Six abstracts, including one oral presentation, underscore Jazz's ongoing commitment to generating real-
world evidence addressing rare neurological disorders, including rare and severe forms of epilepsy and
sleep disorders
DUBLIN, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ:JAZZ) today announced that the Company will present six abstracts, including one oral presentation, at the 2026 American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting, taking place April 18-22, 2026, in Chicago.
The research demonstrates the breadth of Jazz's neuroscience portfolio spanning epilepsy and sleep disorders, with new clinical data evaluating Epidiolex® (cannabidiol) in patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), Dravet syndrome (DS) or tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), or other refractory epilepsies; and Xywav® (calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium oxybates) oral solution in patients with narcolepsy.
Highlights at the 2026 AAN Annual Meeting include:
- An oral presentation showcasing results from the prespecified 6-month intermediate analysis of the ongoing EpiCom Phase 3b/4 study demonstrated reductions in the severity of caregiver- and clinician-reported behavioral problems at 26 weeks after Epidiolex treatment initiation in patients with TSC-associated seizures. Improvements were seen across the TSC-Associated Neuropsychiatric Disorders Self-Report Quantified Checklist (TAND-SQ), Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) subscale scores and Caregiver- and Clinician-Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) scales.
- A poster presentation detailing sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with persistence on Epidiolex among patients with LGS, DS, TSC, or other refractory epilepsies, based on claims analysis. This analysis of over 7,800 patients demonstrates how care variability in a non-standardized and fragmented care environment like epilepsy sheds light on the key factors that may influence whether patients remain on treatment and may help clinicians support treatment continuity.
- A poster presentation featuring an analysis of adults with narcolepsy from the open-label, single-arm DUET (Develop hypersomnia Understanding by Evaluating low-sodium oxybate Treatment) study evaluating changes in cognitive complaints, daily functioning, work productivity and overall disease burden in patients treated with Xywav dosages >9 grams per night. Improvements in these outcomes were observed in participants who optimized their Xywav dosage to >9 grams per night (up to 12 grams total) when compared to a 9 gram per night dosage. The current recommended dosage of Xywav for adults with narcolepsy is 6-9 grams per night.
