New pill mimics brain chemical to fight daytime sleepiness
NCT ID NCT06952699
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug called TAK-360 for people with narcolepsy type 2, a condition that causes severe daytime sleepiness. The drug acts like a natural brain chemical (orexin) that helps keep people awake. About 88 adults will receive either TAK-360 or a placebo to see if the drug is safe and can improve alertness.
