Mini-quiz: The Value of Wake Therapy

Alkermes launches a phase 2 trial of oral orexin-2 agonist ALKS 7290 to boost antidepressant response in major depressive disorder, assessing safety and symptom relief.

Phase 2 trial shows daridorexant boosts pediatric insomnia sleep time up to 50 minutes, including ADHD/ASD patients, with strong safety and phase 3 plans.

Sleep disruption fuels Alzheimer risk via apnea, fragmentation, and inflammation; improving consolidated sleep, medication review, and sleep-specialist teamwork may protect cognition.

The evidence points toward an overall protective effect in adult cohorts and no increase in completed suicide in younger populations.

Phase 2 data show RAP-219 eases acute bipolar mania with significant YMRS gains and encouraging tolerability, setting the stage for FDA talks and phase 3 plans.

This study compared the efficacy and tolerability of the 5 second-generation antipsychotics that are currently FDA approved as adjunctive treatments for adults with MDD.

Real-world data show TRD costs spike during resistant episodes; Compass’ psilocybin COMP360 delivers durable symptom relief through 26 weeks, potentially easing resource strain.
