Other names: pitolisant delayed-release (DR), pitolisant hydrochloride

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of participants who discontinue treatment due to a treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) related to study drug

    Time frame: From administration of the first dose of study drug (Day 1) through 30 days after the final dose of study drug, approximately 44 days

    A TEAE is any adverse event (AE) reported after the first dose of study drug, or any worsening of a pre-existing condition reported after first dose of study drug.

  2. Frequency, severity, and seriousness of TEAEs

    Time frame: From administration of the first dose of study drug (Day 1) through 30 days after the final dose of study drug, approximately 44 days

    A TEAE is any adverse event (AE) reported after the first dose of study drug, or any worsening of a pre-existing condition reported after first dose of study drug.
