Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

For all participants in any trial Part (A, B, C and D):

  • The participant has a resting supine pulse ≥45 and ≤100 beats per minute (bpm) at the Screening Visit and at the Baseline Visit.

Specifically for participants in trial Part A, B, and D:

  • The participant has a (BMI) ≥18.5 and ≤30 kilograms (kg)/square meter (m\^2) at the Screening Visit.
  • The participant has a normal circadian rhythm, defined as a person who usually wakes up between 6:00 and 9:00 a.m. and goes to sleep between 9:00 p.m. and midnight.
  • The participant is ≥18 and ≤55 years of age at the Screening Visit.

Specifically for participants in trial Part C:

  • The participant has a BMI ≥18.5 and ≤35 kg/m\^2 at the Screening Visit.
  • The participant has NT1, diagnosed according to International Classification of Sleep Disorders, 3rd edition criteria, with a history of disease diagnosis >3 months prior to the Screening Visit.
  • The participant is ≥18 and ≤64 years of age at the Screening Visit.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

For all participants in any trial Part (A, B, C and D):

  • The participant has previously been enrolled in this trial.
  • The participant has previously been dosed with Lu AH69593.
  • The participant has participated in a clinical trial \<30 days prior to the Screening Visit.
  • The participant is pregnant, breastfeeding, intends to become pregnant, or is of and not willing to use adequate methods.
  • The participant has a history of cancer, other than basal cell or Stage 1 squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or adequately treated cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, that has not been in remission for >5 years prior to the first dose of medicinal product (IMP).
  • The participant has worked shifts, including night duty, or has travelled across >3 time zones \<2 weeks prior to the first dose of IMP.
  • The participant trains/exercises intensively, for example, for a marathon or triathlon, or at a competitive level.

Specifically for participants in trial Part A, B and D:

  • The participant has had a illness from which he/she recovered \<4 weeks prior to the first dose of IMP.

Specifically for Participants in trial Part B and C:

  • The participant is at significant risk of suicide based on medical history, mental status, investigator judgement, or the C-SSRS answer of 'yes' to suicidal ideation question 4 or 5 or 'yes' to suicidal behaviour, within the last 6 months on the C-SSRS at the Screening Visit or 'Since last visit' at the Baseline Visit Day -1.

Specifically for participants in trial Part C:

  • The participant has any other disorder for which the treatment takes priority over treatment of narcolepsy or is likely to interfere with trial treatment or impair treatment compliance.
  • The participant has a current medical disorder, other than NT1, associated with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS).

Note: Other protocol-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

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.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

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.
