    Introduction

    Excessive daytime sleepiness is a common complaint among those with sleep-related problems. Excessive daytime sleepiness itself is not a disorder. However, it can be a symptom caused by other medical problems. These are conditions like narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and Parkinson disease. People with daytime sleepiness describe feeling drowsy or sluggish most of the time. These symptoms can interfere with work or school. They also can increase the risk of accidents on the road or at work. The first step in treating daytime sleepiness is evaluating its underlying cause. In some cases, medication may be an appropriate treatment. This policy describes when medications may be medically necessary for specific types of sleep disorders and excessive daytime sleepiness.

    Note: The Introduction section is for your general knowledge and is not to be taken as policy coverage criteria. The rest of the policy uses specific words and concepts familiar to medical professionals. It is intended for providers. A provider can be a person, such as a doctor, nurse, psychologist, or dentist.

    Evidence Review

    Background

    Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is defined as the inability to stay awake and alert during usual waking hours that occurs almost daily and persists for at least three months. Among obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, men are twice as likely as women to suffer from EDS. Approximately 7.5 million Americans suffer from EDS due to OSA or narcolepsy. EDS puts patients at increased risk of impaired cognitive functioning and accidental injuries, as well as decreased work productivity and quality of life. Tiredness, fatigue, and lack of energy are common complaints. The potential causes of EDS are numerous and fall under several general classifications: central disorders (eg, narcolepsy), breathing disorders (eg, OSA), circadian rhythm issues (eg, jet lag), movement disorders (eg, restless leg syndrome), psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, and various diseases (eg, Parkinson).

    Summary of Evidence

    Xyrem® (sodium oxybate)

    Xyrem® (sodium oxybate) is a CNS depressant. The mechanism of action of Xyrem in the treatment of narcolepsy is unknown. Sodium oxybate is the sodium salt of gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), an endogenous compound and metabolite of the neurotransmitter GABA. Abuse or misuse of illicit GHB is associated with CNS adverse reactions, including seizure, respiratory depression, decreased consciousness, coma and death. It is hypothesized that the therapeutic effects of Xyrem on cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness are mediated

  • Page | 11 of 16 ∞

    through GABA-B actions at noradrenergic and dopaminergic neurons, as well as at thalamocortical neurons. Xyrem is a Schedule III controlled substance. Because of its abuse/diversion potential, it is only available from a single pharmacy through a limited distribution scheme, the Xyrem Success Program. Both prescribers and patients must be registered in this program to obtain the drug. Serious side effects observed in patients taking Xyrem include hallucinations, agitation, severe confusion, abnormal thinking, sleep disturbances and depression.

    The efficacy of Xyrem in the treatment of cataplexy was evaluated in two 4-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group trials, n=136 and 55 respectively. The high percentages of concomitant stimulant use in these studies make it impossible to assess the efficacy and safety independent of stimulant use. Doses of 6-9 g per night resulted in statistically significant reductions in frequency of cataplexy attacks. The 3 g per night dose had little effect. Overall, the evidence supporting this indication is of low quality.

    The efficacy of Xyrem in the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with narcolepsy was evaluated in an 8-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, n=228. Most of these patients were also being treated with CNS stimulants. Statistically significant improvements in Epworth Sleepiness Scores (ESS) were seen with 6 and 9 g doses. A second multicenter randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial evaluated 222 patients on modafinil at baseline, who were randomized to placebo, Xyrem, modafinil, or Xyrem plus modafinil. Xyrem dose was 6g per night for 4 weeks, followed by 9g per night for 4 weeks. Modafinil was continued in the modafinil groups at the patient’s prior dose. A statistically significant improvement in in the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) score from baseline at Week 8 was seen in the Xyrem and Xyrem plus modafinil groups compared to placebo. The trial was not designed to compare Xyrem with modafinil.

    Studies have been conducted to demonstrate the efficacy of Xyrem in fibromyalgia patients; however, all of these have been placebo-controlled. In 2010, FDA rejected an application for use in fibromyalgia. FDA panel members expressed serious concerns about the potential for abuse and diversion of sodium oxybate. This concern was felt to outweigh any benefits that might accrue and is supported by the lack of any head-to-head comparison with alternative treatments for fibromyalgia, none of which have the level of abuse potential seen with Xyrem.

