    Patient and healthcare provider surveys of narcolepsy disease burden and oxybate treatment experience (Concourse / Mezzanine) -  Feb 26, 2022 - Abstract #WSS2022WSS_845;    
    While both individuals with narcolepsy and HCPs had moderate-to-high satisfaction with current narcolepsy treatment options, unmet needs remain regarding aspects of treatment such as dosing frequency. If approved, ON-SXB may address a significant unmet need in eliminating the middle-of-the-night dose.

    Solriamfetol and Modafinil Ameliorate Excessive Sleepiness in Mice Exposed to Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia (Room 2022/2024 (West Building, Level 2), Moscone Center) -  Feb 19, 2022 - Abstract #ATS2022ATS_2121;    
    SOL, but not MOD, significantly improves SF-induced NOR deficits, but has no effects on EPMT performance. Chronic IH mimicking OSA induces EDS in young adult mice that is ameliorated by SOL and MOD, with SOL exhibiting equivalent efficacy to MOD as a wake-promoting agent

    Solriamfetol and Modafinil Mitigate Chronic Sleep Fragmentation-Induced Increases in Sleep Propensity (Room 2022/2024 (West Building, Level 2), Moscone Center) -  Feb 19, 2022 - Abstract #ATS2022ATS_2119;    
    However, SOL, but not MOD, markedly improved NOR performance with modest effects on anxiety. Chronic SF, a major hallmark of OSA, induces EDS in young adult mice that is mitigated by SOL and MOD, with SOL displaying comparable efficacy to MOD as a wake-promoting agent

    Preclinical, Journal:  Pitolisant, a wake-promoting agent devoid of psychostimulant properties: Preclinical comparison with amphetamine, modafinil, and solriamfetol. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 15, 2022   
    Therefore, pitolisant presents biochemical, neurochemical, and behavioral profiles different from those of amphetamine and other psychostimulants such as modafinil or solriamfetol. In conclusion, pitolisant is a differentiated therapeutic option, when compared with psychostimulants, for the treatment of EDS, as this agent does not show any amphetamine-like properties within in vivo preclinical models.

    Journal:  Enantioseparation of solriamfetol and its major impurity phenylalaninol by capillary electrophoresis using sulfated gamma cyclodextrin. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 10, 2022   
    The optimized method (45 mM Tris-acetate buffer, pH = 4.5, 4 mM S-?-CD, 21°C, + 19.5 kV) was capable for the baseline separation of solriamfetol and phenylalaninol enantiomers within 7 min. The optimized method was validated according to the ICH guidelines and successfully applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical preparation (Sunosi 75 mg tablet), thus it may serve as a routine procedure for the laboratories of regulatory authorities as well as in Pharmacopoeias.

    Review, Journal:  Idiopathic Hypersomnia and Other Hypersomnia Syndromes. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 16, 2021   
    The level of evidence for the treatment of sleepiness in these disorders is generally lower than in the well-characterized syndrome of narcolepsy, but available clinical and randomized, controlled trial data can provide guidance for the management of each of these disorders. Treatments vary by diagnosis but may include modafinil/armodafinil, traditional psychostimulants, solriamfetol, pitolisant, clarithromycin, flumazenil, sodium oxybate, melatonin, methylprednisolone, and lithium.

    Treatments vary by diagnosis but may include modafinil/armodafinil, traditional psychostimulants, solriamfetol, pitolisant, clarithromycin, flumazenil, sodium oxybate, melatonin, methylprednisolone, and lithium. The management of narcolepsy involves non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches with an increasing number of symptomatic treatment options for adults and children that have been studied in some detail.

    There were no significant improvements on ESS; MWT results suggest possible benefit with solriamfetol in PD. The management of narcolepsy involves non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches with an increasing number of symptomatic treatment options for adults and children that have been studied in some detail.

    CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: These real-world data indicate that physicians prescribing solriamfetol for EDS associated with OSA often start solriamfetol at 37.5 or 75 mg/d and most patients reach stable doses of 75 or 150 mg/d. Not yet recruiting --> Recruiting

    Clinical, Review, Journal:  Drugs for patients with epilepsy and excessive daytime sleepiness. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 18, 2021   
    Several meta-analyses suggested that lamotrigine, lacosamide, and perhaps eslicarbazepine are less sedative than other traditional and new ASMs and, in patients prone to somnolence, might be preferred over ASMs with more sedative properties...Methylphenidate, modafinil, armodafinil, pitolisant, and solriamfetol are authorized for use in ADHD and EDS in patients with narcolepsy and some of them also in OSAS...The risks of cardiovascular events and psychiatric symptoms should be carefully evaluated as such disorders can coexist with epilepsy and be triggered by these agents. Finally, combination of psychostimulants with ASMs may be associated with several pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions.

    Clinical, Journal:  Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Mechanisms and Clinical Management. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 20, 2021   
    Agents that inhibit reuptake of dopamine or of dopamine and norepinephrine (modafinil/armodafinil and solriamfetol, respectively) have demonstrated efficacy in reducing EDS and improving quality of life in patients with OSA. Additional research is needed on the effects of wake-promoting treatments on cognition in these patients and to identify individual or disorder-specific responses.

    Clinical, Review, Journal:  Update on the pharmacologic management of narcolepsy: mechanisms of action and clinical implications. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 22, 2021   
    Medications approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of EDS in narcolepsy include traditional stimulants (eg, amphetamines, methylphenidate), wake-promoting agents (eg, modafinil, armodafinil), and solriamfetol, which mainly act on dopaminergic and noradrenergic pathways...Pitolisant, a histamine 3 (H)-receptor antagonist/inverse agonist, is approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of narcolepsy with or without cataplexy in adults and by the FDA for the treatment of EDS in adults with narcolepsy...In many patients with narcolepsy, combination treatment with medications that act via different neural pathways is necessary for optimal symptom management. Mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, and abuse potential are important considerations in treatment selection and subsequent medication adjustments to maximize efficacy and mitigate adverse effects in the treatment of patients with narcolepsy.
  • ||||||||||  Review, Journal:  Recently Approved and Upcoming Treatments for Narcolepsy. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 10, 2021   
    Several new agents are being developed and tested as potential treatments for EDS and cataplexy associated with narcolepsy; these agents include novel oxybate formulations (once-nightly [FT218]; low sodium [JZP-258]), a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (AXS-12), and a product combining modafinil and an astroglial connexin inhibitor (THN102). This review summarises the mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety/tolerability of recently approved and emerging treatments for narcolepsy.
