When Sleep Is Exhausting: Improving Diagnosis and Outcomes in Patients
With Idiopathic Hypersomnia

Learning Objectives
Recognize health risks associated with idiopathic hypersomnia

Differentiate idiopathic hypersomnia from other conditions that
cause excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS)

Explain how to establish a confirmatory diagnosis of idiopathic
hypersomnia

Propose effective, individualized, evidence-based management
strategies for patients with idiopathic hypersomnia

Epidemiology of Idiopathic Hypersomnia

+ Rare disease, with unknown prevalence

+ Estimates suggest a prevalence of 15 per 100,000 population
+ Onset of symptoms is typically between 10-30 years old

+ Diagnosis is typically delayed until age 28-35 years

* Familial cases?

+ A higher prevalence in females

+ Spontaneous remissions reported in some patients

Idiopathic Hypersomnia Severity Scale (IHSS)

Designed to measure severity of IH symptoms (at time of diagnosis and
across treatments)

14 questions relevant to IH:

— Ideal duration of night-time sleep

—Sleep inertia (how hard it is to wake up and function properly)
—Long naps and whether naps are restful

— Impact of IH on driving and other daily tasks

Scoring:

—<22 = normal

— 22-30 in treated IH patients
—>31 in untreated IH patients

Medication Approaches

www.peervoice.com/DRF870

Patient-centric approach
— Every patient has unique needs, and these recommendations aren't one-size-fits-all

Physical health
— Nutrient-dense foods and smaller meals

Pitolisant in Adult Patients With IH: Phase 3 INTUNE Study to

Assess Safety and Efficacy

+ INTUNE was a phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind
withdrawal study

+ 213 patients were enrolled and dosed in the study, of which 139 were randomized

+ Topline results showed no statistically significant difference between the
therapy and placebo in the primary endpoint of improving excessive daytime
sleepiness (EDS)

« Positive trends favoring pitolisant were observed in other prespecified
endpoints including Idiopathic Hypersomnia Severity Scale (IHSS) and Sleep
Inertia Questionnaire (SIQ)

+ Safety and tolerability profile in adult patients with IH was consistent with
established safety profile of pitolisant

An Individualized Patient-Centric Approach to Care in the

Management of IH

What are the key considerations when developing a treatment plan for
patients with IH? What strategies can help improve treatment success?

Long sleep episodes: Assess if the patient experiences prolonged sleep episodes
at night and/or sleep inertia.

Daytime sleepiness: Evaluate the presence and severity of daytime sleepiness.
Impact on functioning: Understand how IH affects the patient's daily life and functioning.

Current medications: Take into account any medications the patient is currently taking.

ao»

Previous treatment experience: Consider the patient's history with medications
for sleepiness.

6. Long-term consequences of treatment: Consider the long-term consequences of
treatment, especially when the patient has comorbidities.

PeerVoice

Summary

EA Each person is unique, and their treatment should be tailored to their symptoms

Medications and other treatments should target not just the obvious symptoms
(eg, sleepiness) but also broader issues that impact daily life

Healthcare providers may not be aware of the broader impacts of IH, so feel free
to bring up all issues

when making treatment decisions for patients with IH

Engage patients and consider their individual perspectives in shared decision-

Incorporate the latest clinical trial data from recently FDA-approved therapies |
making discussions to enhance treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction |
