Narcolepsy Understanding
Narcolepsy: Overview
Narcolepsy is a rare long-term brain condition that causes a person to suddenly fall asleep at inappropriate times. The brain is unable to regulate sleeping and waking patterns normally, which can result in: excessive daytime sleepiness – feeling very drowsy throughout the day and finding it difficult to concentrate and stay awake, sleep attacks – falling asleep suddenly and without warning, cataplexy – temporary loss of muscle control resulting in weakness and possible collapse, often in response to emotions such as laughter and anger, sleep paralysis – a temporary inability to move or speak when waking up or falling asleep, excessive dreaming and waking in the night – dreams often come as you fall asleep (hypnogogic hallucinations) or just before or during waking (hypnopompic hallucinations). Narcolepsy is often caused by a lack of the brain chemical hypocretin (also known as orexin), which regulates wakefulness. Narcolepsy is a fairly rare condition. It’s difficult to know exactly how many people have narcolepsy because many cases are thought to go unreported. There’s currently no cure for narcolepsy, but making changes to improve sleeping habits and taking medicine can help minimize the impact the condition has on your daily life.

Narcolepsy Emerging Drugs
• FT218: Avadel Pharmaceuticals
FT218 is an investigational, once-nightly formulation of sodium oxybate that includes Avadel’s MicroPump? controlled-release (CR) technology. In December 2020, the Company submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for FT218 to treat excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy in adults with narcolepsy. FT218 has been granted Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of narcolepsy. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for review the Company’s New Drug Application (NDA) for FT218, an investigational, once-nightly formulation of sodium oxybate for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy in adults with narcolepsy. The FDA assigned the NDA a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of October 15, 2021.
• AXS-12: Axsome therapeutics
AXS-12 (reboxetine) is a highly selective and potent norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor being developed for the treatment of narcolepsy. It modulates noradrenergic activity to promote wakefulness, maintain muscle tone and enhance cognition. Reboxetine has an extensive safety record in Europe and in over 40 countries where it’s approved for the treatment of depression. In narcolepsy, AXS-12 is supported by positive pre-clinical and Phase 2 clinical results where it: Improved daytime sleepiness with reduced cataplexy (sudden loss of muscle control) in people with narcolepsy in an open-label pilot trial. AXS-12 has been granted U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Orphan Drug designation for the treatment of narcolepsy. The drug is currently being evaluated in Phase III stage of development.
