- Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) [ Time Frame: Change from baseline in the mean MWT score at Day 14 ]Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) is an objective test of sleepiness that evaluates a person's ability to remain awake under soporific conditions for a defined period of time. In the MWT, time from start of the test to the time point of falling asleep will be measured, the total score can range from 0 - 30 minutes. Higher values represent a better outcome.
- Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) [ Time Frame: Change from baseline in the mean CGI-S score at Day 14 ]The Clinical Global Impressions of Severity (CGI-S) scale is used to rate the severity of the patient's illness by clinician, on a 7-point scale with score ranging from 1 - 7. Higher values represent a worse outcome.
- Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) [ Time Frame: Change from baseline in the mean total ESS score at Day 14 ]The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a patient-reported questionnaire consisting of 8 questions. Each of the items are rated on a 4-point scale (0-3), based on the usual chances of dozing off or falling asleep while engaged in eight different activities. The total ESS score (the sum of 8 item scores, 0-3) can range from 0 to 24. Higher values represent a worse outcome.
