About this study
The purpose of this study is to provide access to treatment with pitolisant while a U.S. New Drug Application (NDA) is being prepared and submitted for review for marketing approval. This program will be open to adult patients in the U.S. with Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) associated with narcolepsy, with or without cataplexy. Pitolisant will be made available through treating physicians participating in the program.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

- Patients should be free of prohibited treatments or have discontinued them for at least 7 days prior to the start of treatments.
- Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test performed at the screening visit.
- Due to the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives potentially being reduced when used with pitolisant, alternative or concomitant barrier methods of contraception are required for patients taking hormonal contraceptives (e.g., ethinyl estradiol) when taking pitolisant and for at least 21 days after discontinuation of pitolisant treatment.
