2021 
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of FT218, a once-nightly sodium oxybate (SO) formulation, on excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), self-reported sleep quality/refreshing nature of sleep, sleep paralysis (SP), and hypnagogic hallucinations (HH) in patients with narcolepsy. Background: Twice-nightly SO is an effective treatment for EDS and cataplexy in patients with narcolepsy. FT218 is an investigational once-nightly controlled-release formulation of SO. Design/Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group study in patients with narcolepsy ≥16 years old (randomized, n=212). The 4-period uptitration dosing schedule was as follows: 4.5 g for 1 week, 6 g for 2 weeks, 7.5 g for 5 weeks, and 9 g for 5 weeks (total study duration, 17 weeks). Secondary endpoints included Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), sleep quality/refreshing nature of sleep using a visual analogue scale (VAS), and SP and HH using a sleep symptom diary (SSD). Results: FT218 demonstrated significant (P Conclusions: FT218 demonstrated significant and clinically meaningful results vs placebo at all doses tested for ESS, sleep quality/refreshing nature of sleep, and SP, representing improvement on important narcolepsy symptoms. FT218 was generally well tolerated, and the most common adverse reactions were well-known and established SO adverse reactions.
