blind individuals with non 24 hour sleep wake disorder


Dear Cathy,



It was very nice to talk to you on the phone today. Thank you for offering
to distribute information about the study we are conducting, which is
testing an experimental treatment for individuals who are blind and suffer
from a sleep disorder known as Non-24 Hour Sleep Wake Disorder, to members
of the NFB of Kentucky. I have copied and pasted the study announcement to
the end of this email. I have also attached an information packet about the
disorder to this email. Please feel free to distribute this information to
anyone who would be interested in this trial.





Below is some additional information about the trial that you can send
around as well:

  a.. The site will arrange and cover the cost for all transportation to and
from the site for participants and guardians. Any other requests for travel
arrangements (ie. guide dogs, hotel) will be accommodated.
  b.. There is compensation for participation in the trial.
  c.. 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 240-599-4535 or by email at
brooke.davis at vandapharma.com. Thanks for all your help.
