What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) performance

    PVT metrics are reaction time. It is measured when the participants are awake during the inpatient portion of the protocol.

    Measured: PVT during waking for arms 1 and 2 during the 32-day inpatient portion of the protocol

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) performance (time frame: PVT during waking for arms 1 and 2 during the 32-day inpatient portion of the protocol). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01581125, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
