Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of MK-6096 compared with placebo in improving sleep efficiency (SE) as measured by polysomnography (PSG) on Night 1 and at the end of 4 weeks of treatment, where SE is defined as 100 times total sleep time (minutes) divided by time in bed (minutes). And, to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MK-6096.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of MK-6096 compared with placebo in improving wake after sleep onset (WASO) as measured by PSG on Night 1 and at the end of 4 weeks of treatment. And, to evaluate the efficacy of MK-6096 compared with placebo in improving latency to persistent sleep (LPS) as measured by PSG on Night 1 and at the end of 4 weeks of treatment.;Primary end point(s): Sleep efficiency (SE) at Night 1 and at the end of 4 weeks of treatment, as derived from total sleep time (TST), based on polysomnography (PSG) results
