Summary:
The Sparkle 2001 Study for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Excessive daytime sleepiness associated with obstructive sleep apnea presents daily challenges and frustrations. You may struggle with activities that others take for granted, such as working, driving, and watching television. Even spending time with family and friends can be difficult when you’re constantly fighting to stay awake.
Further research is essential to learn more about treating sleep disorders. More treatment options are needed so they can be effective for more people.
What is the purpose of the Sparkle 2001 Study?
This clinical study is testing an investigational drug (TAK-925) to see if it could potentially be a safe and effective way to help increase wakefulness for people with obstructive sleep apnea who experience excessive daytime sleepiness.
