Vibrance-2: Successful Phase 2 Study of Alixorexton in Patients With Narcolepsy Type 2 Topline results address the study’s key objectives: Efficacy Safety and Tolerability Phase 3 Readiness


Slide 4

Vibrance-2: Positive Outcome Supports Advancing to Phase 3 Alixorexton is the first orexin 2 receptor agonist to demonstrate an efficacy signal with statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in MWT and ESS in a large, multi-dose phase 2 study in narcolepsy type 2 (NT2) Alixorexton was generally well tolerated, with most TEAEs mild to moderate in severity and no serious TEAEs reported Safety and tolerability profile confirmed anticipated dose/response shift in NT2 patients Important new findings from Vibrance-2 inform phase 3 program MWT = Maintenance of Wakefulness Test; ESS = Epworth Sleepiness Scale; NT2 = narcolepsy type 2; TEAE: treatment-emergent adverse events


Slide 5

Narcolepsy Type 2: Heterogeneous Patient Population with Significant Unmet Need Chronic neurological sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), without the presence of cataplexy Underlying disease pathology is less clear than NT1; NT2 patients have detectable and variable levels of orexin in CSF Variable disease severity and response to treatment Significant unmet need and limited number of available treatment options 1 Ruoff C, Rye D.
