Very much worse", demonstrating a loss of response upon active treatment withdrawal.
Change from Baseline in number of errors on the DVT to the End of OLP (Day 28) Baseline (Day -1), Day 14 and Day 28 Participants completed the two-page DVT at the end of each MWT assessment. Participants were required to scan through two pages of numbers and cross out every time the control number (either a 6 or a 9) appeared. The percent accuracy (number of errors) to complete the task was recorded. Baseline was defined at Visit 1 (Day -1). Change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the value on Day -1 minus the value on Day 14 and 28.
Assessment of Nocturnal Actigraphy for the DLP- Average actual sleep time, Average actual wake time, Average sleep latency duration Up to Day 42 Actigraphy data was collected using the Actiwatch activity monitoring system.
