What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is a Phase 3, multi-center, open-label study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of solriamfetol in the treatment of binge eating disorder (BED) in adults.

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if there has been a significant change in your medications since the previous study, it might affect your eligibility.

Is solriamfetol safe for humans?

The study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of solriamfetol, a drug that affects brain chemicals, for treating binge eating disorder, but specific safety data from this study is not provided in the available information. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug Solriamfetol for treating binge eating disorder?

Solriamfetol is being studied for its potential to help with binge eating disorder because it affects dopamine and norepinephrine, chemicals in the brain that are also targeted by other drugs like lisdexamfetamine, which has shown positive results in reducing binge eating episodes. ^{1 6 7 8 9}

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults with Binge Eating Disorder (BED) who are looking to participate in a study evaluating the long-term safety and effectiveness of a medication called Solriamfetol. Specific eligibility criteria details were not provided.

Published Research Related to This Trial

This study is the first randomized, double-blind trial assessing the efficacy and safety of solriamfetol, a novel dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, in treating binge eating disorder (BED) over a 12-week period with 64 participants.

The primary outcome measured is the frequency of binge-eating days, which will help determine how effective solriamfetol is compared to a placebo in reducing binge eating behaviors.

Study protocol and rationale for a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of solriamfetol to treat binge eating disorder. Guerdjikova, AI., Romo-Nava, F., Blom, TJ., et al.[2021]

In a 10-week study involving 60 participants with binge eating disorder, armodafinil showed a significant reduction in binge eating episode frequency compared to placebo, although both groups had similar improvements in binge eating day frequency.

Armodafinil also led to significant reductions in obsessive-compulsive features and body mass index (BMI), with no serious adverse events reported, suggesting it may be a safe option for treating BED, though further research with larger samples is needed.

Armodafinil in binge eating disorder: a randomized, placebo-controlled trial. McElroy, SL., Guerdjikova, AI., Mori, N., et al.[2022]

In a study involving 745 adults with moderate to severe binge eating disorder, treatment with lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (LDX) significantly reduced binge eating days per week and improved obsessive-compulsive symptoms related to binge eating, with consistent results across different genders and age groups.

While LDX was effective, it was also associated with a higher frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events, including increases in blood pressure and pulse, indicating the need for monitoring during treatment.
