Why NCT07582458 is a hot trial to watch

Fatigue is being segmented by mechanism, treatment setting, geography and endpoint architecture. NCT07582458 is notable because it evaluates Modafinil in a Phase 2/3 design sponsored by Radboud University Medical Center. The main development question is whether the protocol can translate its rationale into a clinically interpretable and operationally credible readout.

Trial landscape snapshot

Protocol design and endpoint interpretation

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if modafinil can treat severe fatigue in adults aged 18 to 75 years with quiescent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does modafinil reduce fatigue more effectively than placebo, as measured by the mean difference in section I of the IBD-F questionnaire at week 8? Is modafinil safe and well tolerated in patients with quiescent IBD and severe fatigue? Researchers will compare modafinil to placebo to see if modafinil improves fatigue outcomes. Participants will: attend one screening visit including assessment of disease activity, blood tests, stool testing, and an ECG; take modafinil or placebo for 8 weeks, starting at 100 mg daily with possible dose increases based on response and tolerability; complete online questionnaires at baseline, week 4, week 8, and week 12 about fatigue, quality of life, sleep, mood, and work productivity; be contacted regularly

Allocation is Randomized, masking is Single, and the intervention model is Parallel Assignment. Planned enrollment of [object Object] participants across Not reported in the indexed record shapes statistical precision, execution risk and external validity. Interpretation should account for baseline risk, prior therapy, assessment schedule, missing-data handling and clinical relevance—not only statistical significance.

• The mean difference in section I of the IBD-F questionnaire at week 8 (at week 8 (end of treatment)) — Fatigue severity will be assessed using section I of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease-Fatigue (IBD-F) questionnaire, a patient-reported measure of fatigue in people with inflammatory bowel disease. Section I is used to assess the severity of fatigue symptoms. Scores on section I range from 0 to 20, with higher scores indicating more severe fatigue. The outcome is the between-group difference in IBD-F section I score at

Readout outlook and evidence gap

The current protocol points to [object Object] as the best available readout proxy. Because this is an active or newly posted study, a trial-specific result citation is not included until a normalized clinical-trial-result record becomes available. That gap is itself operationally important: teams should monitor first result indexing, conference abstracts, protocol amendments and changes to the primary-completion date.

Asset and sponsor context

Drug & Asset MCP profile: Modafinil is indexed as Small molecule drug, with target DAT, mechanism DAT antagonists, and global highest development status Approved.

Company & Deal Intelligence MCP profile: Radboud University Medical Center is resolved to a normalized organization record in Netherlands. The organization workflow adds identity, location, portfolio and partnering context where available.

The sponsor profile matters because scientific rationale alone does not determine development value. Manufacturing readiness, portfolio fit, geographic reach, partnering capacity and the ability to fund confirmatory development can determine whether a positive signal becomes a competitive asset.

White space around this program

• Sharper patient selection: prospective biomarker or phenotype definitions that identify who is most likely to benefit.
• Clinically interpretable endpoints: outcomes connecting activity with function, symptoms, survival or treatment burden.
• Comparator relevance: evidence against the most decision-relevant contemporary standard of care.
• Broader external validity: evidence across additional geographies, demographic groups and real-world settings.
• Operational differentiation: a development path that closes the readout gap without sacrificing safety or durability.

What to monitor next

Monitor recruitment, enrollment changes, protocol amendments, endpoint hierarchy, primary-completion timing, first result indexing, asset ownership and sponsor partnerships. A change in endpoint, population or ownership can alter the probability of success before a headline data release.

Bottom line

NCT07582458 provides a focused lens on Fatigue development. Its value will be determined by whether Modafinil can convert the current Phase 2/3 design into evidence that is clinically meaningful, operationally credible and differentiated from competing programs.
