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: 6 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: 6 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 11 (end of year 1), Visit 15 (end of year 2), Visit 19 (end of year 3), Visit 23 (end of year 4), Visit 27 (end of year 5), Visit 31 (end of year 6), End of Treatment (last study visit or early withdrawal visit)
