NCT07654803
This study aims to evaluate the clinical feasibility of a millimeter-wave radar sleep monitoring system in the diagnosis of Narcolepsy Type 1 (NT1). Narcolepsy is a chronic central nervous system sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness as its core symptom. NT1 is defined by the presence of cataplexy or reduced cerebrospinal fluid hypocretin-1 (Hcrt-1) levels. The current diagnostic gold standard relies on overnight polysomnography (PSG) and the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT); however, conventional methods are limited by complex operation, time-consuming procedures, high patient compliance demands, and poor scalability in primary care settings. This prospective, single-center, concurrent validation study plans to enroll 40 clinically diagnosed NT1 patients. Participants will undergo simultaneous PSG/MSLT and millimeter-wave radar sleep monitoring. Using PSG/MSLT as the gold standard, we will assess the consistency and accuracy of the radar system in identifying core parameters, including mean sleep latency (MSL), sleep-onset rapid eye movement period (SOREMP) count, and sleep architecture, while also evaluating data integrity and patient compliance. Key collected indicators include: demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms, Hcrt-1 levels, HLA genotyping, PSG parameters (total sleep time \[TST\], sleep efficiency \[SE\], sleep latency \[SL\], REM latency, SOREMP, sleep stage proportions, apnea-hypopnea index \[AHI\], periodic limb movement index \[PLMI\]), MSLT parameters (MSL, SOREMP count), and radar system parameters (TST, SL, SE, arousal frequency, etc.). Statistical analysis will be performed using SPSS 23.0. Normally distributed continuous variables will be analyzed using independent samples t-tests, non-normally distributed data using Mann-Whitney U tests, and categorical variables using chi-square tests. The study duration is 7 months (May to December 2026). This research may provide a non-contact, convenient, and cost-effective alternative or supplementary monitoring approach for narcolepsy, promoting the application of outpatient and home-based sleep monitoring.

The project will improve scientific knowledge regarding a recent law applying potentially to every french driver. It will give for the first time an indication on the impact of alerting treatments on driving risks. It will reinforce the links between different research environments (sleep physiopathology, clinical research, cognitive neurosciences, driver's supervision, virtual reality, pharmacology) among the RESAT network (Réseau Eveil Sommeil Attention Transport). It will stimulate data acquisition in technological research to better understand the difference between real and simulated driving
NCT07493265
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the optimal doses of E2086 compared to placebo in participants with narcolepsy for reduction of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) as assessed by Mean Sleep Latency (MSL) (measured from the first 4 maintenance of wakefulness tests \[MWTs\]).
NCT07363720
The main aim of this study is to assess how effective TAK-861 is for treating narcolepsy type 1 and if this effect is maintained over time. Participants will take TAK-861 for a few months and if they meet certain criteria, they will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to continue taking TAK-861 or take placebo (fake medicine) for up to 4 weeks to see if their narcolepsy symptoms return.
NCT06251063
The goal of this study is to test a web-based psychoeducational resource for adolescents with central disorders of hypersomnolence and their families. The investigators hope to assess the website's usability, acceptability, and feasibility, as well as its potential effect on social relationship health. Participants will be asked to review the content of the psychoeducational websites. The participants will then provide feedback on the website, as well as the adolescent's social relationships and social health before and after reviewing the website through online surveys.
NCT06531876
This study intends to examine the utility of a home-use EEG-based sleep monitor for the diagnosis and evaluation of disorders of excessive sleepiness, specifically the neurological disorder Narcolepsy Type 1.
NCT06383806
The purpose of this clinical trial is learn whether a behavioral (non-medication) treatment can reduce nightmares in adults with narcolepsy. All participants will receive the treatment and will complete three assessments. Half of the participants will receive the treatment after the first assessment, and half will receive it after the second assessment. Romantic partners of participants with narcolepsy will also be eligible to enroll in the study. Partners will complete three assessments but will not participate in the treatment.
NCT05816382

NCT06792708
This is an observational study of LUMRYZ prescribed in clinical practice. Patients are asked if they would be willing to complete questionnaires over a 4-month period after starting LUMRYZ. The questionnaires ask about narcolepsy symptoms, experience with LUMRYZ, and quality of life.
