What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of ORX750 in treating participants diagnosed with Narcolepsy Type 1, Narcolepsy Type 2, or Idiopathic Hypersomnia, conditions characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness. Participants aged 18-65 will be recruited and must be willing to discontinue any current medications for their conditions.
