Summary:
Recruiting Participants for the ENGAGE Binge Eating Disorder Research Study
What is the ENGAGE binge eating disorder research study?
The ENGAGE study is a clinical research study currently being conducted at select centers in the US. The study is for people aged 18 to 55 who are living with binge eating disorder and experiencing at least two binge episode per week for the last six months*. The ENGAGE study is evaluating an oral investigational medication (solriamfetol) in adults with Binge Eating Disorder (BED). Solriamfetol is approved by the FDA for people who have excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which are sleep-related disorders. Solriamfetol is an investigational treatment for BED, meaning it has not yet been approved by any health authority for the treatment of BED. *Other criteria also apply.
