About this study

The main purpose of this study is to find out how many people in Spain have been diagnosed with narcolepsy type 1 and type 2, and how many new participants are diagnosed each year. Narcolepsy is a rare sleep disorder that causes excessive daytime sleepiness. The researchers will look at medical records from hospitals across Spain to count participants with these conditions and understand patterns in diagnosis over time.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Core Group: Prevalence of Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Population

    The overall study prevalence will be calculated as the number of participants diagnosed with NT1 and NT2 from all public hospitals reporting cases divided by number of people living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study prevalence fraction. The study prevalence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall prevalence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  2. Core Group: Prevalence of Adult Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Adult Population

    The overall study prevalence will be calculated as the number of adult participants diagnosed with NT1 and NT2 from all public hospitals reporting cases divided by number of adult people living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study prevalence fraction. The study prevalence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall prevalence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  3. Core Group: Prevalence of Paediatric/Adolescent Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Paediatric/Adolescent Population

    The overall study prevalence will be calculated as number of diagnosed paediatric/adolescent participants from all public hospitals divided by number of paediatric/adolescent living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study prevalence fraction. The study prevalence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall prevalence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  4. Core Group: Prevalence of Male Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Male Population

    The overall study prevalence will be calculated as the number of male participants diagnosed with NT1 and NT2 from all public hospitals reporting cases divided by number of males living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study prevalence fraction. The study prevalence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall prevalence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  5. Core Group: Prevalence of Female Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Females Population

    The overall study prevalence will be calculated as the number of female participants diagnosed with NT1 and NT2 from all public hospitals reporting cases divided by number of females living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study prevalence fraction. The study prevalence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall prevalence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  6. Core Group: Incidence of NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Population

    The incidence for both the years will be calculated as (average of both years).

The study incidence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall incidence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  7. Core Group: Incidence of NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Adult Population

    The incidence for both the years will be calculated as (average of both years) and for each year, the number of adult participants diagnosed for the first time from all hospitals divided by number of adults living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study incidence fraction. The study incidence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall incidence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  8. Core Group: Incidence of Paediatric/Adolescent NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Paediatric/Adolescent Population

    The incidence for both the years will be calculated as (average of both years) and for each year, the number of paediatric/adolescent participants diagnosed for the first time from all hospitals divided by number of paediatric/adolescent living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study incidence fraction. The study incidence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall incidence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  9. Core Group: Incidence of Male NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Male Population

    The incidence for both the years will be calculated as (average of both years) and for each year, the number of male participants diagnosed for the first time from all hospitals divided by number of male participants living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study incidence fraction. The study incidence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall incidence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  10. Core Group: Incidence of Female NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Female Population

    The incidence for both the years will be calculated as (average of both years) and for each year, the number of female participants diagnosed for the first time from all hospitals divided by number of female participants living in the areas served by these hospitals resulting in a study incidence fraction. The study incidence fraction will be then extrapolated to the Spanish population to estimate the standardized overall incidence of NT1 and NT2 in Spain.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Narcolepsy Type 1 and Narcolepsy Type 2, run by Takeda at 10 sites in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Core Group: Prevalence of Participants With NT1 and NT2 per 100,000 Population (time frame: Up to 1 year). The study lists 11 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Oct 2026.
