Abstract
Background: Once-nightly sodium oxybate (LUMRYZ™; ON-SXB; FT218) significantly improved narcolepsy symptoms in the phase 3 REST-ON trial. The objective of this post hoc analysis was to investigate the early efficacy of ON-SXB at weeks 1 (4.5-g dose) and 2 (6-g dose).
Methods: In REST-ON, participants (≥ 16 years) with narcolepsy type 1 or 2 were randomized 1:1 to ON-SXB (4.5 g, 1 week; 6 g, 2 weeks; 7.5 g, 5 weeks; 9 g, 5 weeks) or placebo. Protocol-prespecified efficacy assessments were conducted at weeks 3 (6-g dose), 8 (7.5-g dose), and 13 (9-g dose). A post hoc analysis was conducted to assess the early efficacy of ON-SXB, defined as efficacy at weeks 1 (4.5-g dose) and 2 (6-g dose) on Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score, visual analog scale (VAS) sleep quality, and VAS refreshing nature of sleep. Least squares mean differences (LSMD) in change from baseline to weeks 1 and 2, 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and P values were calculated using mixed-effects models for repeated measures.
Results: In the modified intent-to-treat population (n = 190; ON-SXB, n = 97; placebo, n = 93), baseline ESS scores were 16.6 and 17.5, sleep quality scores were 53.8 and 55.9, and refreshing nature of sleep scores were 46.5 and 49.9 with ON-SXB and placebo, respectively. At week 1 (4.5 g), numerical improvement in ESS score (LSMD [95% CI], - 0.7 [- 1.6 to 0.2]) and significant improvements in sleep quality (3.6 [1.1-6.1]; P < 0.01) and refreshing nature of sleep (3.2 [0.5-5.9]; P < 0.05) were observed with ON-SXB versus placebo. At week 2 (6 g), significant improvements with ON-SXB versus placebo were observed for ESS score (- 1.3 [- 2.4 to - 0.2]; P < 0.02), sleep quality (7.0 [3.8-10.1]; P < 0.001), and refreshing nature of sleep (5.8 [2.3-9.4]; P = 0.001).
Conclusions: ON-SXB improved daytime sleepiness, sleep quality, and refreshing nature of sleep, with observable benefits beginning in the first week of treatment. These data may help clinicians set expectations with patients.
期刊介绍:
CNS Drugs promotes rational pharmacotherapy within the disciplines of clinical psychiatry and neurology. The Journal includes:
- Overviews of contentious or emerging issues.
- Comprehensive narrative reviews that provide an authoritative source of information on pharmacological approaches to managing neurological and psychiatric illnesses.
- Systematic reviews that collate empirical evidence to answer a specific research question, using explicit, systematic methods as outlined by the PRISMA statement.
- Adis Drug Reviews of the properties and place in therapy of both newer and established drugs in neurology and psychiatry.
- Original research articles reporting the results of well-designed studies with a strong link to clinical practice, such as clinical pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies, clinical trials, meta-analyses, outcomes research, and pharmacoeconomic and pharmacoepidemiological studies.
Additional digital features (including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations) can be published with articles; these are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. In addition, articles published in CNS Drugs may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand important medical advances.
