Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc Announces Completion of Enrollment in Phase 3 REVITALYZ Trial in Idiopathic Hypersomnia Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc announced the completion of patient enrollment in REVITALYZ, a Phase 3 trial evaluating LUMRYZTM (sodium oxybate) extended-release oral suspension as a potential treatment for idiopathic hypersomnia (IH). The trial is evaluating study participants switching from immediate-release oxybates as well as those not currently taking oxybates. LUMRYZ is an extended-release sodium oxybate medication approved by the FDA on May 1, 2023, as the first and only once-at-bedtime treatment for cataplexy or excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in adults with narcolepsy. The FDA approval of LUMRYZ was supported by results from REST-ON™?, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pivotal Phase 3 trial in adults with narcoleps. With its approvals in May 2023 and October 2024, the FDA also granted seven years of Orphan Drug Exclusivity to LUMRYZ for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in adults with narcole epilepsy and in pediatric patients seven years of age and older with narcolepsy respectively due to a finding of clinical superiority of LUMRYZ relative to currently available oxybate treatments. In particular, the FDA found that LUMRYZ makes a major contribution to patient care over currently available, twice-nightly oxybate products by providing a once-nightly dosing regimen that avoids nocturnal arousal to take a second dose. In June 2025, the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to LUMRYZ for The treatment of IH based on the plausible hypothesis that LUMRYZ may be clinically superior to the same drug(s) already approved for the same indication, because LUMRYZ may provide a major contribution to patient care due to its once-nightly dosing for patients with IH, a chronic sleep disorder that requires potentially lifelong treatment. LUMRYZ is only currently approved for the treatment of catap Flexy or EDS in patients seven years of age and old with narcolepsy, and Avadel does not market, promote or offer patient support services for use of LUMRYZ in any indication beyond narcolepsy.

Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc to Present New Data on LUMRYZ (sodium Oxybate) for Extended-Release Oral Suspension at World Sleep 2025 Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc announced that new data supporting the use of LUMRYZ as a narcolepsy treatment will be presented in one oral presentation and 16 posters at World Sleep 2025, taking place September 5-10, in Singapore. Additional highlights from the presentations at World Sleep 2025 include: Updated and new results from an interim descriptive analysis of data from REFRESH (n=51), a prospective multicenter, real-world study in patients with narcolepsy, including those who switched to LUMRYZ from twice-nightly and those new to oxybate or returning to oxybate after discontinuing twice-nightly oxybate. Results showed that participants experienced clinically meaningful improvements in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores, a measure of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), to within the normal range. REFRESH study participants experienced a reduction in severity from moderate at the start of the study to mild at study end for the pentad of narcolepsy symptoms measured on the Narcolepsy Severity Scale (NSS) and reduced interference across domains on the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS). After completing 4 months of therapy (switch participants, n=20; non-switch, n=31), 70% and 76% of switch participants and 90% and 87% of non-switch participants were improved on the Patient Global Impression of Change and the Clinician Global Impression of Change, respectively. Additional interim results from a study questionnaire and end of study survey showed that overall quality of life, fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and mood improved and as-needed use of stimulants was reduced. To characterize the comorbidities of patients with narcolepsy., an analysis of aggregate patient data from electronic health records (EHR) was conducted at Duke University. Results from 1,659 patients with narcolepsy and 1,659 matched controls showed sleep, pain and psychiatric or mood disorders occurred significantly more frequently in patients with Narcolepsy versus the control group (all p<0.1). LUMRYZ is an extended-release sodium oxybate medication approved by the FDA on May 1, 2023, as the first and only once-at-bedtime treatment for cataplexy or EDS in adults with narcolepsy. On October 16, 2024, LUMRYZ was additionally approved as a once-at-time treatment for cataplexY or EDS in pediatric patients seven years of age and older with narcolepsy. The FDA approval of LUMRYZ was supported by results from REST-ON™?, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pivotal Phase 3 trial in adults with narcoleps. LUMRYZ demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in the three co-primary endpoints: EDS (MWT), clinicians' overall assessment of patients' functioning (CGI-I), and cataplexy attacks, for all three evaluated doses when compared to placebo. With its dose, the single bedtime dose, demonstrated in the REFRESH study to result in clinically meaningful outcomes for both switch and naive oxybate patients. Announcement • Jul 31

