Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Double blind, randomized, parallel groups study of Pitolisant versus placebo, in narcoleptic patients experiencing EDS, and cataplexy (minimum of 3 complete or partial cataplexy attacks per week).

The patients will be treated during 7 weeks with Pitolisant or placebo.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The treatment period (7 weeks double blind) will aim at demonstrating the efficacy of Pitolisant on the number of cataplexy attacks and the Excessive Daytime Sleepiness by verifying whether the results of Pitolisant are superior to those of placebo.

The safety will also be assessed.
