- Is 18 to 70 years of age at the time of informed consent
- Is willing and able to provide informed consent before study participation, as required by local regulations and IEC requirements
- Has a BMI ≥18 and ≤40 kg/m2 at Visit 1
- In the opinion of the Investigator is experiencing an unsatisfactory clinical response and/or side effect(s) from any medications prescribed for the management of narcolepsy symptoms (including EDS), and can safely discontinue these medications for at least 14 days (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer) prior to Day 1 and for the duration of study
- Is willing and able, in the opinion of the Investigator, to understand and comply with protocol requirements, including: a. Lifestyle considerations and restrictions detailed in Section 5.3 b.

- Meets the diagnostic criteria of NT2 according to ICSD-3-TR guidelines (Section 10.11), confirmed by the diagnostic evaluations (PSG/MSLT) within the last *5 years. Additionally, meets the following protocol requirements: a. Has residual EDS (ie, ESS total score >12 at Visit 4) b. Has an MSL of ≤15 minutes across the 4 MWT trials during the Screening Period * If the past diagnostic PSG/MSLT was performed >5 years prior to Visit 1, or is otherwise not available, a repeat confirmatory assessment may be conducted by the study site during the Screening Period with the Sponsor’s prior authorization.

Idiopathic sinus tachycardia with a resting HR >100 beats per minute, confirmed on repeat testing within 30 minutes d. Uncontrolled hypertension with systolic BP >130 or diastolic BP >90 mm Hg during Visit 1. One retest is allowed. If the retest measurement is >130/90 mm Hg the subject may be rescreened once, but only after their BP has been stabilized and is ≤130/90 mm Hg for at least 30 days. See Section 8.3.4 for details on BP and HR collection.
- Has a major psychiatric or substance use disorder established in accordance with DSM-5, including: a. Disorders of schizophrenia spectrum (ie, schizophrenia, schizophreniform, schizoaffective disorder, acute or chronic psychotic disorder) b. Bipolar disorder c. Current or recent (within the last 6 months) major depressive episode d. Current or past (within the last 2 years) diagnosis of a moderate or severe substance use disorder e.
