The phase 3 REVITALYZ study assessed whether once-nightly extended-release sodium oxybate can improve excessive daytime sleepiness and other core symptoms of idiopathic hypersomnia.

The section chief in the Division of Pulmonary Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at West Virginia University discussed new evidence-based guidelines for sleep-disordered breathing in hospitalized patients.

Long-term phase 3 extension data showed that pitolisant was generally well tolerated and associated with sustained improvements in excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep inertia, and functional outcomes in adults with idiopathic hypersomnia for more than 2 years.

Data from phase 3 studies presented at SLEEP 2026 showed that investigational oveporexton was associated with improvements in REM sleep architecture and sleep-related symptoms in patients with NT1.