NCT06952699
Narcolepsy without cataplexy or Narcolepsy Type 2 (NT2) is a lifelong condition that makes people very sleepy during the day, regardless of how much sleep they get at night. People with NT2 may fall asleep suddenly, have trouble staying awake during the day, or may not be able to sleep well at night. They may have difficulty thinking clearly, paying attention, or remembering things, during the day. These symptoms can make daily activities like driving, working, or caring for their families challenging, impacting their quality of life. Orexin is a chemical made in the brain that helps keep a person awake and alert. TAK-360 acts like orexin. Previous studies have shown that medicines that act like orexin may keep people awake. The main aim of this study is to learn how safe TAK-360 is and how well adults with NT2 tolerate it. Researchers also want to find out if TAK-360 can help people with NT2 stay awake and determine the right dosage needed to do that. Participants will be randomly (by chance, like drawing names from a hat) assigned to get either TAK-360 or placebo in the treatment period. The placebo is a pill that looks just like TAK-360 but does not have any medicine in it. Using a placebo helps researchers learn about the real effect of the treatment.
NCT04806620
The unhide® Project is a non-interventional, longitudinal research study designed to establish a secure data repository of demographic, health, and lifestyle information from individuals with brain inflammation and related neuroinflammatory conditions. Participants in the United States aged 2 years and older will provide self-reported health data, biometrics, and symptom diaries through the MyDataHelps™ app (branded as unhide® for this study). The goal is to create comprehensive longitudinal profiles to facilitate research into disease subtypes, causes, diagnostics, and potential treatments, as well as to identify potential participants for future optional studies. "Healthy" individuals without brain inflammation are also eligible to participate. The digital health research platform used in this study was originally developed and designed by Solve M.E and was called SolveTogether. The Brain Inflammation Collaborative (BIC) expanded upon Solve M.E.'s work to include related diagnoses, pediatric participants, enhance symptom tracking, and more. BIC and Solve M.E. combined Solve Together and unhide®, to create The unhide® Solve Together Unified Platform in 2025.
NCT02799849
A significant weight gain and obesity are observed for most patients with narcolepsy, mainly at the beginning of the disease and narcolepsy in young children. There is no specific study on the population and the consequences of overweight in the lives of these long-term patients. Narcoleptic patients gain weight significantly at the onset of their illness. It is also known that weight gain is not related to the treatment of narcolepsy. The etiology of obesity in narcoleptic patients is not established. Several assumptions were made (physical activity, leptin diet, metabolism). The reason and the pathophysiology of overweight and obesity in this population therefore remain unclear. In this study, potential change in the total metabolism (24h) for narcoleptic children that could explain their tendency to obesity will be assessed ?
NCT07051252
The purpose of this study is to assess the tolerability of HBS-201 when starting at a therapeutic dose in adult participants with narcolepsy.
NCT06292598
Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is a rare disease characterized by severe drowsiness, cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucinations, sleep paralysis, poor night sleep, and often obesity. NT1 is caused by irreversible loss of orexin (ORX)/hypocretin neurons in the lateral hypothalamus with decreased ORX levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Although the underlying process leading to this destruction remains unclear; an autoimmune origin is suspected. The study authors recently compared the bacterial communities of the fecal microbiota of NT1 patients and control subjects. Initial results demonstrated a difference in overall bacterial community structure in NT1 compared to controls, as assessed by beta diversity, even after adjusting for body mass index (BMI). The Shannon biodiversity index was also correlated with the duration of NT1 disease. However, no association was found between the structure of the microbial community and the clinical characteristics of NT1 patients. In 2022, a second study from the SOMNOBANK cohort on a larger population confirmed these results, showing dysbiosis between NT1 patients and the control population. The altered intestinal microbial diversity supports the important role of the environment in the development and pathogenesis of NT1. Other studies have established a link between dysbiosis, intestinal permeability and inflammation in other neuroimmune pathologies. Currently, no study has focused on these phenomena of bacterial translocation, intestinal permeability and immune activation linked to the microbiota in type 1 narcolepsy patients. The study hypothesis is that NT1 patients with dysbiosis in their intestinal microbiota also present a bacterial translocation with an intestinal origin, leading to a systemic inflammatory syndrome favoring an autoimmune damage destroying hypocretin neurons in the hypothalamus. The study authors suspect that microbial elements (DNA) involved in the autoimmune process could be detected in the CSF. This bacterial translocation could vary over time depending on: i) the progression of the disease and its management; ii) changing dysbiosis and: iii) the increase in intestinal permeability and inflammation.
