Detailed Description:
BF 2.649, a new molecule, reduces significantly the diurnal sleepiness and demonstrated its anti-cataplexy effect in pre-clinical and clinical studies.
The objective of this POC study are firstly to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of escalating doses of BF2.649 and BF2.649 add on Modafinil (200 mg/day) on cataplexy attacks, and secondly to evaluate the additive/synergistic effect and safety of the combination of BF2.649 and Modafinil on EDS as assessed by both of objective and subjective measures including ESS, MWT, patients sleep diary.
