Recruiting PHASE2 Narcolepsy

Tests treatment safety and results for Narcolepsy

Official title A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of E2086 in Adults With Narcolepsy

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07493265

What this study is testing

What is E2086?

E2086 is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for narcolepsy.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the optimal doses of E2086 compared to placebo in participants with narcolepsy for reduction of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) as assessed by Mean Sleep Latency (MSL) (measured from the first 4 maintenance of wakefulness tests [MWTs]).
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
