We have been asked to circulate the following:

Dave


Again, Thank you for offering to distribute 
information about the study we are conducting 
that is testing an experimental treatment for 
individuals who are blind and suffer from a sleep 
disorder known as Non-24 Hour Sleep Wake Disorder 
in the Chicago area. I have copied and pasted the 
announcement below and attached it and the 
information packet about this disorder to this 
email. You can also read more about the drug on 
clinical trials.gov. The link to this website is 
as follows: 
<http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01163032?term=vanda&rank=2>http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01163032?term=vanda&rank=2. 




A few things to note about this trial:
    * The site will arrange and cover the cost 
for all transportation to and from the site for 
participants and guardians. Any other necessary 
travel arrangements (ie. guide dogs, hotel) will be accommodated.
    * There is compensation for participation in the trial.
    * Please note that it is possible that some 
people may report having some light perception, 
but also have sleep issues (e.g.  trouble falling 
asleep, trouble staying asleep, daytime 
sleepiness, etc.); we would encourage these 
people to call the 1800 number on the 
announcement, as it is still possible that they could qualify for the trial.



  We really appreciate you helping us spread the 
word about this clinical trial. If you have any 
questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to 
contact me by phone at 240-599-4517 by email at

Thank you so much for all your help.
