Several therapies from a range of drug classes are available to address the symptoms of narcolepsy; these symptoms include excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy. Despite the availability of these treatments, a large proportion of patients have inadequate control of their narcolepsy symptoms, leaving opportunity for new agents to address these shortcomings. Given that narcolepsy treatment is highly individualized and complex, understanding the use of current therapies in the nuanced narcolepsy treatment algorithm ahead of anticipated product launches is essential. Our Treatment Algorithms research leverages national patient-level claims data to explore the uptake and use of key therapies for narcolepsy, such as modafinil, armodafinil, psychostimulants, antidepressants, and agents approved to treat EDS or EDS and cataplexy symptoms in narcolepsy, such as Harmony Biosciences’ Wakix, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ Xyrem, Xywav, and Sunosi in both newly diagnosed and recently treated patients.
