The patient is a man or a woman aged 18 through 65 years of age (inclusive) and English-speaking.
The patient has excessive sleepiness associated with a diagnosis of narcolepsy or Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD) criteria. For OSAHS, the patient must be a regular nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) therapy user (usage at least 4 hours/night on at least 70% of nights), must have documented adequate education and intervention efforts to encourage nCPAP therapy use, the patient's nCPAP therapy regimen must be stable for at least 4 weeks prior to study entry, and the patient's nCPAP therapy must be effective in the opinion of the investigator.
The patient is in good health as determined by a medical and psychiatric history, clinical laboratory tests, vital signs measurements, electrocardiography (ECG), physical examination, and urine drug screen (UDS) at screening.
If currently receiving therapy for excessive sleepiness associated with their sleep disorder, the patient is dissatisfied because of efficacy and/or safety with their current therapy (i.e., pharmacologic, nap, or bright light therapy), if taken, for excessive sleepiness associated with their sleep disorder.
The patient has a Clinical Global Impression of Severity of Illness (CGI-S) rating at baseline of 4 or more (i.e., at least moderately ill).
Women of childbearing potential (not surgically sterile or 2 years postmenopausal) must use a medically accepted method of contraception and must agree to continue use of this method for the duration of the study and for 30 days after participation in the study. Acceptable methods of contraception include abstinence, barrier method with spermicide, steroidal contraceptive (oral, transdermal, implanted, and injected) in conjunction with a barrier method, or intrauterine device (IUD).
The patient must be willing and able to comply with study procedures and restrictions, including the completion of self-rating scales, and be willing to return to the study center for visits as specified in this protocol.
The patient may have been prescribed pharmacologic therapy for excessive sleepiness associated with a sleep disorder; however, they must have undergone a washout period of at least 7 days prior to the baseline visit.