    Sunosi™ (solriamfetol)

    The mechanism of action of Sunosi™ (solriamfetol) is unclear; however, it’s efficacy could be mediated through its activity as a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. The

  • Page | 12 of 16 ∞

    published pivotal trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of Sunosi in excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) are referred to as the TONES trials (Treatment of OSA and Narcolepsy Excessive Sleepiness). TONES 2 is a fair quality, unpublished, randomized controlled trial (RCT) that enrolled 239 adults with narcolepsy and EDS. Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) was improved in all Sunosi groups compared to placebo, but these differences were statistically significant in only the 300mg and 150mg groups (12.3 and 9.8 vs. 2.1, p

  • Page | 13 of 16 ∞

    placebo. Treatment lasted 8 weeks: 3 weeks of tapering dosing according to response (10 mg, 20mg, or 40 mg a day of pitolisant; 100 mg, 200 mg, or 400 mg a day of modafinil) followed by 5 weeks of stable dosing. There were two primary endpoints being difference in change in Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) score between pitolisant and placebo group after 8-week treatment period (superiority test) and difference in change in (ESS) score between pitolisant and modafinil after 8-week treatment period (non-inferiority test). The mean difference in ESS score of -3.0 (95% CI -5.6 to -0.4 p=0.024) showed pitolisant to be superior to placebo, but not non-inferior to modafinil with an ESS score mean difference of 0.12 (95% CI -2.5 to 2.7 p=0.250). The non-inferiority margin was 2 ESS points. Maintenance of wakefulness test (MWT) values improved in pitolisant groups compared to placebo’s mean difference of 1.47 (1.01 to 2.14, p=0.044), but no statistically significant difference compared to modafinil with a mean difference of 0.77 (0.52 to 1.13, p=0.173). The total sustained attention to response task (SART) score showed no difference in changes from baseline between either pitolisant versus placebo or pitolisant versus modafinil. The proportion of patients who had improved in excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) assessed with the clinical global impression of change (CGI-C) by the end of treatment was largest in modafinil group (86%), then pitolisant group (73%), and smallest in placebo group (56%). There was also little difference in severity of cataplexy assessed with CGI-C. European quality of life questionnaire (EQ-5D) values were much the same in the 3 groups, whereas the patients local impression on treatment improved only slightly more for pirolisant or modafinil than for placebo.

    HARMONY CPT is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted in 9 countries (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Macedonia, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Turkey, and Ukraine). Similar to HARMONY I, after 14 days of washout period, patients were randomized (1:1) to either receive pitolisant or placebo once per day. Treatment was 7 weeks: 3 weeks of tapering dosing based on efficacy and tolerance (5 mg, 10 mg, or 12 mg pitolisant), followed by 4 weeks of stable dosing (5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, or 40 mg). The primary endpoint was change in average weekly cataplexy rate (WCR). Pitolisant reduced cataplexy by 75% (WCR = 0.25), which is more than placebo did (38%, WCR=0.62).

    The most common adverse reaction for pitolisant were headaches (35%), insomnia (10%), nausea (6%), and anxiety (5%). Pitolisant is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment and should be administered with caution in patients with moderate hepatic impairment or renal impairment. There is a risk of mild to moderate prolongation of QTc interval with supratherapeutic doses of pitolisant, therefore monitoring is required in patients with cardiac disease, those taking other QT-prolonging medication, and medications known to increase pitolisant levels (CYP2D6 inhibitors).

    Ongoing and Unpublished Clinical Trials

    An unpublished meta-analysis of six randomized control trials involving subjects with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) showed there was no clinically meaningful difference in Epworth Sleepiness Score (ESS) outcomes between Sunosi 150mg daily and modafinil 200mg or 400mg daily [-1.7 (95% CI -3.3, -0.01) and -1.7 (-3.3, -0.04), respectively]. The forty-minute Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) results were not shown for modafinil, so could not be compared to Sunosi trial results.

    2020 Update

    Reviewed prescribing information for all drugs in policy and the diagnostic criteria for narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea. Added criteria that Xyrem® (sodium oxybate), Sunosi™ (solriamfetol), and Wakix® (pitolisant) are not to be used as combination therapy with each other as efficacy and safety has not been evaluated. No additional changes were identified for policy.
