|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) Score | Day -1, Day 14 | The Epworth Sleepiness Scale asks participants to respond to 8 scenarios with how likely they are to fall asleep on a 4-point scale where 0 = "would never doze" and 3 = "high chance of dozing". Total scores range from 0 to 24 where higher scores indicate a higher chance of falling asleep during daytime activities. The change in ESS score is obtained by subtracting the total score at Day 14 from the baseline score. Scores above 0 mean that the mean score at Day 14 was lower than the mean score at Baseline, indicating less sleepiness. |
| Primary | Change in Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) for Sleep Latency | Day -1, Day 14 | The MWT polysomnographic procedure for sleep latency examines how well participants stay awake during several trials where participants relax in a quiet room for 40 minutes. One study found the mean sleep latency among persons without a sleep disorder to be 35.2 minutes. The change from baseline is calculated as baseline sleep latency minus sleep latency at Day 14, in minutes. Positive values result when the duration of sleep latency at Day 14 is lower than at Baseline. |
| Primary | Change in Gamma-aminobutyric Acid Receptor A (GABA-A) Potentiation | Day -1, Day 14 | Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is drawn to determine the change in levels of GABA-A potentiation between the study arms. The difference between measured current with GABA alone and the current measured with GABA + CSF yields a measure of potentiation for each CSF sample in each condition. The change from baseline is calculated as the baseline value minus the value at Day 14. |
| Primary | Change in Default Mode Network (DMN) Connectivity | Day -2, Day 13 | The default mode network (DMN) consists of a group of highly correlated brain regions most active during quiet rest, while the task positive network (TPN) is the brain network activated for goal-directed tasks. DMN connectivity changes with sleep states and it is increasingly implicated in the symptomatology of sleepiness. During resting state, sleep deprived participants demonstrate reduced static connectivity with the DMN. Changes in DMN between the Baseline 1 (Day - 2) and Day 13 visits are compared between treatment groups, particularly using quasi-periodic patterns (QPPs), which interrogate network-level connectivity on a dynamic scale. Preservation of the temporal dimension provides more insight into how this spatiotemporal network propagates across condition and pathology. The DMN/TPN QPP correlation is reported. |
| Primary | Change in Tumor Necrosis Factor - Alpha (TNF-α) | Day -1, Day 14 | Blood samples are used to determine the change in levels of TNF-α between the study arms. TNF-α is a soporific cytokine and a reduction in soporific cytokines is hypothesized to reduce daytime sleepiness. |
| Primary | Change in Gastrointestinal Microbiome Composition | Day -1, Day 14 | Changes in microbiome composition, as measured by alpha diversity using the Shannon Index, via 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing results are compared between study arms. The Shannon Index measures both abundance and evenness of microbial species, values of 0 indicate that a community has only one species. The higher the value the higher the diversity of species in a particular community. Change from baseline is calculated by subtracting the Day 14 value from the value at Baseline. Numbers greater than 0 indicate that the Day 14 Shannon index value is lower than at Baseline. |
| Secondary | On-Treatment Sleep Duration | Day 1 through Day 14 | Participants log when they go to bed and when they wake up in order to calculate the number of minutes spent sleeping. The average duration of sleep across 14 days is compared between study arms. |
| Secondary | Change in Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) Score | Day -1, Day 14 | Fatigue severity is measured with the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). The FSS is a 9-item instrument where responses are on a scale of 1 to 7 where 1 = "disagree" and 7 = "agree". Total scores range from 9 to 63 where higher scores indicate greater fatigue. The change in FSS score is obtained by subtracting the total score at Day 14 from the Baseline score. Scores above 0 signify that the mean score at Day 14 was lower than the mean score at Baseline, indicating decreased fatigue. |
| Secondary | Change in Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) Score | Day -1, Day 14 | The MFI-20 is a 20-item instrument assessing fatigue severity. Responses are on a 5-point scale where 1 = "yes, that is true" and 5 = "no, that is not true". Positively phrased items are reverse scored so that the total score ranges from 20 to 100 where higher scores indicate greater severity of fatigue. The change in MFI-20 score is obtained by subtracting the total score at Day 14 from the Baseline score. Scores above 0 signify that the mean score at Day 14 was lower than the mean score at Baseline, indicating decreased fatigue. |
| Secondary | Change in Sleep Inertia Questionnaire (SIQ) Score | Day -1, Day 14 | The SIQ is an instrument with 21 items with responses on a 5-point scale where 1 = "not at all" and 5 = "all the time". Two additional questions relate to how much time it takes for the respondent to wake up in the morning. Total scores range from 21 to 105 and higher scores indicate increased difficulty from tiredness. The change in SIQ score is obtained by subtracting the total score at Day 14 from the baseline score. Scores above 0 signify that the mean score at Day 14 was lower than the mean score at Baseline, indicating reduced difficulty awakening. |
| Secondary | On-Treatment Sleep Inertia Likert Scale | Day 1 through Day 14 | Sleep inertia is measured with a single item on a 10-point Likert scale asking participants how difficult it was for them to wake up in the morning, where 1 = "not difficult at all" and 10 = "very difficult". The average scores across 14 days are compared between study arms. |
| Secondary | Change in Interleukin 1 Alpha (IL-1α) | Day -1, Day 14 | Blood samples are used to determine the change in levels of IL-1α between the study arms. IL-1α is a soporific cytokine and a reduction in soporific cytokines is hypothesized to reduce daytime sleepiness.
