The data, which largely buttress already-approved agents, ranged from describing the real-world impact of Xywav (calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium oxybates) on idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) patients, to the long-term efficacy of its cannabis-derived Epidiolex (cannabidiol) on treatment-resistant epilepsies.
