LBA4005 Background: To date, no phase 3 clinical trial has demonstrated an overall survival (OS) benefit in patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (LA-PAC). TTFields are electric fields that disrupt cancer cell division. TTFields therapy is approved for glioblastoma, pleural mesothelioma, and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. A phase 2 trial in PAC demonstrated the safety and preliminary efficacy of TTFields therapy with gemcitabine with or without nab-paclitaxel. We report final data from PANOVA-3 (NCT03377491), the largest global, phase 3, randomized, open-label trial in LA-PAC to date. Methods: Adult patients with newly diagnosed unresectable LA-PAC were randomized 1:1 to receive TTFields therapy (150 kHz) with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (GnP) or GnP. The primary endpoint was OS. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), local PFS, objective response rate (ORR), and pain-free survival. Distant PFS (metastases beyond the pancreas and regional lymph nodes) was assessed post hoc. Survival data were compared using the Kaplan-Meier method and a log-rank test. Results: 571 patients were randomized. Baseline characteristics were generally well balanced between the study arms. OS was significantly longer with TTFields/GnP than with GnP (median 16.2 [95% CI: 15.0, 18.0] vs 14.2 months [95% CI: 12.8, 15.4]; HR 0.82 [95% CI: 0.68, 0.99], p=0.039). One-year survival rate was also significantly improved with TTFields/GnP vs GnP (68.1% [95% CI: 62.0-73.5] vs 60.2% [95% CI: 54.2-65.7], p=0.029). There was no significant difference in PFS or local PFS between arms. Pain-free survival was significantly longer with TTFields/GnP vs GnP (median 15.2 [95% CI: 10.3, 22.8] vs 9.1 months [95% CI: 7.4, 12.7]; HR 0.74 [95% CI: 0.56, 0.97], p=0.027). Post-hoc analysis showed significant distant PFS benefit (median 13.9 [95% CI: 12.2, 16.8] vs 11.5 months [95% CI: 10.4, 12.9], HR 0.74 [95% CI: 0.57, 0.96], p=0.022) with TTFields/GnP vs GnP. ORR was similar between arms (36.1% [95% CI: 30.0, 42.4] vs 30.0% [95% CI: 24.3, 36.2], p=0.094). 97.8% and 98.9% of patients who received TTFields/GnP and GnP, respectively, had adverse events (AEs) and 88.6% and 84.3% had grade ≥3 AEs. The most frequent grade ≥3 AEs were neutropenia (47.8% and 47.6%) and anemia (21.9% and 22.3). 81% of patients receiving TTFields/GnP had device-related AEs, mostly grade 1/2 skin AEs, e.g., dermatitis (27.7%), rash (17.5%), and pruritus (15.0%); grade 3 and grade 4 device-related AEs occurred in 9.1% and 0.4% of patients, respectively. Conclusions: PANOVA-3 is the largest phase 3 trial exclusively performed in patients with LA-PAC and the first to show a statistically significant OS benefit. With no additive systemic toxicity and a statistically significant pain-free survival benefit, TTFields therapy is a potential new standard treatment for LA-PAC.

