Pharmacokinetics of daridorexant, a dual orexin receptor antagonist, are not affected by renal impairment

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PKs), safety, and tolerability of daridorexant, a dual orexin receptor antagonist intended for the treatment of insomnia. A single‐center, open‐label study evaluated the PKs of daridorexant in pati...
