Background summary
Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep problem that happens when muscle and soft
tissue in the throat blocks the airways and makes it difficult to breathe while
asleep. People with obstructive sleep apnea may have a lower quality of sleep
at night, which can mean they are very sleepy in the daytime. Daytime
sleepiness can reduce mental function, including the ability to learn, think,
concentrate, remember things, solve problems, or make
decisions.
The study drug, solriamfetol, is a tablet taken by mouth. It is used to improve
wakefulness in people with obstructive sleep apnea. Solriamfetol has been
approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the United States Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) for doctors to prescribe outside clinical trials for
people with obstructive sleep apnea who still feel very sleepy in the daytime,
despite using other standard therapies. Solriamfetol does not treat the
underlying cause of obstructive sleep apnea, and does not take the place of
other therapies, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
The use of solriamfetol for improving mental function is investigational.
Study objective
Primary Objective:
To evaluate the effect of solriamfetol on cognitive functioning using an
objective measurement.
Secondary Objective:
To evaluate the effect of solriamfetol on cognitive functioning using a
subjective endpoint
Study design
The study is designed as a prospective, multicenter, 2-arm, randomized,
double-blind, placebo-controlled interventional crossover trial of solriamfetol
(75 mg titrated to 150 mg after 3 days) or matched placebo, then continued for
a 2 week period total before completing a 1-week washout followed by the
crossover period. Study intervention will be administered in a balanced 2 × 2
Latin square design, where half of the participants will receive placebo first
and half of the participants will receive solriamfetol first.
Intervention
Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to solriamfetol versus placebo. Subjects will
take either placebo or solriamfetol for two weeks, then have a one week washout
period and then switch to the other e.g. subject taking solriamfetol in first
two weeks will take placebo during the second two week period, and vice versa.
Both solriamfetol and placebo will be administered orally, once a day. The dose
of solriamfetol will be 75 mg to begin with and then uptitrated to 150mg
Study burden and risks
Previous clinical studies provide compelling evidence that solriamfetol has
robust wake-promoting efficacy and a predictable safety profile that can be
characterized, monitored and managed through routine clinical practice
measures. Solriamfetol has a comprehensive clinical efficacy and safety
database (including postmarketing experience) comprising healthy participants
and those with EDS associated with OSA and narcolepsy, with a consistent safety
profile across conditions. The benefit/risk profile is favorable in
participants with OSA and narcolepsy, which supported the approval of doses up
to 150 mg in each of these conditions. In the proposed trial, we will be
targeting a final dose of 150 mg. This dose showed the highest level of
improvement in wakefulness and reduction in sleepiness during the pivotal
trials. The overall safety finding in participants taking the 150 mg dose was
not significantly different from the 75 mg dose, and based on the titration
schedule in clinical studies, the data from pivotal trials with solriamfetol
(Studies 14-004 and 14-005) support the initiation of solriamfetol at 75 mg
once daily.
Potential safety risks with the use of solriamfetol are serious psychiatric
events, increases in BP and HR, and a potential for abuse. The risks to
participants are expected to be similar to those seen in prior clinical
studies. Adverse events (AEs) following a single dose have generally been
transient and mild to moderate.

last dose of study intervention:
• Refrain from donating sperm
PLUS, either:
• Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and
usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree
to remain abstinent
OR
• Must agree to use contraception/barrier as detailed below
• Agree to use a male condom with female partner use of an additional
highly effective contraceptive method with a failure rate of < 1% per
year as described in Appendix 5 Contraceptive and Barrier Requirements
when having sexual intercourse with a women of childbearing potential

(with a failure rate of < 1% per year), as described in 0 Contraceptive

least 14 days after the last dose of study intervention. The investigator
should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure (eg,
noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of
study intervention.

• Additional requirements for pregnancy testing during and after study
intervention are located in Section 8.4.5.
• The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual
history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a
woman with an early undetected pregnancy.
