Safety, Convenience, and Tolerability of a Nightly Single Oral Dose of Extended-release Sodium Oxybate in Children
Stanford University
Summary
The main objectives of this study are to determine the treatment preferences of children with narcolepsy type 1 between Extended-release sodium oxybate and Non-extended-release oxybates (Sodium oxybate or a medication with the combination of Calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium oxybates). The study will also assess the safety, convenience, and tolerability of Extended-release sodium oxybate. Additionally, the researchers aim to assess how well Extended-release sodium oxybate works in treating narcolepsy type 1.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants must be under the care of a doctor at the Stanford Sleep Clinic. 2. Participants must have a documented diagnosis of narcolepsy type 1 shown by sleepiness and either: a spinal fluid marker for narcolepsy (hypocretin-1) at a specific level, or a history of sudden loss of muscle control (cataplexy), or a particular genetic marker for narcolepsy, or a sleep study showing a specific sleep pattern for narcolepsy. 3. Parent(s), or guardian(s) have signed a consent form and the child must agree to participate. 4. Participants are on a stable dose of medications E…
Interventions
- DrugExtended-release sodium oxybate
Participants will take Extended-release sodium Oxybate (Lumryz) 4.5-9 g oral suspension in approximately ⅓ cup of water orally once a day before bedtime. Dosage of Lumryz will be the same as the equivalent total dose of the Non-Extended-release Oxybate (Xywav or Xyrem) that participants use before starting the study
- DrugNon-extended-release oxybates
Participants will take Non-Extended-release Oxybates (Xyrem oral solution or Xywav oral solution) 4.5-9 g orally per night (divided into two doses, once before bedtime and another dose 2-4 hours later) at the same dose of Xyrem or Xywav that participants use before starting the study will be continued to compare with Extended-release sodium Oxybate (Lumryz)
