The primary objective of study was to determine whether armodafinil treatment at a dose of 150 mg/day is more effective than placebo treatment in reducing fatigue in patients receiving taxane chemotherapy alone or in combination with other agents by comparing the change from Screening cycle to treatment cycle (cycle 2) in the patient's average daily rating of their worst fatigue severity during the past 24 hours. In addition, the change in the percentage of days with severe fatigue and the mean Brief Fatigue Inventory scores were to be recorded.