BACKGROUND: Small, randomized trials of patients with cervical artery dissection showed conflicting results regarding optimal stroke prevention strategies. We aimed to compare outcomes in patients with cervical artery dissection treated with antiplatelets versus anticoagulation. METHODS: This is a multicenter observational retrospective international study (16 countries, 63 sites) that included patients with cervical artery dissection without major trauma. The exposure was antithrombotic treatment type (anticoagulation versus antiplatelets), and outcomes were subsequent ischemic stroke and major hemorrhage (intracranial or extracranial hemorrhage). We used adjusted Cox regression with inverse probability of treatment weighting to determine associations between anticoagulation and study outcomes within 30 and 180 days. The main analysis used an as-treated crossover approach and only included outcomes occurring with the above treatments. RESULTS: The study included 3636 patients (402 [11.1%] received exclusively anticoagulation and 2453 [67.5%] received exclusively antiplatelets). By day 180, there were 162 new ischemic strokes (4.4%) and 28 major hemorrhages (0.8%); 87.0% of ischemic strokes occurred by day 30. In adjusted Cox regression with inverse probability of treatment weighting, compared with antiplatelet therapy, anticoagulation was associated with a nonsignificantly lower risk of subsequent ischemic stroke by day 30 (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.71 [95% CI, 0.45–1.12]; P =0.145) and by day 180 (adjusted HR, 0.80 [95% CI, 0.28–2.24]; P =0.670). Anticoagulation therapy was not associated with a higher risk of major hemorrhage by day 30 (adjusted HR, 1.39 [95% CI, 0.35–5.45]; P =0.637) but was by day 180 (adjusted HR, 5.56 [95% CI, 1.53–20.13]; P =0.009). In interaction analyses, patients with occlusive dissection had significantly lower ischemic stroke risk with anticoagulation (adjusted HR, 0.40 [95% CI, 0.18–0.88]; P interaction =0.009). CONCLUSIONS: Our study does not rule out the benefit of anticoagulation in reducing ischemic stroke risk, particularly in patients with occlusive dissection. If anticoagulation is chosen, it seems reasonable to switch to antiplatelet therapy before 180 days to lower the risk of major bleeding. Large prospective studies are needed to validate our findings.

PURPOSE Tumor treating fields (TTFields) use alternating electric fields to disrupt cancer cell proliferation. Feasibility of TTFields therapy with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel was previously demonstrated in patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. PANOVA-3 was designed to confirm safety and efficacy of TTFields in patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (LA-PAC). METHODS In this global phase III trial, 571 patients with newly diagnosed LA-PAC were randomly assigned to receive gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m 2 and nab-paclitaxel 125 mg/m 2 by intravenous infusion once a day on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle with or without TTFields. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), local PFS, pain-free survival, and overall response rate (ORR). Distant PFS was analyzed post hoc. RESULTS OS was significantly prolonged using TTFields with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel versus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (median, 16.2 months [95% CI, 15.0 to 18.0] v 14.2 months [95% CI, 12.8 to 15.4]; hazard ratio [HR], 0.82 [95% CI, 0.68 to 0.99]; P = .039). PFS, local PFS, and ORR were not improved. Pain-free survival was significantly prolonged with TTFields with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (median, 15.2 months [95% CI, 10.3 to 22.8] v 9.1 months [95% CI, 7.4 to 12.7]; HR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.56 to 0.97]; P = .027), as was distant PFS (median, 13.9 months [95% CI, 12.2 to 16.8] v 11.5 months [95% CI, 10.4 to 12.9]; HR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.57 to 0.96]; P = .022). Device-related skin adverse events (AEs) were experienced by 76.3% of patients. Most device-related skin AEs were mild to moderate, with 7.7% of patients reporting a grade 3 AE. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated significant OS, pain-free survival, and distant PFS benefits for TTFields with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel versus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in patients with unresectable LA-PAC, with no additive systemic toxicity.

Abstract Objectives/Background Post‐traumatic headache (PTH) is a common symptom following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Currently, there is no identified way to accurately predict if, when, and at what pace a person will have PTH improvement. In our prior studies, we focused on predicting headache improvement at 3 months post‐mTBI. However, that approach may overlook individual differences in how headaches evolve over time. This study aimed to identify individual subgroups based on their headache trajectories and to develop machine‐learning (ML) models for early prediction of headache evolution. Methods Participants with acute PTH completed a daily electronic headache diary over 3 months, recording their headache‐related symptoms. Tensor decomposition was utilized to extract latent factors underlying the time‐varying symptoms. We applied clustering techniques on the latent factors to identify patient subgroups with varying headache improvement trajectory. Next, we developed an ML method to classify each individual into a headache trajectory subgroup as early as possible within the 3‐month interval. Results Seventy‐three individuals with acute PTH (mean age = 44.8 years, SD = 14.0; 50 females/23 males) were enrolled between 0 and 59 days post‐mTBI. Data from 54 individuals were used as the training cohort for model training, and 19 individuals were used as the test cohort for model evaluation. Tensor decomposition extracted two latent factors: one factor representing the overall state of PTH severity and disability and the other representing the improvement state of these symptoms over 3 months. Clustering identified four patient subgroups with distinct headache evolution trajectories: (1) severe symptoms without improvement, (2) severe symptoms with mild improvement, (3) milder symptoms with substantial improvement, and (4) mildest symptoms with mild improvement. The proposed ML model achieved 0.80 cross‐validation accuracy in classifying individuals with PTH into subgroups for the training cohort and 0.84 accuracy for the test cohort. Notably, the model required only the first 2 weeks of headache data to accurately identify the subgroup with the mildest headaches, 3 additional weeks to identify the subgroup with the most severe headaches and no improvement in 3 months, and 2 additional weeks to distinguish the remaining subgroups. Conclusion This study identified subgroups of individuals with acute PTH with distinct headache improvement trajectories. The proposed ML method accurately classified individuals into these subgroups using the minimally necessary early headache data for each person, including detecting the subgroup with the mildest headaches at 2 weeks. This approach could offer an estimated forecast of headache burden over time and could assist clinicians with determining treatment needs and eligibility for PTH clinical trials.

