What this trial studies

This Phase 3 trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of solriamfetol in treating adults with binge eating disorder (BED). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either solriamfetol at doses of 150 mg or 300 mg, or a placebo, once daily for 12 weeks. The study aims to determine how well solriamfetol works in reducing binge eating episodes and improving overall symptoms associated with BED. Eligible participants must meet specific diagnostic criteria and provide informed consent before joining the trial.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 55 who have a primary diagnosis of binge eating disorder as per DSM-5 criteria.

Not a fit: Patients who have previously been treated with solriamfetol or those deemed medically inappropriate for participation will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly reduce binge eating episodes and improve the quality of life for patients with BED.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel in the context of BED, similar studies have shown promise in using pharmacological interventions for eating disorders.
