4. september 2018 oppdatert av: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A 6-Month, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Outpatient Trial, Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of Org 50081 in Adult Patients With Chronic Primary Insomnia

To investigate the long-term efficacy and safety of treatment with esmirtazapine (Org 50081, SCH 900265, MK-8265) compared to placebo, in participants with chronic primary insomnia. Primary efficacy variable is Total Sleep Time (TST).

Detaljert beskrivelse

Insomnia is a common complaint or disorder throughout the world. About one third of the population in the industrial countries reports difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, resulting in a non-refreshing or non-restorative sleep. The majority of the insomniacs suffer chronically from their complaints.

The maleic acid salt of Org 4420, code name Org 50081 (esmirtazapine), was selected for development in the treatment of insomnia. The first clinical trial with esmirtazapine was a proof-of-concept trial with a four-way cross-over design. All 3 esmirtazapine dose groups showed a statistically significant positive effect on TST (objective and subjective) and Wake Time After Sleep Onset (WASO), as compared to placebo.

The current study is designed to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of esmirtazapine in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group outpatient trial in participants suffering from chronic primary insomnia. During the 6-month treatment period, participants are randomly assigned to receive either esmirtazapine or placebo. Then, during the 7-day discontinuation period, participants who received esmirtazapine in the 6-month treatment period are randomly assigned to receive either esmirtazapine or placebo, while participants who received placebo in the 6-month treatment period continue to receive placebo.

Tiltaksbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Change From Baseline in Total Sleep Time (TST) - 6-Month Treatment Period
Tidsramme: Baseline and the Mean of Weeks 14-26
TST was defined as the time recorded for sleep diary question 6 "How much time did you actually spend sleeping?" as reported by participants using a LogPad (hand-held electronic data capture device). Baseline was defined as the mean TST from the Placebo Run-in Period. Change from Baseline was calculated as the mean of combined data from Weeks 14 through 26, using a last observation carried forward (LOCF) approach.

Tidsramme: Baseline and Week 26
SF-36 is a participant-rated questionnaire that consists of 8 scaled scores: vitality, physical functioning, bodily pain, general health perceptions, physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, social role functioning, and mental health, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each of the 8 questions carries equal weight. The SF-36 can be divided into 2 aggregate summary measures: the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS). The scores can range from 0 to 100, with a lower score indicating more disability. Baseline was defined as the SF-36 score assessed at randomization.
