              Narcolepsy

              Cautions

              CNS depression and daytime impairment

              • CNS depressant that can impair daytime wakefulness even when used as prescribed
              • CNS depression may persist and affect next-day tasks (eg, driving ability)
              • CNS depression may persist in some patients for several days after discontinuing
              • Coadministration with other CNS depressants may increase risk

              Sleep paralysis, hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations, cataplexy-like symptoms

              • Sleep paralysis, an inability to move or speak for up to several minutes during sleep-wake transitions, and hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations, including vivid and disturbing perceptions, can occur
              • Mild cataplexy can occur, with symptoms that include periods of leg weakness lasting from seconds to a few minutes

              Complex sleep behaviors

              • Complex sleep behaviors, including sleepwalking, sleep-driving, and engaging in other activities while not fully awake (eg, preparing and eating food, making phone calls, having sex), reported with hypnotic use
              • Events can occur in hypnotic-naïve as well as in hypnotic-experienced persons
              • Patients usually do not remember these events
              • Complex sleep behaviors may occur following the first or any subsequent use of lemborexant, with or without concomitant use of alcohol and other CNS depressants
              • Discontinue immediately if patient experiences a complex sleep behavior

              Compromised respiratory function

              • Studied in mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in short-term clinical trials
              • Studies have shown that clinically meaningful respiratory effects in patients with compromised respiratory function cannot be excluded; consider effect on respiratory function if prescribed to patients with compromised respiratory function; not studied in COPD patients with FEV1 <30% predicted

              Worsening depression/suicidal ideation

              • In primarily depressed patients treated with hypnotics, worsening of depression and suicidal thoughts and actions (including completed suicides) have been reported
              • Monitor for new behavioral signs or symptoms

              Comorbid diagnoses

              • Evaluate for comorbid diagnoses where insomnia may be presenting manifestation of a medial and/or psychiatric disorder
              • Failure of insomnia to remit after 7-10 days of treatment may indicate presence of a primary psychiatric and/or medical illness that should be evaluated
              • Worsening of insomnia or emergence of new cognitive or behavioral abnormalities may be result of an unrecognized underlying psychiatric or medical disorder

              Drug interaction overview

              • CNS depressants
                • Avoid coadministration
                • Coadministration with other CNS depressants (eg, benzodiazepines, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, alcohol) increases the risk of CNS depression, which can cause daytime impairment
                • Coadministration with alcohol increases lemborexant peak plasma concentration and AUC and produced a numerically greater negative impact on postural stability and memory as compared with alcohol alone
              • Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors
                • Avoid coadministration
                • Coadministration with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor increases lemborexant AUC and peak plasma concentration which may increase the risk of lemborexant adverse reactions
              • Weak CYP3A inhibitors
                • Modify lemborexant dose
                • Do not exceed 5 mg/night if coadministered with weak CYP3A inhibitors (eg, chlorzoxazone, ranitidine)
              • CYP3A inducers
                • Avoid coadministration
                • Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer decreases lemborexant exposure, which may reduce lemborexant efficacy
              • CYP2B6 substrates
                • Consider increasing CYP2B6 substrate dose as recommended in prescribing information
                • Coadministration decreases AUC of CYP2B6 substrates
                • Check prescribing information for CYP2B6 substrate for dosage recommendations if coadministered

              Pregnancy & Lactation

              Pregnancy

              Data are not available on use in pregnant women to evaluate for drug-associated risks of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes

              Clinicians are encouraged to register patients in the Dayvigo pregnancy registry by calling 1-888-274-2378

              Animal studies

              • Rats
                • Lemborexant was administered orally to pregnant rats during organogenesis in 2 studies at doses of 60, 200, and 600 mg/kg/day or 20, 60, and 200 mg/kg/day, which are approximately 6 to >300 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) based on AUC

                • Lemborexant caused maternal toxicity, manifested by decreased body weight and food consumption, decreased mean fetal body weight, an increased number of dead fetuses, and skeletal, external, and visceral malformations (omphalocele, cleft palate, and membranous ventricular septal defect) at >300 times the MRHD based on AUC

                • Lemborexant was administered orally to pregnant rats during pregnancy and lactation at doses of 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg/day, which are approximately 15-206 times the MRHD based on AUC

                • Lemborexant caused maternal toxicity that consisted of decreased body weight and food consumption and toxicity to offspring consisting of decreased pup body weights, decreased femur length, and decreased acoustic startle responses at 206 times the MRHD based on AUC
              • Rabbits
                • Lemborexant was administered orally to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis at doses of 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg/day, which are approximately 7-139 times the MRHD based on AUC

                • Lemborexant caused maternal toxicity that consisted of decreased body weight and food consumption and a higher incidence of skeletal variations (presence of cervical ribs and supernumerary lung lobes) at approximately 139 times the MRHD based on AUC

              Lactation

              Lactation

              Available data from a lactation study in 8 women indicates that the drug is transferred into the breastmilk of nursing mothers; results have established a mean daily infant dose of 0.0029 mg/kg/day and a relative infant dose of less than 2% of the maternal dose; These data support that transfer of this drug into breastmilk is low

              There are no data on effects of this drug on breastfed infant, or effects on milk production; monitor infants exposed through breastmilk for excessive sedation

              Consider the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding along with the mother’s clinical need for the drug and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from the drug or from the underlying maternal condition

              Pregnancy Categories

              A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

              B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

              C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

              D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

              X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

              NA: Information not available.

              Peak plasma concentration: 1-3 hr

              Food (high-fat, high-calorie meal) decreases peak plasma concentration by 23%, AUC by 18%, and delays peak plasma time by 2 hr

              Distribution

              Protein bound: ~94%

              Vd: 1970 L

              Blood-plasma ratio: 0.65

              Metabolism

              CYP3A4 (primary); CYP3A5 (less extent)

              Major circulating metabolite: M10

              Elimination

              Half-life: 17 hr (5 mg); 19 hr (10 mg)
