A Switch Study From High-Sodium Oxybate to Xywav to Evaluate Changes in Blood Pressure in Participants With Narcolepsy
United States, Belgium, France155 participantsStarted 2023-06-26
Plain-language summary
The aim of this study is to quantify the change in blood pressure when participants with narcolepsy treated with high-sodium oxybate are transitioned to Xywav, a low-sodium oxybate. The results of this study may provide health care providers (HCPs), patients, and payers with important new information regarding BP changes related to differences in sodium content between available oxybates for the treatment of narcolepsy.

* Participants have a documented diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 narcolepsy that meets International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD)-3 or Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-5 criteria.
* Participants must have been receiving a total dose of high-sodium oxybate (eg, XYREM) of 6 to 9 g/night (inclusive) with twice-nightly dosing for a minimum of 6 consecutive weeks prior to screening.
* If currently treated with stimulants and/or alerting agents or other medications known to affect BP, participant must have been taking the same dosing regimen for at least 2 months prior to screening and agree to take the same dose throughout the study.
* If currently taking stable doses of antihypertensive therapies, participant must maintain these treatments at the same dose throughout the study unless otherwise advised by their medical care
* Participant is male or female. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, if she is a woman of nonchildbearing potential or is a woman of childbearing potential and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
