New hope for chronic sleepiness: phase 3 drug trial launches
NCT ID NCT07500090
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called HBS-301 to see if it can reduce symptoms of idiopathic hypersomnia, a condition causing severe daytime sleepiness, trouble waking up, and fatigue. About 248 adults with moderate to very severe symptoms will receive either the drug or a placebo for several weeks, followed by an open-label phase where everyone gets the drug. The goal is to measure changes in sleepiness and overall symptom severity.
