The main aim is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TAK-861 in participants with type 1 narcolepsy, who were exposed to previously tested doses of TAK-861.
The drug being tested in this trial is called TAK-861. TAK-861 is being tested to treat people who have narcolepsy type 1 (NT1). This trial will look at the safety of TAK-861 along with improvement in narcolepsy symptoms, including excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and number of cataplexy episodes. This trial was initiated in parallel with the parent phase 2 trials, TAK-861-2001 (NCT05687903) and TAK-861-2002 (NCT05687916), which included participants with NT1 and narcolepsy type 2 (NT2), respectively. This long-term extension (LTE) trial enrolled participants with both diagnoses from the two phase 2 trials. As the TAK-861-2002 trial did not meet prespecified criteria, all participants with NT2 were discontinued, and moving forward this extension study only includes participants with NT1 who previously completed a parent trial. Parent trials include all TAK-861 phase 3 trials in addition to the phase 2 trial participants from TAK-861-2001. The trial will enroll up to 500 participants. All participants in the trial will receive TAK-861. Participants who were previously on a placebo dose will be assigned to one of the TAK-861 doses randomly. This multi-center trial will be conducted worldwide. Study period is approximately 5 years or until the study is stopped at the sponsor's discretion, or the product is approved and launched. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic (with some visits optionally conducted by home health) and will have a follow-up assessment 4 weeks after the last dose of trial intervention.

Number of Participants With at Least One or More Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g., a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A TEAE is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving trial intervention.
Time frame: From signing the informed consent form up to follow-up of 4 weeks after the last dose (Up to approximately 5 years)
Change from Baseline in the Parent Trial in Mean Sleep Latency from the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT)
The MWT evaluates a person's ability to remain awake under soporific conditions. Because there is no biological measure of wakefulness, wakefulness is measured indirectly by the tendency to fall asleep. This tendency to fall asleep is measured via electroencephalography-derived sleep latency in the MWT. The MWT consists of four 40-minute sessions done 2 hours apart. Sleep latency in each session will be recorded. Participants will be required to stay awake in between the 4 sessions.
Time frame: Baseline (parent trial), Week 26 (current LTE trial)
Change from Baseline in the Parent Trial in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) Total Score
The ESS provides individuals with 8 different situations of daily life and asks them how likely they are to fall asleep in those situations (scored 0 to 3) and to try to imagine their likelihood of dozing even if they have not actually been in the identical situation; the scores are summed to give an overall score of 0 to 24. Higher scores indicate stronger subjective daytime sleepiness, and scores below 10 are considered to be within the normal range.
Time frame: Baseline (parent trial); Week 2 through Year 5 (current LTE trial)

Change from Baseline in the Parent Trial in Weekly Cataplexy Rate (WCR) Using the Patient-reported Cataplexy Diary
Participants will record episodes of cataplexy in the diary throughout the trial.
