In August 2021, lower sodium oxybate (LXB) was the first treatment approved for idiopathic hypersomnia (IH). This is a breakthrough achievement; however, awareness and understanding of the new therapy, as well as other novel therapies, may be suboptimal. In data collected regarding LXB, only 8% of clinicians were aware LXB had received approval for IH pre-activity. In another pre-activity survey, 54% of clinicians were unlikely/not at all likely to use FDA-approved therapy in practice while 57% were unsure/not confident in transitioning patients from current therapy, suggesting a significant gap in knowledge regarding novel treatments. Clinicians need education on the clinically meaningful effects of LXB twice-nightly treatment for patients with IH.
In this CMEO Snack entitled, Ground Broken: Novel Therapies to Manage Idiopathic Hypersomnia, expert faculty will discuss current and novel therapies in IH, efficacy and safety data from recent clinical trials, and relevant findings from the SLEEP 2023 conference.
Utilize the latest efficacy and safety data to integrate novel therapies into clinical practice to mitigate the impact of IH.