11507 Background: Advanced uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. Standard-of-care treatments, including trabectedin (Tb) or pazopanib (P), provide median progression-free survival (PFS) of 3-4 months (mo) and objective response rates (ORR) of ~11%. Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in a subset of uLMS supports the use of PARP inhibitors combined with DNA-damaging agents. Preclinical studies demonstrated synergistic activity of olaparib and temozolomide (T+O), and a prior single-arm Phase II study of T+O showed promising efficacy independent of an established biomarker, warranting further investigation in a randomized setting. Methods: Alliance A092104 is a Phase II/III trial evaluating olaparib (200 mg BID) plus temozolomide (75 mg/m² daily, days 1-7, every 21 days) versus investigator’s choice of Tb or P in patients (pts) with advanced uLMS who progressed on ≥2 prior systemic therapies. Stratification factors included ECOG (0-1 vs. 2) and prior lines (2 vs. ≥3). The Phase II (Phase III) primary endpoint was PFS (OS), with a planned suspension of accrual at the end of Phase II. A total of 70 evaluable pts (58 PFS events) were needed to detect an improvement in PFS from 4 vs. 8 mo with power of 90% and 1-sided type I error of 10%, with futility assessed after 29 PFS events. Upon meeting the Phase II futility threshold for PFS, the trial was permanently closed. Data were released from the data and safety monitoring board. Pts continue to be followed for outcomes. Results: 74 pts enrolled (Arm 1: T+O, n = 37; Arm 2: investigator’s choice, n = 37 (Tb, 18; P, 13; 6 pts did not start treatment). The arms were balanced for baseline demographics except race, with the T+O arm having a higher proportion of black/African American (29.7% vs. 16.2%). 21 pts remain on treatment. Hematologic adverse events (AEs) were more frequent in the T+O arm, with Grade 4 neutropenia (19.5%) and thrombocytopenia (8.3%) both managed by dose reductions. Non-hematologic Grade 3 AEs were higher in the investigator’s choice arm (45.2% vs. 13.9%). No Grade 5 AEs were reported. In the first 70 pts, with a median follow-up of 5.9 mo, and 39 total PFS events, the median PFS was 3.2 mo (95% CI: 2.0-NE) for T+O versus 5.6 mo (95% CI: 2.8-NE) for investigator’s choice (HR = 1.00; 95% CI: 0.60-2.17; 1-sided stratified log rank p = 0.50). Within Arm 2, the median PFS for Tb and P were respectively 5.6 (95% CI: 3.1-NE) and 3.8 (95% CI: 1.5-NE) mo. 3 pts in the T+0 arm and 1 patient in the investigator’s choice arm (Tb) had a confirmed partial response. Conclusions: The trial did not meet its primary endpoint of PFS in Phase II. This suggests that a biomarker may be needed before there is further exploration of PARP inhibitor-based regimens in uLMS. Overall survival and analysis of tissue-based biomarkers will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT05432791 .

