Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT)
change from baseline at 12 weeks

The MWT is an objective assessment of sleepiness that measures the ability of a subject to remain awake. Long latencies to sleep are indicative of a patient's ability to remain awake. The primary variable was the 30 minute MWT (average of 4 naps at 0900, 1100, 1300, and 1500) assessed at the last postbaseline observation.

Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C)
change from baseline at 12 weeks

The CGI-C represents a subjective measure of the patient's global health (clinician's rating of disease severity as compared with a pretreatment evaluation as assessed by the CGI-S). The CGI-C scale (change from baseline)categories include:1=Very much improved; 2=Much improved; 3=Minimally improved; 4=No change; 5=Minimally worse; 6=Much worse; and 7=Very much worse. Severity of illness (CGI-S) was assessed at baseline includes categories: 1=Normal; 2=Borderline ill; 3=Mildly (Slightly) ill; 4=Moderately ill; 5=Markedly ill; 6=Severely ill; and 7=Among the most extremely ill patients.

Number of Participants Who Had at Least Minimal Improvement in CGI-C Ratings at Week 12 or Last Post-baseline Visit.
12 weeks or last post-baseline visit

Number of participants who had at least minimal improvement in CGI-C ratings at Week 12 or last post-baseline visit. The CGI-C uses the following categories and scoring assignments: 1=Very much improved; 2=Much improved; 3=Minimally improved; 4=No change; 5=Minimally worse; 6=Much worse; and 7=Very much worse. Severity of illness was assessed at baseline by the CGI-S, which consists of the following categories: 1=Normal (shows no signs of illness); 2=Borderline ill; 3=Mildly (Slightly) ill; 4=Moderately ill; 5=Markedly ill; 6=Severely ill; and 7=Among the most extremely ill patients.

Frequently asked questions about Armodafinil/day

What is Armodafinil used for?

Armodafinil is an investigational small molecule being studied for use in bipolar I depression, obstructive sleep apnea, excessive sleepiness, schizophrenia, depression, and excessive daytime sleepiness. It is being developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (TEVA) and is currently in Phase 2 clinical development.

What does Armodafinil target?

Armodafinil is a small molecule that targets the central nervous system to promote wakefulness. It is being studied for its effects on excessive sleepiness associated with conditions like obstructive sleep apnea and as an adjunctive treatment for depression in bipolar I disorder.

Who makes Armodafinil?

Armodafinil is being developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, a company traded on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol TEVA. The drug is currently in Phase 2 clinical trials for psychiatric and sleep-related indications.

What phase is Armodafinil in?

Armodafinil is currently in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA. Clinical trials have been completed for conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea and bipolar I depression, but the drug remains under investigation.

What clinical trials is Armodafinil in?

Armodafinil has been studied in several completed clinical trials, including NCT00078325 for excessive sleepiness in obstructive sleep apnea, and NCT01072630, NCT01072929, and NCT01305408 for adjunctive treatment of major depression in bipolar I disorder. These trials were randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled.

Is Armodafinil the same as Nuvigil?

Armodafinil is the generic name for the drug marketed as Nuvigil. It is the longer-acting enantiomer of modafinil and is used to improve wakefulness in patients with excessive sleepiness associated with conditions like obstructive sleep apnea.
