Definition of abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; ESS = Epworth Sleepiness Scale; LS = least squares; MWT = Maintenance of Wakefulness Test; PGI-C = Patient Global Impression of Change.

A fixed hierarchical testing procedure was used to correct for multiplicity, starting with the highest solriamfetol dose for the coprimary endpoints and followed by the key secondary endpoint; testing proceeded in that order for each subsequent lower dose, with statistical significance claimed only for those outcomes above the break in the hierarchy.
