Armodafinil

Patients were randomly assigned to begin oral treatment with armodafinil, which was titrated to 150 mg/day (3 tablets). Armodafinil was titrated up to the target dosage of 150 mg/day (daily dose was administered each morning). Patients began taking blinded armodafinil at a dose of 50 mg/day (1 tablet) on the day following the baseline visit. Doses were increased by 50 mg/day (1 tablet) to a dose of 100 mg/day on Day 2 and 3, and then again by 50 mg /day on day 4 for a target dose of 150 mg/day. Following titration, patients continued taking 150 mg/day of armodafinil for the duration of the study. If a patient was unable to tolerate (recurrent or persistent adverse events) the study drug, 1 reduction in dosage (ie, minimum dosage 100 mg/day \[2 tablets\]) was allowed. The dosage could not be increased after it was decreased.

DRUG

Placebo

Patients were randomly assigned to begin oral treatment with placebo, which was titrated to 3 tablets. Placebo tablets matching the 50 mg armodafinil tablet were used in a manner identical to that of the armodafinil tablets. Study drug was titrated up to the target dosage of 3 tablets / day (daily dose was administered each morning). Patients began taking blinded study drug at a dose of 1 tablet daily on the day following the baseline visit. Doses were increased by 1 tablet to a dose of 2 tablets/day on Day 2 and 3, and then again by 1 tablet /day on day 4 for a target dose of 3 tablets/day. Following titration, patients continued taking 3 tablets/day of study drug for the duration of the study. If a patient was unable to tolerate (recurrent or persistent adverse events) the study drug, 1 reduction in dosage (ie, minimum dosage 2 tablets/day) was allowed. The dosage could not be increased after it was decreased.
