`
`W T
`
`he sponsor has submitted two US multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel trials of
`modalfinil for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) associated with narcolepsy.
`Although 4 other European trials have been submitted, this review covers only the US studies 301
`and 302.
`

`
`Both trials had double-blind treatment periods of 9 weeks. Treatment arms were placebo, 200
`mg/d, and 400 mg/d. Primary endpints were the MWT (Maintenance of Wakefulness Test) and
`the CGI-C (Clinical Global Impression of Change). The MWT was given 4 times during each visit
`(visits at baseline and at weeks 3, 6, and 9). The average ofthe 4 observations was used as the
`unit of analysis for the visit. The maximum time to fall asleep was set at 20 minutes.
`Secondary endpoints were the MSLT (Multiple Sleep Latency Test), the Epworth Sleepiness
`Scale (E88), and the Steer Clear Performance Test (SCPT).
`
`This review focuses on the "efficacy-evaluable“ patients: those who took medication at least once
`and who had at least one post-baseline observation for bath the MWT and the CGI-C.
`
`The primary analysis was ANCOVA for MWT (baseline average MWT as the covariate along
`with study site as a factor) and CMH for the CGI-C using study site and baseline CGI-S as strata.
`
`The trials were designed so that 95 patients/group would be sufiicient to achieve 80% power to
`detect a difference of 4.0 change fi'om baseline units compared to placebo.
`
`Results
`
`Patient characteristics were well-balanced at baseline. Since the design and results of both
`studies are nearly identical, they will be discussed together.

`
`Table 1 displays the number of patients at each visit week of the study for the eficacy-evaluable
`subset. There does not appear to be a significant problem with dropouts. Table 2 displays the
`entire set of results for both trials for this patient subset. See Figure l for graphical displays of
`each trial’s treatment means over time. In both studies, both doses were statistically significantly
`difl‘erent fi'om placebo for both primary endpoints (p<.01 or less). Part of this treatment difi‘erence
`was due to the percentages of patients who remained awake for the full 20 minutes.Table 3
`displays the percentage of patients in each treatment group who stayed awake for a given number
`(0, 1, 2, 3, or 4) of 20 minute periods. At endpoint in both studies, approximately 80% of the
`placebo patients fell asleep within 20 minutes, whereas only 55% ofthe modafinil patients did.
`
`I
`
`CGI-C
`
`Table 4 displays the distribution of CGI-C scores in both studies. Both studies seem to show that
`a large part of the treatment effect comes from the category “much improved” in the 400 mg/d
`group. Table 5 displays the percentage of patients who “improved”, while Figure 2 displays a bar
`chart of the percentage of patients who improved over time. P-values for comparisons to
`placebo are clearly significant in both studies.
`
`Qanslusicn
`
`The sponsor has submitted two clinical trials showing statistical evidence that modafinil is more
`efi‘ective than placebo in prolonging wakefulness. There is no evidence that 400 mg/d is more
`efi‘ective than 200 mg/d.

`A value of 0 indicates that a patient stayed awake'for none of the 4 MWT assessments While a value of
