Nuvigil shows strong Ph III data in jet lag

8 April 2009

US drugmaker Cephalon has reported positive results from a Phase III trial of Nuvigil (armodafinil) for excessive sleepiness associated with  jet lag, and it will seek to have this indication added to the drug's US  label.

The wakefulness drug was tested over the course of three days in a  randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 427 healthy adults  who had experienced jet lag symptoms during the previous five years.
