It is an orally active small-molecule compound with an elimination half-life of 3.3 to 6.5 hours and acts as a selective orexin OX1 receptor antagonist (1-SORA).[4][1][2]
As of May 2022, the drug is in phase 2 clinical trials for binge eating disorder.[4] Following negative efficacy results of a phase 2 trial of nivasorexant for binge eating disorder, Idorsia (the developer of nivasorexant) signaled in May 2022 that it would not pursue further development of the drug for this indication.[8]
