Safety and Efficacy of VEC-162 on Circadian Rhythm in Healthy Adult Volunteers

August 8, 2014 updated by: Vanda Pharmaceuticals

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-center Study of the Effects of VEC-162 on Circadian Rhythm in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of VEC-162 compared to matching placebo on circadian phase shift and sleep parameters.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Circadian Phase Shift
Time Frame: Night 3 and Night 4
Exposure response to VEC-162 on induction of circadian phase shift as measured by Dim Light Melatonin Onset (DLMO) was defined as the time change between Night 3 and Night 4 when melatonin production reached 25% of the maximum melatonin concentration. Samples below LOQ of the melatonin assay were assigned 5 pg/ml.
Night 3 and Night 4
Mean Sleep Efficiency
Time Frame: Night 4 and Night 2
Exposure response was measured by comparing the change in sleep efficiencies of VEC-162 and placebo treated subjects upon a sleep schedule phase advance. Sleep efficiency (total time asleep divided by the time allowed as an opportunity for sleep in a period multiplied by 100%, where time allowed for sleep was 8 hours or 480 minutes) was measured objectively by overnight polysomnographic recordings. Sleep efficiency was also compared in parts of the night by dividing the full night into thirds.
Night 4 and Night 2

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO), and Latency to Persistent Sleep (LPS)
Time Frame: Night 2 and Night 4

Wake After Sleep Onset is defined as the total time that is scored as awake in a PSG occurring between sleep onset and lights-on prompt.

Latency to Persistent Sleep is defined as the number of epochs (one 30-second interval of the sleep episode) from the beginning of the recording (lights-out) to the start of persistent sleep (first 20 consecutive non-wake state) divided by 2.
Night 2 and Night 4
VEC-162 AUC
Time Frame: Night 4
Night 4
VEC-162 Cmax
Time Frame: Night 4
Night 4
VEC-162 Tmax
Time Frame: Night 4
