Seventy-five Parkinson's patients with debilitating, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) were recruited in
THN102 met the primary efficacy endpoint and significantly increased the proportion of patients no longer suffering from daytime sleepiness for the duration of the treatment
The trial demonstrated the efficacy of THN102 in doses of THN102 200mg modafinil/2mg flecainide ('THN102-200/2'), with significant superiority over the placebo in reducing EDS measured using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS - the most widely used sleepiness scale, ranging from 0 to 24). The ESS score improved by 3.9 points in patients after treatment with THN102-200/2. This improvement is highly significant (p=0.01) compared with that achieved by the placebo (2.4 points).
