What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects With at Least One Adverse Event During This Open-label Extension Study

    Adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences in a subject administered study treatment, whether or not these events are related to treatment.

    Time frame: four years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects Who Withdrew From the Trial Due to an Adverse Event

    Adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences in a subject administered study treatment, whether or not these events are related to treatment.

    Time frame: four years

  2. Mean Epworth Sleepiness Scale Score During the Open-label Extension.

    The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a self-administered questionnaire with 8 questions. The total ESS score is the sum of 8 item-scores and can range between 0 and 24. The higher the score, the higher the person's level of daytime sleepiness.

    Time frame: Visit 6 (post year 1), Visit 10 (post year 2), Visit 14 (post year 3), End of Treatment (last study visit or early withdrawal visit)
