A Twelve-week, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized, Parallel-group, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Solriamfetol in the Treatment of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 12-week solriamfetol administration in the treatment of EDS in patients with OSA from China, using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, parallel-design.


Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion criteria:

1. Male or female between 18 to 75 years of age, inclusive.
2. Diagnosis of OSA according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, 3rd edition (ICSD-3) criteria.
3. Patients with OSA may be considered for enrollment if they meet one of the following criteria:

   1. Use of a primary therapy for OSA (i.e., positive airway pressure (PAP), oral pressure therapy, oral appliance, or upper airway stimulator) on at least 1 night per week, or
   2. History of at least 1 month of an attempt to use one or more primary OSA therapies with at least one documented adjustment that was made in an attempt to optimize the primary OSA therapy, or participants who have never used and refuse to use a primary OSA therapy, or
   3. History of a surgical intervention intended to treat OSA symptoms.
4. A stable level of compliance with a primary OSA therapy for at least 1 month prior to the baseline visit as follows:

   1. A stable level of use of a primary OSA therapy, or
   2. A lack of use of a primary OSA therapy either following a history of attempted use, or have never used before, or
   3. A history of a surgical intervention intended to treat OSA symptoms.
5. Baseline ESS score no less than 10 points (≥ 10 points).
6. Baseline MWT mean sleep latency \< 30 minutes (documented by the mean of the first four 40-minute trials of the MWTs).
7. Usual nightly total sleep time of at least 6 hours (≥ 6 hours).
8. Body mass index (BMI) from18 kg/m2 to \< 45 kg/m2.
9. Female participants must have negative pregnancy test results at the screening and baseline visits; all participants must consent to use a medically acceptable method of contraception throughout the entire study period and for 30 days after the study is completed.
10. Willing and able to provide written informed consent, willing and able to comply with the study protocol (i.e., must be able to understand and complete the study questionnaires and scales, comply with the visit schedule and prescribed dosage regimens).
11. Determined by the investigator to be medically stable as assessed by medical history, physical examination, laboratory and electrocardiogram test results and review of concomitant medications.

Exclusion criteria：

1. Female participants who are pregnant or lactating.
2. Usual bedtime later than 1 a.m. (01:00).
3. Occupation requiring nighttime shift work or variable shift work.
4. Any other clinically relevant medical, behavioral, or psychiatric disorders other than OSA that is associated with excessive sleepiness.
5. History or presence of bipolar disorder, bipolar related disorders, schizophrenia, schizophrenia spectrum disorder, or other psychotic disorders according to DSM-5 criteria, or presence of significant suicidality.
6. History or presence of any acutely unstable medical condition, behavioral or cognitive impairment, or any medical condition or surgical history that could affect the safety of the participant or interfere with study efficacy, safety and PK assessments, or the ability of the participant to complete the study per the judgment of the investigator.
7. History of the bariatric surgery within the past year or a history of any gastric bypass procedure.
8. Presence of renal impairment or calculated creatinine clearance less than 60 mL/min at screening, which is calculated using the following formula: CLcr (mL/min) = (140 - age \[years\]) x body weight (kg) x (0.85, if female))/(72 x serum creatinine value \[mg/dL\]), if serum creatinine is expressed in µmol/L, the value should be divided by 88.4 to convert µmol/L to mg/dL.
9. Clinically significant ECG abnormality in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation in the study.
10. Presence of significant cardiovascular disease at screening, including but not limited to: myocardial infarction within the past year, unstable angina pectoris, symptomatic congestive heart failure \[(American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) Stage C or D)\], revascularization procedures within the past year, ventricular cardiac arrhythmia requiring an automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) or medication therapy, uncontrolled hypertension, systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 95 mmHg (at Screening, or across Baseline measures according to protocol specifications), or any significant cardiovascular condition that in the investigator's opinion may jeopardize participant's safety in the study.
11. Laboratory value(s) outside the laboratory reference range that are considered to be clinically significant and may affect the safety of the participant per the judgment of the investigator (including clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis) (Note: Screening labs may be repeated once).
12. Excessive caffeine use one week prior to the baseline assessments, or anticipated excess caffeine use during the study, defined as greater than 600 mg caffeine per day (\>600 mg/day).
13. Use of any over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription medications that could affect the evaluation of excessive sleepiness within a time period prior to the baseline visit corresponding to at least five half-lives of the drug(s) or planned use of such drug(s) at some point throughout the duration of the study. Examples of excluded medications include OTC sleep aids or stimulants (e.g., pseudoephedrine), methylphenidate, amphetamines, modafinil, 2-acetamide, sodium oxybate, pemoline, trazodone, hypnotics, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and opioids, and any traditional Chinese medicine that may affect sleep. Medications should be discontinued such that the participant has returned to his/her baseline level of daytime sleepiness at least 7 days prior to the baseline visit, in the opinion of the investigator.
14. Use of a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) in the past 14 days or five half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the baseline visit or plans to use an MAOI during the study.
15. Received an investigational drug or device in the past 30 days or five half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the baseline visit, or plans to use an investigational drug (other than the investigational drug) or investigational medical devices during the study
