Change From Baseline (Day -1) in Overall Lane Position Variability (LPV) on Day 16 (Tmax)
Lane position variability (LPV) was defined as the standard deviation of lane position, and was measured from the center line of the 26 foot wide 2-lane paved road to the center of the vehicle. Change from baseline in overall LPV was calculated as the Day 16 mean LPV over the 1-hour drive minus the Baseline mean LPV over the 1-hour drive. The Day 16 measurement is at the time of maximum concentration (Tmax) for both GEn and DPH.
Time frame: Baseline (Day -1) and Day 16

Change From Baseline (Day -1) to Day 14 (Evening) and Day 16 (at Tmax) and Change From Baseline (Day 1) to Day 15 (Morning After Dose) in the Alertness Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score
Alertness VAS was completed immediately before and after each simulated driving assessment. Participants indicated their alertness by marking a vertical line on a horizontal scale anchored by responses "extremely sleepy" and "extremely alert." VAS score was determined by measuring the distance in millimeters (mm) from the left hand end of the line to the point the participant marked. Scores ranged from 0-100 mm, with higher scores indicating more alertness and lower scores indicating more sleepiness. Change score was calculated as the Day 14, 15, or 16 VAS score minus the Baseline VAS score.
