It is currently classified into two different types: narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) caused by significant loss of orexin neurons with resulting lack of orexin, and narcolepsy type 2 (NT2) where orexin levels are generally normal.

Key Points: 
  • It is currently classified into two different types: narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) caused by significant loss of orexin neurons with resulting lack of orexin, and narcolepsy type 2 (NT2) where orexin levels are generally normal.
  • Stimulating the orexin receptor 2 in NT1 patients targets the underlying pathophysiology of the disease to restore orexin signaling.
  • Based on these results, and in consultation with global health authorities, Takeda plans to initiate global Phase 3 trials of TAK-861 in NT1 rapidly in the first half of its fiscal year 2024.
  • Results from the Phase 2b trials have no impact on the full year consolidated reported forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 (Fiscal Year 2023).

BOSTON and LONDON, Oct. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Centessa Pharmaceuticals plc (Nasdaq: CNTA), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company that aims to discover and develop medicines that are transformational for patients, today announced a robust set of new preclinical data from in vivo and in vitro studies of its investigational, novel orexin receptor 2 (OX2R) agonist, ORX750, that support its potential best-in-class profile for the treatment of narcolepsy and other sleep-wake disorders.

Key Points: 
  • “The preclinical data showed ORX750 achieved maximal wake times and suppressed cataplexy at 0.1 mg/kg, the lowest oral dose tested in the DTA mouse model.
  • Notably, this activity was observed in both the DTA and Atax mouse models that recapitulate NT1 symptoms in humans.
  • Fluorescent imaging plate reader (FLIPR) assay with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably expressing recombinant human OX1R or OX2R; OXA EC50 at hOX2R = 0.035 nM.
  • As measured by electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG) with concurrent video in DTA and Atax mouse models.
