Avadel Pharmaceuticals (AVDL) and nference published real-world data analysis on sodium oxybate treatment patterns in narcolepsy patients in the Journal of Clinical Neuroscience. The study analyzed 4,387 Mayo Clinic patients with narcolepsy, including 351 treated with immediate-release sodium oxybate.

Key findings revealed:

• No significant differences in comorbidity rates between treated and untreated groups, including hypertension (21.1% vs 21.4%) and coronary artery disease (7.1% in both groups)
• Approximately one-third of patients discontinued treatment, primarily due to lack of efficacy
• Inability to wake up was the most common reason for missing the second nightly dose
• Both groups showed high rates of insomnia (approximately 43%)

The study highlights challenges with middle-of-the-night sodium oxybate dosing and reduced efficacy when second doses are missed, suggesting potential underutilization of the therapy due to dosing requirements.
