Eric Nofzinger Sleep RIA Quote

“There’s flexibility in these measures. Let’s take napping for example. The core measure is based on intentional napping, but it can be modified, as shown in the ontology, to account for unintentional daytime napping. For us at Jazz, this is very important. One of the disorders that we’re really focused on is idiopathic hypersomnia. It’s a disorder in which napping occurs during the daytime, sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally. It causes significant distress and concern for the individuals. We want to make sure that we’re transparent in what we’re measuring and can show a treatment effect with the therapeutics we’ve been creating in a clinical trial setting.”
