Does Xyrem Influence Brain Dopamine in Patients With Narcolepsy? A PET Imaging Investigation
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Xyrem for Narcolepsy With Cataplexy and Healthy Controls. Completed, enrolled 17 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overall aim of this investigation is to establish whether an action of Xyrem® on the brain dopamine system in patients with narcolepsy, and in a comparison control group, might explain part of the anti-narcoleptic effect of the drug. Trial Objective is to establish, using positron emission tomography (PET), in Xyrem®-naïve narcolepsy with cataplexy patients, and in matched controls, whether a single dose of Xyrem® causes changes in striatal binding of 11C-raclopride and 11C-DTBZ that would suggest altered activity of brain dopamine neurones.
