There remains high unmet need for the idiopathic hypersomnia community, as evidenced by a recent survey conducted by the Sleep Consortium<sup>1<\/sup> in which more than 90% of patients surveyed indicated that IH symptoms had a moderate to high impact on their life,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Craig Hopkinson<\/span>, M.D., Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President, Research &amp; Development at Alkermes. &#8220;The Vibrance-3 phase 2 study builds on encouraging data from our phase <span class=\"xn-money\">1b<\/span>, proof-of-concept study of ALKS 2680 in patients with IH, and we look forward to further characterizing its safety and efficacy profile in this patient population.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Vibrance-3 is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, dose-range-finding, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of ALKS 2680 in adults with IH. Participants will be randomized to receive one of three doses of ALKS 2680 (10 mg, 14 mg or 18 mg) or placebo to be taken once-daily for eight weeks. The primary endpoint will assess, by dose level, whether participants taking ALKS 2680 experience a greater decrease in sleepiness compared to participants taking placebo alone, as measured by the change in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score. Secondary endpoints include change in Idiopathic Hypersomnia Severity Scale (IHSS) score and incidence of adverse events.\u00a0The study is expected to enroll approximately 96 patients with IH across sites in the U.S., <span class=\"xn-location\">Australia<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span>. Participants who complete the study will be eligible to continue in a long-term, open-label, safety study (NCT06767683).<\/p>\n<p>More information can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4395522-1&amp;h=1580521401&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.clinicaltrials.gov%2F&amp;a=www.clinicaltrials.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.clinicaltrials.gov<\/a>\u00a0(identifier: NCT06843590) and <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4395522-1&amp;h=1907436961&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fvibrancestudies.com%2F%3Futm_source%3DAlkermes%26utm_medium%3DPressRelease%26utm_content%3DAwareness%26utm_campaign%3DAwareness_Vibrance2&amp;a=www.vibrancestudies.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.vibrancestudies.com<\/a>\u00a0(for U.S. audiences only).<\/p>\n<p>Vibrance-1 and Vibrance-2, phase 2 studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of ALKS 2680 in adults with narcolepsy type 1 (NCT06358950) and narcolepsy type 2 (NCT06555783), respectively, are currently ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b><br \/>\n          <u>About ALKS 2680<br \/><\/u><br \/>\n        <\/b>ALKS 2680 is a novel, investigational, oral, selective orexin 2 receptor (OX2R) agonist in development as a once-daily treatment for narcolepsy type 1 (NT1), narcolepsy type 2 (NT2) and idiopathic hypersomnia (IH). Orexin, a neuropeptide produced in the lateral hypothalamus, is considered to be the master regulator of wakefulness due to its activation of multiple, downstream wake-promoting pathways that project widely throughout the brain.<sup>2<\/sup> Targeting the orexin system may address excessive daytime sleepiness across hypersomnolence disorders, whether or not deficient orexin signaling is the underlying cause of disease.<sup>3<\/sup> Once-daily oral administration of ALKS 2680 was previously evaluated in a phase 1 study in healthy volunteers and patients with NT1, NT2 and IH, and is currently being evaluated in the phase 2 Vibrance-1, Vibrance-2 and Vibrance-3 studies in patients with NT1, NT2 and IH, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b><br \/>\n          <u>About Idiopathic Hypersomnia<br \/><\/u><br \/>\n        <\/b>Idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) is a rare, chronic, neurological sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness despite normal sleep durations.<sup>4,5<\/sup> Additional common symptoms can include severe sleep inertia (individuals may feel groggy or disoriented for prolonged periods after waking up), unrefreshing naps, fatigue and cognitive dysfunction.<sup>6,7<\/sup> The underlying neuropathology of idiopathic hypersomnia is unknown.<sup>4<\/sup> IH affects an estimated 40,000 people in America.<sup>8<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\n        <b><br \/>\n          <u>About\u00a0Alkermes plc<br \/><\/u><br \/>\n        <\/b>Alkermes plc is a global biopharmaceutical company that seeks to develop innovative medicines in the field of neuroscience.
