Group	Intervention	Description
Placebo	Placebo	Once daily dosing
JZP-110	JZP-110	150 mg/day for first 3 days and 300 mg/day for next 4 days

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Standard Deviation of Lateral Position (SDLP) at 2 Hours Post-dose (Approximately at Tmax)	2 hours post-dose	Subjects were instructed to drive with steady lateral position between the delineated boundaries of the slower (right) traffic lane, while maintaining a constant speed of 95 kilometers (km) per hour (hr). Deviation was measured by the vehicle's speed and lateral distance to the left lane line and was continuously recorded. Individual improvement was defined as a decrease in SDLP below the negative value of threshold; individual impairment was defined as an increase in SDLP above the threshold or failure to complete the driving test due to sleepiness or subjects related safety concerns.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Subjects With Improved or Impaired Driving at a Threshold 3.0 cm on JZP-110 Compared to Placebo 6 Hours Post-dose	6 hours post-dose	Individual changes (solriamfetol minus placebo) in driving performance were measured by SDLP at 6 hours postdose. The Maximum McNemar symmetry analyses was used to detect an asymmetry in the distribution of the change in driving performance at 6 hours postdose. The test examined the differences in the proportions of impaired drivers and improved drivers following treatment using a generalized single McNemar test statistics were obtained at each threshold (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5 cm), which was the vehicle weaving amount. Changes in SDLP exceeding 2.4 cm have been evaluated as clinically relevant. Improvement was defined as a decrease in SDLP comparing JZP-110 and placebo below the threshold and impairment was defined as an increase in SDLP above the threshold or failure to complete the driving test due to sleepiness or subjects related safety concerns.
