Inclusion criteria: Main Study 1. Male or female subjects between 18 and 70 years of age, inclusive at screening. 2. Have a primary diagnosis of narcolepsy with cataplexy that meets ICSD-3 criteria or DSM-5 criteria, and currently untreated or treated with or without anticataplectics. 3. Have a history of having at least 14 cataplexy attacks in a typical 2-week period and clinically significant symptoms of EDS prior to any narcolepsy treatment. 4.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of JZP-258 in the treatment of cataplexy in subjects with narcolepsy; Secondary Objective: Key Secondary Objective • To evaluate the efficacy of JZP-258 in the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in subjects with narcolepsy. Secondary Objective • To evaluate the safety of JZP-258 in the treatment of subjects with narcolepsy with cataplexy. Exploratory Objective • To characterize the conversion from non-Xyrem anticataplectic treatment regimens to JZP-258 in subjects with narcolepsy with cataplexy. ;Primary end point(s): Change in weekly number of cataplexy attacks from the two weeks of the Stable-Dose Period to the two weeks of the Double-Blind Randomized-Withdrawal Period;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of stable-dose period to end of double- blind randomized-withdrawal period (2 weeks)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Change in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score from the end of the Stable- Dose Period to the end of the Double-Blind Randomized-Withdrawal Period. • PGIc for narcolepsy overall at the end of the Double-Blind Randomized-Withdrawal Period. • CGIc for narcolepsy overall at the end of the Double-Blind Randomized-Withdrawal Period. • Change in QoL (SF-36) from the end of the Stable-Dose Period to the end of the Double-Blind Randomized-Withdrawal Period. • Change in QoL (EuroQol 5 Dimensions Self-Report Questionnaire) from the end of the Stable-Dose Period to the end of the Double-Blind Randomized- Withdrawal Period. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of stable-dose period to end of double-blind randomized-withdrawal period (2 weeks)
