ClinConnect Summary

Subjects will be transitioned to JZP-258 based on their treatment status at study entry. All subjects will begin JZP-258 treatment at the beginning of this period and continue through Week 12. They will be treated with JZP-258 alone for the final two weeks of this 12-week period. Once the JZP-258 dose has been optimized per the Investigator's judgment, these subjects may enter the 2-week Stable-Dose Period with that dose. Subjects are eligible to enter the Double-Blind Randomized-Withdrawal Period if the dose of JZP-258 remains unchanged during the Stable-Dose Period and, in the judgment of...

• • 1. Narcolepsy secondary to another medical condition (e.g., CNS injury or lesion)
• • 2. History or presence of any unstable or clinically significant medical condition, behavioral or psychiatric disorder (including active suicidal ideation), or history or presence of another neurological disorder or surgical history that might affect the subject's safety and/or interfere with the conduct of the study in the opinion of the Investigator.

• • 4. Treatment with an antidepressant for cataplexy, if the withdrawal of the antidepressant during cross-titration with JZP-258 might be unsafe due to prior history of depression.