9578 Background: Anti-PD1 immunotherapy has shown improved clinical outcomes in patients (pts) with advanced cSCC, and recently, in the neoadjuvant setting for resectable disease. Pathological (path) response is predictive of recurrence in melanoma and recent NeoIT trials suggests the same in cSCC; however, an analysis of clinical outcomes in pts with resectable cSCC treated with intended anti-PD1-based NeoIT in larger datasets remains unknown. Methods: Pts with resectable cSCC treated with intended anti-PD1-based NeoIT from 17 cancer centres globally were included. Baseline patient and disease characteristics, treatment regimen, path response and recurrence-free survival (RFS) or progression-free survival (PFS) were collected and examined. Results: 134 pts with resectable cSCC were treated with intended anti-PD1-based NeoIT. Median age was 75 years old (range, 39-97), 72% (n=97) were male. One fifth (22%, n=29) were immunocompromised and 43% (n=58) had ECOG PS of ≥1. Of 125 (93%) pts with known primary cSCC, 82% (n=102) were from the head & neck. Most pts (79%, n=106) were stage III/IV. The majority had anti-PD1 monotherapy (91%, n=122) and 9% (n=12) had anti-PD1+/-investigational agent. Median follow-up from commencement of NeoIT was 10 months (95% CI, 9 - 12). Nearly half of the pts (49%, n=66) underwent surgery; 37 (56%) pts had major pathological response (MPR; ≤10% viable tumour cells at the surgical specimen; 31 [47%] had complete path response [0% of viable tumour cells] and 6 [9%] had near complete path response [1-10% of viable tumour cells]), 6 (9%) had partial path response (pPR; >10% and ≤50% of viable tumour cells), and 23 (35%) had path non-response (pNR; >50% of viable tumour cells). Of the 66 pts who underwent surgery, 11% (n=7) had recurrence (5 loco-regional and 2 distant recurrence), all non-MPR pts (1 pPR and 6 pNR). 12-months RFS was improved with MPR vs non-MPR (100% vs 79%, p=0.004). 52% (n=34) pts had adjuvant treatment (23 anti-PD1 alone, 7 anti-PD1+/-investigational agent, 2 platinum and 2 cetuximab). Within non-MPR pts, 12 had adjuvant treatment (3 recurred; 25%), while 17 did not have adjuvant treatment (4 recurred; 24%). Fifty-one percent (n=68) of pts did not have surgery; 9 (13%) due to progressive disease (PD) and 53 (78%) due to clinical response. Of the 53 pts with a clinical response, 5 (9%) subsequently progressed. Fourteen (10%) pts have died, 6 (4%) related to cSCC; 2 had surgery (non-MPR) and 4 did not have surgery (all due to PD). Conclusions: Anti-PD1-based NeoIT is an active regimen in resectable stage II-IV cSCC and is associated with high clinical response and MPR rates. No pts with MPR from NeoIT has recurred to date, however, 9% of pts who did not have surgery due to clinical response eventually progressed. These findings highlight the importance of further research to investigate the role of surgery in this subgroup of patients.

2085 Background: Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare and aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma with no approved treatments for relapsed/refractory (R/R) patients, representing a critical unmet need. MyD88 mutations in ~70% of PCNSL patients drive Interleukin-1 receptor associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) activation, promoting NF-κB signaling, inflammation, and tumor progression. Emavusertib, a potent oral IRAK4 inhibitor, crosses the blood-brain barrier and shows preclinical synergy with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi), re-sensitizing BTKi-resistant cell lines. This study evaluates the molecular and pharmacokinetic (PK) data associated with responses to emavusertib + ibrutinib combination therapy in R/R PCNSL patients. Methods: The safety, clinical activity, and potential biomarkers of emavusertib in R/R PCNSL are being investigated in the ongoing open-label, Phase 1/2 TakeAim Lymphoma trial (NCT03328078). Pre-dose and 1.5-hour post-dose plasma samples were collected on Cycle 3 Day 1, Cycle 5 Day 1 and Cycle 7 Day 1. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were obtained via a lumbar puncture within 1.5 hrs of collection of the post-dose plasma PK sample on Cycle 3 Day 1. Mutation analysis was based on patients’ molecular pathology reports provided by trial sites. Sequencing of archival tissues, CSF and plasma are in progress. Results: As of 06 December 2024, CSF concentration data were available for 7 PCNSL patients. The mean emavusertib concentration in CSF was 81.3 ng/ml (54.7-104.0) in patients receiving 100 mg emavusertib BID (n = 4). In patients receiving 200 mg emavusertib BID (n = 3), the mean emavusertib concentration in CSF was higher at 175.7 ng/ml (114.8-209.4), which is 2.2X the mean value in patients who received 100 mg emavusertib BID (p-value = 0.02). All 7 patients received 560 mg ibrutinib QD, and the ibrutinib concentrations in the CSF were consistent with findings from previously published clinical studies. MyD88 mutation status was available for 7 patients of which all had prior exposure to BTKi regimens. Among these, 6 patients had MyD88 mutation of which 4 patients had responded (3 complete responses and 1 partial response) to emavusertib + ibrutinib combination with duration of response (DOR) up to 18.9 months with data collection ongoing. Conclusions: Preliminary CNS pharmacokinetic data demonstrates that emavusertib concentration in CSF increases with increasing emavusertib dose. Patients with MyD88 mutations showed expected promising preliminary efficacy to emavusertib + ibrutinib combination and may overcome BTKi resistance. Enrollment in this trial is ongoing.

