Study summary

Central hypersomnias are rare diseases that include narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia.

The Sleep and Vigilance Center at Hôtel-Dieu has been certified as a Rare Disease Reference Center (CRMR) for these conditions since 2005.

Scientific advances and changes to the ICSD (International Classification of Sleep Disorders) since 2005 (diagnostic criteria and drugs brought to market) have greatly improved the care of patients with central hypersomnia.

This retrospective and prospective study aims to evaluate how each advance translates into concrete terms in the care of patients followed at our center.

Main objective :

Determine whether new treatments are prescribed to replace treatments already on the market (reduction in prescriptions for treatments previously marketed) or whether they enable patients who have reached a therapeutic impasse to be treated (no reduction in prescriptions for treatments previously marketed).

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Nov 2036, 120 months later.

Of 19 observational studies under Narcolepsy, half reached primary completion within 61 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 73. This study's planned 120 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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.
