Dauvilliers Y, et al. N Engl J Med 2025;392:1905-16. • This is the first report of phase 3 clinical data with an orexin receptor 2 agonist in people with NT1. • In The First Light phase 3 study, twice-daily 1 mg and 2 mg doses of oral oveporexton resulted in statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements versus placebo over 12 weeks. • Majority of participants receiving oveporexton reached normative levels of objective (MWT) wakefulness and subjective (ESS) sleepiness. • ~80% median reduction in weekly cataplexy rate for both doses. • Oveporexton was generally safe and well tolerated. • Most TEAEs were mild to moderate in severity and self-limiting and were primarily on-target effects. • No safety concerns in relation to adverse events, vital signs, laboratory, or ECG data. • Consistent with results from phase 2 study in participants with NT1 over 8 weeks.1 Results from The First Light phase 3 study confirm that oveporexton, an oral orexin receptor agonist, provides meaningful improvement with the potential of transformational benefit to people with NT1.

The Radiant Light Conclusions | 62 • The first results from The Radiant Light phase 3 study in Asia, Australia, and Europe are consistent with those from The First Light study in Europe, Japan, and North America1 and with the 8-week phase 2 TAK-861-2001 study in participants with NT1.2 • Oveporexton 2 mg/2 mg demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements versus placebo. • The majority of participants receiving oveporexton reached normative levels of objective (MWT) wakefulness and subjective (ESS) sleepiness. • ~90% median reduction in weekly cataplexy rate. • Observed TEAEs were similar between the 2 studies. • Most TEAEs were mild to moderate in severity and self-limiting and were primarily on-target effects. • No safety concerns in relation to adverse events, vital signs, laboratory, or ECG data.

Background | 67 • In The First Light (Europe, Japan, and North America) and The Radiant Light (Asia, Australia, and Europe) phase 3 studies, twice-daily oral doses of 1 mg and 2 mg oveporexton, an orexin receptor 2 agonist, given at least 3 h apart demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements on measures of wakefulness (MWT), sleepiness (ESS), and cataplexy frequency over 12 weeks versus placebo. In this analysis of data from The First Light and The Radiant Light phase 3 studies, we evaluated the effect of oveporexton on NT1 symptom severity using the Narcolepsy Severity Scale for Clinical Trials (NSS-CT) and the Patient Global Impression (PGI) scales. ESS, Epworth Sleepiness Scale; MWT, Maintenance of Wakefulness Test.

Background • In The First Light (Europe, Japan, and North America) and The Radiant Light (Asia, Australia, and Europe) phase 3 studies, twice-daily oral doses of 1 mg and 2 mg oveporexton, an orexin receptor 2 agonist, given at least 3 h apart demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements on measures of wakefulness (MWT), sleepiness (ESS), and cataplexy frequency over 12 weeks versus placebo. • In The First Light and The Radiant Light phase 3 studies, oral oveporexton significantly improved disease severity, as assessed with the NSS-CT and PGI-C scales, versus placebo in participants with NT1 over 12 weeks. We evaluated the effect of oveporexton (TAK-861) on measures of health- related quality of life (HRQoL) in participants with NT1 from The First Light and The Radiant Light phase 3 studies. | 82 ESS, Epworth Sleepiness Scale; MWT, Maintenance of Wakefulness Test; NSS-CT, Narcolepsy Severity Scale for Clinical Trials; PGI-C, Patient Global Impression of Change.