Background Headache is a common symptom following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Post-traumatic headache (PTH), a secondary headache disorder that develops after mTBI, often persists for months or years. To identify potential recovery mechanisms and prognostic biomarkers, the present study investigated whether longitudinal changes in pain-induced brain activation differ between healthy controls (HC) and PTH participants showing headache improvement and those without improvement. Methods Thirty-three participants who met International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition, criteria for acute PTH within 59 days post-mTBI and 33 HC participants were included with no significant differences in demographics. All participants underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging scans at baseline, four weeks, and 16 weeks post-enrollment using a thermal stimulation paradigm with noxious and non-painful heat stimuli. ‘Painful vs. Non-Painful Heat’ contrasts were generated using SPM12. PTH improvement was assessed at three months post-enrollment via electronic headache diaries. Two-sample t -tests compared the brain activation between HC and PTH at baseline. Linear mixed-effects models examined longitudinal changes for HC, PTH improvement and non-improvement groups across visits. Generalized linear models compared these groups within visits. Results Baseline analysis revealed several regions with significantly higher activation in acute PTH compared to HC, including bilateral postcentral gyrus, right superior temporal gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, left inferior parietal gyrus, right superior parietal gyrus, left ventral striatum, left olfactory cortex, left gyrus rectus, and left middle occipital gyrus. Over time, the PTH improvement group demonstrated progressive normalization across all identified brain regions, whereas the non-improvement group showed only partial normalization in left ventral striatum, left olfactory cortex, and left gyrus rectus. Sustained elevated activation in specific regions distinguished PTH participants without headache improvement from those with headache improvement, suggesting potential biomarkers for persistent PTH. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate significantly altered pain-induced brain activations in participants with acute PTH compared to HC. Longitudinal analysis revealed distinct recovery trajectories: progressive normalization in the improvement group versus persistent alterations in the non-improvement group. These neuroimaging patterns may serve as biomarkers for identifying individuals at risk for persistent PTH, with implications for early intervention and personalized treatment approaches.

