Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events Fourth Jazz Complaint On July 15, 2022, Jazz filed another formal complaint (the “Fourth Complaint”) initiating a lawsuit in the Court against Avadel CNS. In the Fourth Complaint, Jazz alleges the Proposed Product described in the NDA owned by Avadel CNS will infringe at least one claim of the REMS Patent, which was asserted in the First Complaint. The FDA required Avadel CNS to file a Paragraph IV certification against the REMS Patent, which Avadel CNS did under protest. Avadel CNS provided the required notice of its Paragraph IV certification to Jazz, and Jazz reasserted the REMS Patent in a separate action following receipt of that notice. The Fourth Complaint further includes typical relief requests such as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, monetary damages and attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses. Administrative Procedure Act Complaint On July 21, 2022, Avadel CNS filed an Administrative Procedure Act suit against the FDA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Commissioner of Food and Drugs in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (the “DC Court”) related to the NDA for LUMRYZ (sodium oxybate). This suit alleges that the FDA’s decision requiring Avadel CNS to file a patent certification concerning the REMS Patent was arbitrary, capricious and contrary to law and asks the DC Court to vacate the FDA’s decision and order the FDA to take final action on the LUMRYZ NDA. On July 28, 2022, the DC Court granted Jazz’s unopposed motion to intervene in the case to defend the FDA’s decision. The DC Court also entered an expedited briefing schedule governing Avadel CNS’s motion for preliminary injunction or, in the alternative, summary judgment, and the FDA’s and Jazz’s oppositions to that motion and anticipated cross-motions for summary judgment. Under the DC Court’s schedule, the final briefs will be filed on September 14, 2022, and the parties were instructed to prepare for a hearing tentatively scheduled for September 30, 2022, which may be modified depending on the DC Court’s schedule.
