Description

Alkermes stock plummeted despite positive news on a new narcolepsy drug, alixorexton. The drug showed significant improvements in alertness and reduced daytime sleepiness in a study, with higher doses being statistically significant. Despite investor concerns, 95% of patients chose to continue with an extension study. Alixorexton is the first oral drug to show effectiveness in both narcolepsy types and was generally well-tolerated. Alkermes plans to share more results and start a global study in 2026.
