Study 4 design

8-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 110 pediatric patients 6 to 17 years of age with narcolepsy with or without cataplexy (based on ICSD-3 criteria). WAKIX was initiated at 4.45 mg once daily and could be increased at weekly intervals to 17.8 mg (patients weighing <40 kg) or 35.6 mg (patients weighing ≥40 kg) once daily based on clinical response and tolerability. After the 4-week titration period, patients were treated with a stable dosage for an additional 4 weeks. No dosage adjustments were permitted during the stable dose phase.
