Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Meets ICSD-3 criteria for IH or Narcolepsy Type 2 and not undergoing pharmacologic treatment for the condition
  • Usual nightly total sleep at least 6 hours as single major rest period without naps
  • Epworth Sleepiness Scale of 10 or greater
  • Males or females age 18 to 65 years

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any disorder causing hypersomnia other than IH or Narcolepsy Type 2
  • Usual bedtime later than midnight
  • Seizure disorder or history of syncope, unexplained loss of consciousness or seizure in the past 3 years
  • Beck Depression Inventory score greater than 19
  • Beck Anxiety Inventory score greater than 15
  • Significant history of or current suicidal ideation or behavior
  • less than 18 kg/m2 or greater than 39 kg/m2
  • Positive toxicology screen or breathalyzer test
  • abnormal findings on safety assessments
  • Any significant medical or psychiatric disease or any condition that would put the patient at risk by participating in the study
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 16, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