ASL Strategic Value Fund Issues Open Letter to Avadel Shareholders On June 30, 2025, ASL Strategic Value Fund, LP announced that it has issued an open letter calling on Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc’s shareholders to vote against all of the Company’s director nominees up for election at the 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders scheduled for July 29, 2025.ASL Strategic Value stated that it has sent its previous letter previous letter to the Company’s board of directors dated February 10, 2025, where it has called on the Board to embark on a new course of action designed to maximize the Company’s value for all long-suffering shareholders to which the Board has failed to appropriately respond. ASL Strategic Value added that it has called on the Board to retain an investment bank to monetize the significant value inherent in the Company’s best-in-class asset LUMRYZ which has been found by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on two separate occasions to be "clinically superior" to any other sodium oxybate, just last week the FDA granted orphan drug designation for LUMRYZ for a new indication idiopathic hypersonia. The regulatory pathway for an IH approval is now quite clear, and if approved by the FDA, this additional indication could add an additional $500 million to $1 billion to the Company’s annual revenues.ASL Strategic Value stated that in its letter to the Board, dated May 14, 2025, it had negative experience in a prior the Company director election with ASL Strategic Value Fund's votes being improperly counted. In that election it approximately 1.28 million shares, which were voted against each director were not counted or disclosed in the final vote count. It was only after ASL Strategic counsel had contacted the Company about this serious omission that a corrective 8-K was later quietly filed with a corrected vote count, so to ensure that the vote at the upcoming election is fair and honest, it has called for an impartial election monitor to be appointed (with the approval of the shareholders).

Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc to Present New Data on LUMRYZ™? (sodium Oxybate) for Extended-Release Oral Suspension at Sleep 2025 Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc announced that new data supporting the use of LUMRYZ as a narcolepsy treatment and additional data to better understand the real-life experience of people living with narcolepsy will be presented in four oral presentations and 14 posters at SLEEP 2025, the 39th Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS), taking place June 8-11, 2025 in Seattle. Post-hoc analysis of the pivotal Phase 3 REST-ON clinical trial, restricted to those study participants with the most severe sleepiness at baseline as measured both objectively and subjectively, showed LUMRYZ participants with a median Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score at Week 13 that was improved to the range at or below that considered normal. Highlights from the presentations at SLEEP 2025 include: Interim REFRESH results demonstrating that among 67 patients (approximately half oxybate naïve, 37% switches from twice-nightly oxybates, and the remainder previous twice-nightly oxybate users); patients in all groups achieved clinically significant reductions in sleepiness, with normal ESS scores after starting LUMRYZ. A post-hoc analysis restricted to the most severely sleepy tertiles at baseline in REST-ON; at the end of the study, median ESS was at or below the normal threshold with LUMRYZ. A post-hoc analysis from REST-ON to quantify hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations (HH) during the trial; these aggregate data show that LUMRYZ participants reported approximately half as many HH events where they felt like they were going to be attacked, flying through the air, or falling into a hole compared to placebo. A post-hoc analysis from REST-ON demonstrating consistency of LUMRYZ efficacy across objective and subjective disrupted nighttime sleep outcomes in various subgroups (e.g., narcolepsy type 1 or 2, male or female, stimulant use). A retrospective chart analysis of patients with sleep-related eating disorder (SRED) while on twice-nightly oxybates, which was ameliorated after switching to LUMRYZ. A post hoc analysis from the stable dosing period of the RESTORE open-label study evaluating 115 participants (median treatment: 503 days) who switched from twice-nightly oxybate to LUMRYZ; side effects were consistent with the known adverse events of oxybates and only 4% of participants discontinued LUMRYZ due to a treatment-related adverse event, underscoring the long-term tolerability of LUMRYZ. A survey conducted in collaboration with MyNarcolepsyTeam of 88 respondents, revealing the need for enhanced patient-clinician discussions of oxybates as a treatment option, as well as better setting of oxybate treatment expectations to minimize discontinuations, particularly as they relate to side effects that are generally transient in nature.

