Harmony Biosciences announced a collaboration with Beacon Biosignals, which deals in AI-driven neurophysiology and precision drug development, to incorporate quantitative electroencephalography, or EEG, measurements into two of Harmony's Phase 3 studies of HBS-301 for Narcolepsy and Idiopathic Hypersomnia. The collaboration will support Harmony's primary objective of assessing excessive daytime sleepiness by complementing traditional patient-reported outcomes, such as the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, with objective sleep EEG data. Through this study, Beacon's FDA 510(k)-cleared Waveband EEG headband and AI-driven algorithms will be used to capture at-home brain data across consecutive nights of sleep. Additionally, it will assess daytime sleepiness with continuous EEG data enabled by the Waveband's wireless, low-profile design. The addition of quantitative EEG-based endpoints aims to allow for more robust characterization of both daytime and nighttime sleep patterns.

Harmony Biosciences Expands Wakix Patent Life with New Treatments
- Wakix Success: Harmony Biosciences' Wakix narcolepsy treatment has been highly successful, nearing blockbuster status, but is expected to lose patent exclusivity in 2030, prompting the company to seek new variants to extend patent protection.
- New Drug Application Plans: Harmony aims to submit a new drug application for Pitolisant GR to the FDA by Q1 2027, which could extend patent protection into the 2040s, thereby enhancing its competitive position in the narcolepsy market.
- Clinical Trial Progress: Pitolisant HD is currently in phase 3 trials for treating idiopathic hypersomnia, with topline data expected in 2027, and a successful outcome could pave the way for FDA approval in 2028, expanding treatment indications.
- Multiple Treatment Exploration: Harmony is also conducting clinical trials for BP1.15205 and EPX-100, with the former expected to provide data by mid-year, while EPX-100 has shown significant reductions in seizure frequency among Dravet Syndrome patients, potentially leading to FDA approval in 2028 if results are favorable.
