Because partial or complete Orexin receptor deficiency plays an important role in the development of EDS, orexin replacement therapy may improve EDS through a pathophysiology-directed mechanism of action. We are currently investigating a new novel drug that acts to help address the deficiency of orexin-2 receptor agonists that may address the spectrum of narcolepsy symptoms and have greater efficacy than currently approved drugs for EDS
