Change in Weekly Number of Cataplexy Attacks
Double-blind comparison of the change in weekly number of cataplexy attacks from the last 2 weeks of the Stable Dose Period to the 2 weeks of the Double-blind Treatment Period.
Time frame: From the end of the Stable Dose Period to the end of the Double-blind Treatment Period (2 weeks)
Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIc) for Cataplexy Severity
CGIc for cataplexy severity from the end of the Stable Dose Period to the end of the Double-blind Treatment Period. The CGIc is a 7-point scale ranging from "very much improved" to "very much worse." A score of 0 = no change, a score of 3 = very much improved, and a score of -3 = very much worse.
Time frame: From the end of the Stable Dose Period to the end of the Double-blind Treatment Period (2 weeks)
Change in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) (CHAD) Score
Change in the ESS (CHAD) score from the end of the Stable Dose Period to the end of the Double-blind Treatment Period. The ESS is a self-administered questionnaire with 8 questions. It provides a measure of a person's general level of daytime sleepiness, or their average sleep propensity in daily life. In the ESS for children and adolescents (CHAD), certain activities were modified. Each activity is scored on a scale ranging from 0-3, with 0 = would never fall asleep, and 3 = high chance of falling asleep. The total score ranges from 0-24, with a higher number representing an increased propensity for sleepiness.
Time frame: From the end of the Stable Dose Period to the end of the Double-blind Treatment Period (2 weeks)
CGIc for Narcolepsy Overall
CGIc for narcolepsy overall from the end of the Stable Dose Period to the end of the Double-blind Treatment Period. The CGIc is a 7-point scale ranging from "very much improved" to "very much worse." A score of 0 = no change, a score of 3 = very much improved, and a score of -3 = very much worse.
Time frame: From the end of the Stable Dose Period to the end of the Double-blind Treatment Period (2 weeks)

Change in Quality of Life (QoL; SF-10 Physical and Psychosocial Summary Score) From the End of the Stable Dose Period to the End of the Double-blind Treatment Period
The SF-10 Health Survey for Children is a parent-completed survey that contains 10 questions adapted from the Child Health Questionnaire. The SF-10 is intended to produce physical and psychosocial health summary measures. Each of the 10 questions responses is scored with a point value from 1 to 6 (1 is the worst possible condition and 6 is the best possible condition). The SF-10 physical and psychosocial measures are scored such that higher scores indicate more favorable functioning. The questions and associated point values are separated into the Physical Health (PHS-10 domain) and Psychosocial Health (PSS-10 domain). The sums of the scores in each domain are standardized using the mean and standard deviation from a normal population (2006 sample). The standardized scores are transformed to norm based scoring (NBS) metric. Through NBS, scale scores are standardized to a mean of 50 and SD of 10 in the combined U.S. general population and clinical samples. NBS scores are reported
