Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change From Baseline to Endpoint in Number of Contiguous Activated Voxels Meeting Predefined Threshold in Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) on Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) as a Measure of Prefrontal Cortical Activation | Baseline and Endpoint (Week 2 or last observation after baseline) | The primary outcome was the change from baseline in number of contiguous activated voxels in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at Week 2(or last observation after baseline). Each voxel is compared to the reference wave form. If it differs from that value p\<0.05, the voxel is considered active. fMRI is a brain imaging technique that identifies neuronal activation related to specific tasks or sensory stimulation. Increased neuronal activity increases blood flow and oxygen content to the activated part of the brain, altering fMRI signal. |

Outcome results
Primary
Change From Baseline to Endpoint in Number of Contiguous Activated Voxels Meeting Predefined Threshold in Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) on Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) as a Measure of Prefrontal Cortical Activation
The primary outcome was the change from baseline in number of contiguous activated voxels in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at Week 2(or last observation after baseline). Each voxel is compared to the reference wave form. If it differs from that value p\<0.05, the voxel is considered active. fMRI is a brain imaging technique that identifies neuronal activation related to specific tasks or sensory stimulation. Increased neuronal activity increases blood flow and oxygen content to the activated part of the brain, altering fMRI signal.
Time frame: Baseline and Endpoint (Week 2 or last observation after baseline)
Population: Efficacy analyses were performed on the full analysis dataset which includes those patients in the safety analysis set who had at least 1 post baseline primary efficacy assessment.

Comparison: Using the standardized difference of 1.10, 28 evaluable patients (14 per treatment group) were required to provide 80% power while controlling the 2-sided, Type 1 error rate at 0.05. With an estimated 25% attrition rate, a total of 38 patients (19 per group) were planned. First analyzed using ANCOVA,the residuals were used to test for normality using Shapiro-Wilk; normality was violated therefore treatment comparison used the Wilcoxon rank sum.p-value: 0.738295% CI: [-2470, 2102.3]Wilcoxon (Mann-Whitney)

Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) Signal Intensity -Change From Baseline to Endpoint in the Posterior Parietal Cortex (PPC)
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a brain imaging technique that identifies neuronal activation in regions related to specific tasks or sensory stimulation such as language, vision, hearing, and short-term memory. When neuronal activity increases, blood flow increases to that part of the brain with an increase in the oxygen content of the blood. Increase in oxygen content causes the fMRI signal in that part of the brain to change, and is the basis of the BOLD effect. The percent change in BOLD signal from Baseline to 2 weeks or last observation after baseline is presented here.

Change From Baseline to Endpoint in Mean Response Latency in the 2-Back Working Memory Test at Endpoint - Mean Performance Speed
The 2-Back is a verbal working memory test in which random letters are presented visually every 4 sec, with each stimulus lasting 500 msec. Subjects are asked to make a yes/no response following each letter indicating whether it was the same or different from the letter presented two earlier. The load on working memory was the ordering, retention, updating, and manipulation of 2 letters and consideration of the relationship to a 3rd newly presented letter, which could have been a target or a nontarget. The change from baseline in response latency at endpoint is presented here.

Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C)- Number of Responders at Endpoint
Severity of sleepiness, was assessed by the Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) at Baseline. The clinician assessed the change from baseline in the patient's condition, as related to excessive sleepiness, in response to treatment using the CGI-C, which consisted of the following 7 categories and scoring assignments: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, no change, minimally worse, much worse, and very much worse. Responders had to be at least minimally improved from Baseline to qualify as a responder at Endpoint.

Epworth Sleepiness Scale Change From Baseline to Endpoint
The patient's evaluation of excessive daytime sleepiness was measured by the patient reported measure, ESS (Johns1991). The ESS score was based on responses to questions referring to 8 everyday situations (eg, sitting and reading, talking to someone, being stopped in traffic) and reflected a patient's propensity to fall asleep in those situations. The ESS score was derived from the sum of the values from questions corresponding to the 8 situations. Scores for the ESS ranged from 0 to 24, with a higher score indicating a greater daytime sleepiness. Change from baseline to endpoint is presented.
