Effects of solriamfetol treatment on body weight in participants with obstructive sleep apnea or narcolepsy.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This analysis characterized changes in weight in participants with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or narcolepsy treated with solriamfetol (Sunosi™) 37.5 (OSA only), 75, 150, or 300 mg/d.

Methods

In two 12-week, randomized, placebo-controlled trials and one 1-year open-label extension study, changes in weight were evaluated from baseline to end of study (week 12 or week 40 of the open-label extension [after up to 52 weeks of solriamfetol treatment]) in participants with OSA or narcolepsy.

Results

After 12 weeks of solriamfetol treatment, median percent change in weight from baseline across all solriamfetol doses was -0.84%, compared with 0.54% for placebo, in participants with OSA; and -0.07%, compared with 3.08% for placebo, in participants with narcolepsy.
