An Interventional Safety Switch Study (Segue Study) of XYWAV in Narcolepsy

This is an interventional treatment trial for Narcolepsy Read More

Inclusion Criteria:

Age

1. Participant must be 18 to 80 years of age (inclusive), at the time of signing the informed consent. Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics
2. Participants who have a primary diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 narcolepsy that meets ICSD-3 criteria or DSM-5 criteria (Ruoff and Rye 2016), and are being currently treated with Xyrem, with or without additional anticataplectics or stimulants.

3. Participants who have been taking Xyrem (with or without additional anticataplectics or stimulants eg, TCA, SNRI, SSRI, atomoxetine) in a stable dose and regimen for at least two months prior to screening, with evidence of clinical improvement on their current regimen, per the investigator's judgement. Only Xyrem will be substituted with XYWAV, with dose and regimen of any concomitant anticataplectics or stimulants remaining unchanged throughout the study.

   Sex and Contraceptive/Barrier Requirements

4. Participant is male or female

   • A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and one of the following conditions applies:

     • Is a woman of non-childbearing potential (WONCBP) as defined in Appendix 3 OR
     • Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of < 1% per year), preferably with low user dependency, as described in Appendix 3, during the study Intervention period and for at least 7 days after the last dose of study intervention. The investigator should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure (eg, noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of study intervention.
   • A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (serum) during screening.
   • The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy.
