The purpose of Idorsia is to challenge accepted medical paradigms, answering the questions that matter most.

To achieve this, we will discover, develop, and commercialize transformative medicines – either with in-house capabilities or together with partners – and evolve Idorsia into a leading biopharmaceutical company, with a strong scientific core.

Chronic insomnia disorder is a condition of overactive wake signaling, which can have a profound effect on patients’ lives. It can be defined as a combination of dissatisfaction with sleep quantity or quality and a significant negative impact on daytime functioning. It involves difficulty initiating and/or maintaining sleep at least three times a week for a minimum of three months.

Chronic insomnia disorder as a persistent disorder is quite different from a brief period of poor sleep, and it can take its toll on both physical and mental health. Idorsia’s research has shown that poor-quality sleep can affect many aspects of daily life, including the ability to concentrate, mood, and energy levels.

Chronic insomnia disorder is a common problem, with the prevalence being approximately 10%.
