About PEACE

An expanded access program (EAP) that allows for the treatment of adult patients with the symptoms of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and/or cataplexy associated with narcolepsy (type 1 or type 2).

  • Pitolisant* is a novel, selective, orally active histamine H3 receptor antagonist/inverse agonist.
  • Through the enhancement of histaminergic transmission in the brain, pitolisant* has been shown to exhibit strong waking effects and improved attention levels in animal studies.
  • Pitolisant* was approved in Europe in March 2016 for the treatment of adult patients with narcolepsy with or without cataplexy (type 1 and type 2); however, it is not currently approved for use in the U.S.
  • More information about pitolisant* will be made available after you register as a participating physician in the PEACE Program.
  • As with any investigational medication that has not been approved by the FDA, pitolisant* may or may not be effective in treating your patients’ condition and there may be risks [learn more button/link] associated with its use.
  • If you would like more information on EAPs, please visit the Expanded Access Program Information for Physicians.
  • Patients who participate in the PEACE program will receive pitolisant* at no cost.

  • Costs for routine medical care while participating in the program are not reimbursed by Harmony Biosciences, LLC and will need to be covered by the patient’s insurance or at his/her own expense.
