JZP441 for Sleep Deprivation
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to test the safety and effects of a new drug, JZP441, designed to help with sleep deprivation. Researchers will administer either JZP441 or a placebo (a harmless pill with no active drug) to participants to evaluate its effectiveness and potential side effects. The trial seeks healthy individuals who frequently experience sleep deprivation but do not have chronic insomnia or sleep apnea. Participants should not have major health conditions and should not currently experience depression or other psychiatric disorders. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, and participants will be among the first to receive this new drug.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, since the study is for healthy participants without certain medical conditions, it's possible that you may need to pause some medications. Please consult with the trial coordinators for specific guidance.
Is there any evidence suggesting that JZP441 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that JZP441 is being tested for safety in individuals who don't get enough sleep. As these studies are just beginning, the primary goal is to determine if healthy individuals can take the treatment without issues. Although information is limited, this early phase typically identifies any side effects or reactions to the drug.
JZP441 is also under development for other conditions, such as narcolepsy, indicating some confidence in its safety. However, researchers are still studying its safety for sleep-deprived individuals. The trial is closely monitored to ensure participant safety during treatment.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Most treatments for sleep deprivation focus on improving sleep quality or increasing sleep duration. However, JZP441 is unique because it targets the brain's wakefulness pathways directly. This approach could potentially improve alertness and cognitive function without the need for more sleep, offering a novel solution for those who struggle with sleep deprivation. Researchers are excited about JZP441 because it could offer faster results and a new mechanism of action compared to traditional sleep aids, which mainly work by inducing sleep rather than enhancing wakefulness.
What evidence suggests that JZP441 might be an effective treatment for sleep deprivation?
Research has shown that JZP441 is being studied for its ability to help people stay awake. In this trial, participants will receive either JZP441 or a placebo at random. Although testing for sleep deprivation is still in its early stages, JZP441 has shown promise in treating narcolepsy, a condition that also affects sleep. In a study involving people with narcolepsy, JZP441 significantly improved alertness and reduced excessive sleepiness compared to those who took a placebo (a pill with no active medicine). These findings suggest that JZP441 might help with sleep-related problems and could benefit those who are sleep-deprived. However, more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness specifically for sleep deprivation.13467
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Healthy adults aged 18-50 can join this trial. They must pass a medical exam, including lab tests and heart monitoring, and not be pregnant or nursing. People with kidney issues, abnormal ECGs, significant allergies, mental health disorders like bipolar or schizophrenia, certain infections (HIV/hepatitis), chronic insomnia, major cardiovascular diseases or those who've recently been in other drug/device trials cannot participate.Exclusion Criteria

Trial Overview
The study is testing JZP441 against a placebo in sleep-deprived healthy people to see how safe it is and how the body reacts to different doses at night. It's a Phase 1 trial where participants are randomly assigned to get either the real drug or a fake pill without knowing which one they're taking.
