Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Is 18 to 75 years of age (inclusive) at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF) * Has a primary diagnosis of IH meeting International Classification of Sleep Disorders, Third Edition (ICSD-3) criteria or narcolepsy (Type 1 or Type 2) meeting ICSD-3 or Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V) criteria. * If not currently taking oxybate medication, has clinically significant symptoms of Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) with an ESS score \> 10 at Screening Visit 1. If currently taking oxybate medication, has an ESS score \> 10 at the Baseline Visit 2 polysomnography (after washout period). Note: Not applicable for participants entering the Narcolepsy \>9-gram cohort (see additional criteria below for the Narcolepsy \>9-gram cohort). * If currently treated with anticataplectics and/or alerting agents, has been taking the same dosage for at least 1 month prior to Screening Visit 1 and has no current plans to adjust the dosage during the study period. Note: Alerting agents refer to either traditional stimulants (eg, amphetamines, methylphenidates) or wake-promoting agents (eg, modafinil, pitolisant, solriamfetol). Additional Inclusion Criteria for Participants in the Exploratory Narcolepsy \>9-Gram Cohort * Is on a current treatment regimen including XYWAV at a dosage of 9 grams Key

Exclusion criteria

* Shows evidence of a previous untreated or inadequately treated sleep disorder considered by the investigator to negatively impact the conduct of the study, including sleep-disordered breathing, parasomnias, circadian rhythm sleep disorders, or restless legs syndrome determined by a previous sleep-laboratory diagnosis or interview utilizing modules of the Diagnostic Interview for Sleep Patterns and Disorders. * Shows evidence of untreated or inadequately treated sleep-disordered breathing during Baseline Visit 2 polysomnography defined as an Apnea/Hypopnea Index (AHI) \> 10, using the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services rules (CMS.gov). * Has a history or presence of any unstable or clinically significant medical condition (chronic pain condition that may impact sleep), behavioral or psychiatric disorder (including active suicidal ideation or current or past \[within 1 year\] major depressive episode), or history or presence of another neurologic disorder or surgical history that might affect the participant's safety and/or interfere with the conduct of the study, in the opinion of the investigator. * Has recently taken (ie, within 1 month prior to screening), is taking, or plans to take any of the following: * A substance or medication contraindicated with XYWAV use, ie. specifically alcohol and sedative hypnotics * A medication with a known drug-drug interaction with XYWAV * A medication that may have similar EEG effects to XYWAV * Medications known to have clinically significant CNS sedative effects * Other medications, natural health products, or substances from which the participant experiences clinically significant sedation Additional Exclusion Criterion for Participants in the Exploratory Narcolepsy \>9-Gram Cohort • Any past or current medical conditions or experience that, in the investigator's clinical judgment, would preclude further increases in the current oxybate medication dosage beyond 9 grams

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) Total Score in Participants With IH and Narcolepsy Treated With XYWAVBaseline up to End of Treatment (approximately 10-36 weeks)The ESS total score (the sum of 8 item scores, each 0 to 3) can range from 0 to 24. Higher ESS total scores are associated with higher sleep propensity in daily life, also referred to as "daytime sleepiness."

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Idiopathic Hypersomnia Severity Scale (IHSS) Total Score in Participants With IH Treated With XYWAVBaseline up to End of Treatment (approximately 10-21 weeks)The IHSS is a 14-item self-reported instrument that assesses the severity and functional consequences of IH symptoms. Questions capture symptoms of excessive sleepiness, sleep inertia, and long sleep duration. IHSS total scores range from 0 to 50 with higher score indicating worse clinical outcome.
Change From Baseline in Number of Stage Shifts of Sleep in Participants With Narcolepsy Treated With XYWAVBaseline up to End of Treatment (approximately 10-36 weeks)Stage shifts of sleep are defined as the count of transitions of bouts of sleep from deeper to lighter stages of sleep/wake (ie from N3/N2/N1/REM to wake and from N3/N2/REM to N1).
Change From Baseline in Duration of Sleep Stages in Participants With Narcolepsy Treated With XYWAVBaseline up to End of Treatment (approximately 10-36 weeks)Duration of sleep stages is measured in minutes (ie N1/N2/N3/REM) and is recorded from sleep onset to awakening during the nocturnal polysomnograph.
Change From Baseline in Number of Nocturnal Awakenings and Nocturnal Arousals in Participants With Narcolepsy Treated With XYWAVBaseline up to End of Treatment (approximately 10-36 weeks)
Change From Baseline in Percentage of Sleep Stages in Participants With Narcolepsy Treated With XYWAVBaseline up to End of Treatment (approximately 10-36 weeks)The percentage of sleep stages is measured as minutes of each sleep stage (N3/N2/N1/REM) per hour of sleep time from sleep onset to awakening in the nocturnal polysomnograph.
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) in Participants With IH and Narcolepsy Treated With XYWAV (Overall, Sleep Inertia, and Fatigue)End of Treatment (approximately 10-36 weeks)The PGI-C is a single-item 7-point, Likert-type scale for rating change in disease or symptom severity. Responses for each question ranged from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse) relative to baseline. Participants rated the change from baseline in their overall (IH or narcolepsy) symptoms, sleep inertia (difficulty waking in the morning), and fatigue (extreme tiredness resulting from mental or physical exertion).
Level of Rested or Refreshed Upon Awakening in Participants With IH and Narcolepsy Treated With XYWAV (Sleep Diary)Baseline up to End of Treatment (approximately 10-36 weeks)The participant was asked "How rested or refreshed did you feel when you woke up for the day?"
Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) Score in Participants With IH and Narcolepsy Treated With XYWAV (Overall, Sleep Inertia, and Fatigue)Baseline up to End of Treatment (approximately 10-36 weeks)The PGI-S is a single-item, 7-point, Likert-type scale for rating disease or symptom severity. Responses ranged from 0 (not present) to 7 (extremely severe). Participants rated the severity of their overall (IH or narcolepsy) symptoms, sleep inertia, and fatigue. Higher scores indicate worse clinical outcome.
Pharmacokinetic Parameter Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) In a Subset of Participants With Narcolepsy Treated With XYWAVPK: Predose, 0.5 hour, 0.75 hour, 1 hour, 1.5 hour post-first dose and post-second dose, 6 hour post-first dose, 8 hour post-first doseBlood samples were processed to obtain plasma samples and then analyzed for oxybate concentrations using a validated bioanalytical method.
Pharmacokinetic Parameter Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-inf) In a Subset of Participants With Narcolepsy Treated With XYWAVPK: Predose, 0.5 hour, 0.75 hour, 1 hour, 1.5 hour post-first dose and post-second dose, 6 hour post-first dose, 8 hour post-first doseBlood samples were processed to obtain plasma samples and then analyzed for oxybate concentrations using a validated bioanalytical method.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

The Enrolled Analysis Set included n=66 Idiopathic Hypersomnia; n=68 Narcolepsy; n=65 \> 9-g Narcolepsy. Each cohort has a cohort-specific ICF and a unique set of protocol specified assessments/procedures. Participants in the \>9-g Narcolepsy cohort were either already taking 9 g/night of Xywav at screening or had titrated to 9 g of Xywav while in the Narcolepsy cohort, discontinued from this cohort, and signed a new ICF to begin the \>9-g Narcolepsy cohort (referred to as "transfer participants").
