Consent to use a medically acceptable method of contraception 5. Willing and able to provide written informed consent Major

Exclusion criteria

1. Female subjects who are pregnant, nursing, or lactating. 2. Any other clinically relevant medical, behavioral, or psychiatric disorder other than OSA that is associated with excessive sleepiness 3. History or presence of bipolar disorder, bipolar related disorders, schizophrenia, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, or other psychotic disorders according to DSM-5 criteria 4.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT)Week 4 to Week 6Change in the mean sleep latency time as determined from the first four trials of a 40-minute MWT from the end of the Stable Dose Phase to the end of the Double-blind Withdrawal Phase. Mean sleep latency defined as the average of the first four MWT trial's measurements.
Change in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)Week 4 to Week 6Change in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score from the end of the Stable Dose Phase to the end of the Double-blind Withdrawal Phase. A negative change from baseline represents improvement in excessive sleepiness. The ESS is a self-administered questionnaire with 8 questions. Each activity is scored on a scale ranging from 0-3, with 0 = would never fall asleep, and 3 = high chance of falling asleep. The total score ranges from 0-24, with a higher number representing an increased propensity for sleepiness. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used for the analysis of ESS scores. The response variable was the change in ESS score from week 4 to week 6.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIc)Week 4 to Week 6Percentage of subjects reported as worse (minimally, much, or very much) on the PGIc at the end of the Double-blind Withdrawal Phase. PGIc was rated by subjects and measures the change in their condition since treatment starts on a 7-point scale ranging from 1= very much improved to 7= very much worse.
Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIc)Week 4 to Week 6Percentage of subjects reported as worse (minimally, much, or very much) on the CGIc at the end of the Double-blind Withdrawal Phase. CGIc was rated by clinicians and measures the change in the subject's condition since treatment starts on a 7-point scale ranging from 1= very much improved to 7= very much worse.
Change in Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ-10)Week 4 to Week 6Change is total score from the end of the stable dose phase to the end of the double blind withdrawal phase. Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire Short Version (FOSQ-10) is a 10-item disease-specific quality of life questionnaire to assess the effect of excessiveness sleepiness on multiple activities of everyday living. The FOSQ-10 consists of 10 questions, each scored on a scale from 1-4. The questionnaire has a 4-point response format for each question (1 = extreme difficulty, 2 = moderate difficulty, 3 = a little difficulty, and 4 = no difficulty). The total score is derived by the mean of the 5 subscale scores, multiplied by 5, resulting in a possible range of scores between 5 to 20; lower FOSQ-10 scores are worse, indicating more difficulty carrying out activities; higher FOSQ-10 scores are better, indicating less difficulty carrying out activities.

Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

Following screening, subjects entered the Titration phase. Subjects who were titrated to an efficacious and tolerable dose in the Titration phase remained on the same dose regimen in the Stable-Dose phase. Subjects in the Double-Blind Withdrawal phase who did not receive JZP-110 received placebo for 2 weeks.