Avadel Pharmaceuticals Announces Favorable Ruling in Appeal of Delaware Court Injunction Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc announced that the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit”) has ruled in favor of Avadel, overturning important parts of the injunction imposed by the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”) regarding LUMRYZ™ as a potential treatment of indications beyond narcolepsy. The Federal Circuit vacated the portion of the injunction that prohibited Avadel from applying for FDA approval of LUMRYZ for any indication beyond narcolepsy, calling the district court’s analysis “simply too speculative and tenuous.” Additionally, the Federal Circuit lifted the portions of the Delaware Court's injunction that prohibited Avadel from offering open-label extensions to trial participants using LUMRYZ and from initiating new clinical trials or studies with LUMRYZ for potential indications beyond narcolepsy. Patient enrollment in Avadel’s REVITALYZ™ trial remains on track to be completed by the end of 2025. REVITALYZ is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal, multicenter Phase 3 study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LUMRYZ given as a once-at-bedtime dose, in IH. The study will enroll approximately 150 adults who are diagnosed with IH and is open for participants switching from immediate-release oxybates and to those not currently taking oxybates.

Avadel and nference Announce Publication of Real-World Data on Sodium Oxybate Treatment Patterns in the Journal of Clinical Neuroscience Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc and nference announced the publication of real-world data on comorbidities and treatment patterns of people with narcolepsy treated versus not treated with immediate-release sodium oxybate. The paper, titled " Characterization and Treatment patterns of Patients Treated With Immediate-Release Sodium oxybate for Narcolepsy: A Propensity-Matched Cohort Study," was published online in the Journal of Clinical Neuroscience. A review of de-identified electronic health records (EHR) from patients at Mayo Clinic identified 4,387 individuals living with narcolepsy, of whom 351 had received immediate-release sodium oxybates treatment. This cohort of 351 patients with narcolepsy treated with sodium oxybate was age/sex matched with a cohort of 351 patients with narColepsy without sodium oxybate treatment. The retrospective analysis was conducted through Mayo Clinic's Clinical Data Analytics Platform, which leverages nference's AI software to provide access to curated, deidentified electronic health data in a secure, privacy-protected environment. These types of data provide a more comprehensive view of patient information than claims data alone. Other relevant findings included high rates of insomnia in both groups (approximately 43%), reflecting the frequent disruptive nighttime sleep inherent in narcolepsy," said Melissa Lipford, M.D., a neurologist at the Center for Sleep Medicine at Mayo Clinic and lead author of the published paper. The high rate of idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) diagnosis underscores the challenges with identifying between narcolepsy and IH based upon current testing. These findings also revealed insights into challenges with middle-of-the-night sodium oxybate dosing and lessened efficacy when the second dose wasomitted. Announcement • Mar 25

Avadel Pharmaceuticals Announces FDA Approval of LUMRYZ (sodium oxybate) Extended-Release Oral Suspension (CIII) for the Treatment of Cataplexy or Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Patients 7 Years of Age and Older with Narcolepsy Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for LUMRYZ for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in patients 7 years of age and older with narcolepsy. This approval represents an important milestone for the narcolepsy community, specifically for younger narcolepsy patients and their caregivers who face significant challenges associated with waking up in the middle of the night to complete treatment regimens. Symptoms of narcolepsy are EDS and may also include a sudden loss of muscle tone usually triggered by strong emotion (cataplexy), disrupted nighttime sleep, sleep paralysis and hallucinations when falling asleep or waking up. LUMRYZ is a once-at-bedtime formulation extended-release sodium oxybate and was first approved by the FDA on May 1, 2023, for the treatment of catap Flexy or EDS in adult patients with narcolepsy. LUMRYZ was approved by the FDA for use in the treatment of cataplexY or EDS in the pediatric narcolepsy population 7 years and older on October 16, 2024, and was granted Orphan Drug Exclusivity through October 16, 2031. LUMRYZ has a boxed warning as a central nervous system depressant, and for its potential for abuse and misuse. LUMRYZ is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy called the LUMRYZ REMS. Most common adverse reactions (incidence > 5% and greater than placebo) reported for all doses of LUMRYZ combined in a trial of adults with narcolepsy were nausea, dizziness, enuresis, headache, and vomiting. LUMRYZ is an extended-release sodium oxybates medication approved by the FDA on May1, 2023, as the first and only once-at-bedtime treatment for cataplexy or E DS in adults with narcolepsy.

Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc Announces Publication of Restore Data Highlighting Challenges with Twice-Nightly Oxybates and Strong Patient Preference for Once-Nightly LUMRYZ Dosing (sodium Oxybate) Extended-Release Oral Suspension (CIII) Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc announced the publication of final data from the RESTORE open-label/switch study, demonstrating that people with narcolepsy prefer once-at-bedtime LUMRYZ versus a twice-nightly immediate-release oxybate treatment option. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved LUMRYZ in 2023 as the first and only once-nightly oxybate, which marked a significant milestone for people with narcolepsy, as twice-nightly oxybates were the only other oxybate options available for more than 20 years. Initial and end-of-study survey data from RESTORE were previously presented in April 2022 at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting and in June 2024 at SLEEP 2024. Of the 129 switch participants who completed the nocturnal adverse events questionnaire at baseline: 69% reported missing their second oxybate dose, and of those participants, 80% felt that control of their symptoms was worse the next day compared to days after which they had taken both doses as prescribed. More than half (51%) of the 51 participants who took their second nightly oxybate dose more than four hours after the first dose reported feeling somewhat to extremely groggy or unsteady the next morning. 92% reported getting out of bed after taking their second dose of oxybate, with 7.5% of those reporting falling after waking up for the second dose, and 4.2% reporting injuries. 23% of participants stated they required another person to wake with them in the middle of the night to ensure they took the second dose of their twice-nightly oxybate dosing. Of the 68 switch participants who completed the end-of-study questionnaire: 79% were very satisfied with LUMRYZ compared to other narcolepsy treatments they had previously taken. 93% would recommend LUMRYZ to a family member or friend with narcolepsy. 91% said they were better able to sleep through the night since starting treatment with LUMRYZ. 91% said they were best able to follow the recommended medication schedule of LUMRYZ than their previous oxybate.

Avadel Pharmaceuticals Shares New LUMRYZ (sodium Oxybate) for Extended-Release Oral Suspension (CIII) Data at Sleep 2024 Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc announced it will present 11 posters, and one oral presentation, supporting the use of LUMRYZ as a narcolepsy treatment option at SLEEP 2024, the 38th annual joint meeting of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society on June 1-5, 2024, in Houston. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2023, LUMRYZ is the first and only extended-release formulation of sodium oxybate and indicated to be taken once at bedtime for the treatment of cataplexy or excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in adults with narcolepsy. LUMRYZ has a boxed warning as a central nervous system depressant, and for its potential for abuse and misuse. LUMRYZ is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy called the LUMRYZ REMS. Most common adverse reactions (incidence >5% and greater than placebo) reported for all doses of LUMRYZ combined were nausea, dizziness, enuresis, headache, and vomiting. Highlights from the presentations of new data presented at the meeting include: End-of-study survey data from the RESTORE open-label/switch study demonstrating that patients experienced a high level of satisfaction with once-at-bedtime LUMRYZ, including improved symptom control, an improvement in dosing adherence and a preference for LUMRYZ over twice-nightly oxybate treatment options. Findings from a human factor study revealing that individuals with narcolepsy, regardless of their prior experience with oxybate treatment, can successfully follow the label instructions for safe use of LUMRYZ. Data showing consistent and acceptable dissolution of LUMRYZ at prescribed doses in various flavored liquids, which may be preferred by some patients as alternatives to water. Post hoc analysis from Avadel’s completed pivotal REST-ON clinical trial that showed treatment with LUMRYZ improved symptoms of EDS and cataplexy in people with narcolepsy regardless of gender. A poster comparing baseline narcolepsy characteristics among three age groups (youngest: 16–25 years of age; middle: 26–34 years of age; oldest: 35–72 years of age) of participants from the REST-ON clinical trial which indicated that baseline measures of EDS were similar among age groups. Additionally, objective data from polysomnography showed worse disrupted nighttime sleep (DNS) in older participants, indicating DNS may worsen with age. Findings from a social listening analysis of content posted on MyNarcolepsyTeam, a social network for people with narcolepsy, which concluded that gaining a better understanding of patient experiences and self-management strategies enables sleep specialists to more effectively identify challenges and needs of patients, leading to quicker diagnoses and tailored treatments.
