Summary

This early-stage study tested an experimental drug called MK-6552 in 9 people with narcolepsy type 1, a condition that causes sudden sleep attacks. The goal was to see if the drug is safe and can help people stay awake during the day. Participants took the drug for a week, and researchers measured how long they could resist falling asleep. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
