OSAKA, Japan & CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Takeda (TSE:4502/NYSE:TAK) today announced that all primary and secondary endpoints were met in two Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of oveporexton (TAK-861), a potential first-in-class investigational oral orexin receptor 2 (OX2R)-selective agonist, in narcolepsy type 1 (NT1). NT1 is caused by the loss of orexin-producing neurons in the brain. Orexin agonists are designed to address this underlying orexin deficiency.
