Early Shift Work Disorder Study (NEJM Evidence)
NEJM Evidence

Solriamfetol significantly improved sleepiness compared with placebo in early-morning shift workers with Shift Work Disorder.

We evaluated the efficacy of solriamfetol for treating excessive sleepiness in early-morning shift workers with shift work disorder. In this randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 78 participants, solriamfetol significantly improved wakefulness on the maintenance of wakefulness test (9.4-minute increase in sleep latency, 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.7 to 13.0; P<0.001) and reduced subjective sleepiness with consistent improvements across clinician- and patient-reported measures.

Results of the Solriamfetol's Effect on Cognitive Health in Apnea Participants During a Randomized Placebo-Controlled Study (SHARP)

We evaluated solriamfetol’s effect on cognitive function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and excessive daytime sleepiness. In this randomized crossover trial of 59 participants, solriamfetol significantly improved cognitive performance (DSST; effect size 0.37) compared to placebo, with consistent improvements in subjective cognition, sleepiness, and global severity.