Abstract Introduction Jazz DUET (Develop hypersomnia Understanding by Evaluating low-sodium oxybate Treatment) is a phase 4, prospective, multicenter, single-arm, multiple-cohort, open-label study (NCT05875974) assessing the effectiveness of low-sodium oxybate (LXB; Xywav®) treatment on daytime and nighttime symptoms in participants with narcolepsy (type 1 [NT1] or 2 [NT2]) or idiopathic hypersomnia. Data presented are from the narcolepsy cohort. Methods DUET included a screening period (with 2-week washout for current oxybate users), 8-day baseline (BL) period, 2- to 8-week LXB titration period, 2-week stable-dose period, 8-day end-of treatment (EOT) period, and 2-week safety follow-up. The primary endpoint was change in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score from BL to EOT. Key secondary endpoints for the narcolepsy cohort included change in polysomnography parameters: total shifts from deeper to lighter sleep stages, stage N3 sleep duration (minutes), and number of awakenings. Additional endpoints included Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIc)–overall narcolepsy disease. Primary and key secondary endpoints were controlled for multiplicity with sequential testing; other P-values are considered nominal. Results Fifty-five narcolepsy participants enrolled and were dosed with LXB (NT1, n=26; NT2, n=29); 13 transferred to another cohort and 34 were completers (NT1, n=16; NT2, n=18). Enrolled participants were mostly female (72.7%) and White (80.0%); mean (SD) age was 33.4 (12.9) years (NT1=34.6 [12.6]; NT2=32.4 [13.2]). For completers, least-squares mean (LSM) (SE) changes in ESS score were −7.7 (0.9), P<.0001, overall; NT1=−6.5 (1.4), P<.0001; NT2=−8.8 (1.3), P<.0001. Compared with BL, sleep architecture at EOT showed fewer deeper to lighter sleep stage shifts (LSM [SE]: −13.1 [2.9], P<.0001, overall; NT1=−13.9 [4.3], P=0.0029; NT2=−12.3 [4.1], P=0.0050); increased stage N3 sleep (minutes) (45.0 [8.8], P<.0001, overall; NT1=49.8 [13.0], P=0.0006; NT2=40.8 [12.3], P=0.0023); and fewer awakenings (−3.2 [0.9], P=0.0015, overall; NT1=−4.1 [1.4], P=0.0056; NT2=−2.3 [1.3], P=0.0771). Most participants (93.3%, n=30; NT1, 86.7%, n=15; NT2, 100%, n=15) reported improvement (very much, much, minimally) in overall narcolepsy disease on PGIc. Treatment-emergent adverse events were consistent with the known safety profile of LXB. Conclusion Participants with NT1 and NT2 taking open-label LXB showed improvements in daytime sleepiness (decreased ESS scores) and reduced symptom burden (improved PGIc), which paralleled improvements in sleep architecture and disruption.

Abstract Introduction Introduction: Jazz DUET (Develop hypersomnia Understanding by Evaluating low-sodium oxybate Treatment) is a phase 4, prospective, multicenter, single-arm, multiple-cohort, open-label study (NCT05875974) evaluating the effectiveness of low-sodium oxybate (LXB, Xywav®) treatment on daytime and nighttime symptoms, including excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and polysomnography in participants with idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) or narcolepsy. Data presented are from the IH cohort. Methods DUET included screening (with 2-week washout for oxybate users), 8-day baseline (BL), 2- to 8-week LXB titration, 2-week stable-dose, 8-day end-of-treatment (EOT), and 2-week safety follow-up periods. The primary endpoint was change in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score from BL to EOT. Secondary endpoints for the IH cohort included change in Idiopathic Hypersomnia Severity Scale (IHSS) total score, Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIc)−overall IH disease, PGIc−sleep inertia, and Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGIs)−sleep inertia. Exploratory endpoints included IHSS component scores (daytime functioning, sleep inertia). Primary and key secondary (IHSS total score) endpoints were controlled for multiplicity with sequential testing; all other P-values are considered nominal. Results Forty-six people with IH enrolled and were dosed with LXB; 40 were completers. Enrolled participants were mostly female (80.4%) and White (84.8%), with a mean (SD) age of 38.1 (11.8) years. For completers, BL mean (SD) ESS score and IHSS total score were 16.5 (2.7) and 32.9 (7.1), respectively; least-squares mean (LSM) (SE) changes from BL to EOT were −8.4 (0.7), P<.0001 and −15.5 (1.5), P<.0001. BL mean (SD) IHSS component scores for daytime functioning and sleep inertia were 17.7 (4.2) and 10.7 (3.1), respectively; LSM (SE) changes from BL to EOT were −8.8 (1.0), P<.0001 and −4.8 (0.4), P<.0001. At EOT, most participants reported improvement (very much, much, minimally) on PGIc−overall IH disease (94.6%) and PGIc−sleep inertia (81.1%). At BL, 25.0% of participants reported sleep inertia severity as very mild/mild/not present on PGIs–sleep inertia vs 59.0% at EOT. Treatment-emergent adverse events were consistent with the known safety profile of LXB. Conclusion People with IH taking open-label LXB showed improvements in EDS and sleep inertia (decreased ESS and IHSS component scores) and reported reduced multi-symptom burden (decreased IHSS total scores and improved PGIc/PGIs ratings).
