Primary Insomnia
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a multicenter study to test the hypothesis that suvorexant (MK-4305) is superior to placebo in improving insomnia as measured by change from baseline in: subjective total sleep time and time to sleep onset, wake time after persistent sleep onset, and latency to onset of persistent sleep. Participants who complete the initial 3-month Treatment (TRT) Phase may participate in an optional 3-month Extension (EXT) Phase.
Interventions
Suvorexant 40 mg + placebo matching suvorexant 20 mg for participants \<65 years old; Suvorexant 30 mg + placebo matching suvorexant 15 mg for participants ≥65 years old; all study drug is tablet for oral administration, taken once daily at bedtime. Participants receive this dose during the 3-month TRT Phase and, if applicable, the optional 3-month EXT Phase. During the 1-week double-blind (DB) Run-out (RO) following the TRT/EXT phase, participants in this study arm receive the noted suvorexant dose or placebo, in a 1:1 ratio. During the 2-week single-blind Run-in period prior to randomization all participants receive placebo to suvorexant once daily at bedtime.

DRUGComparator: Placebo
Matching placebos to suvorexant 40 mg and 20 mg for participants \<65 years old; matching placebos to suvorexant 30 mg and 15 mg for participants ≥65 years old; all study drug is tablet for oral administration, taken once daily at bedtime. Placebo is a third treatment arm for comparison to the two active (suvorexant) treatment arms during the 3-month TRT Phase and, if applicable, the optional 3-month EXT Phase. During the 1-week DB RO following the TRT/EXT phase, participants in this study arm continue to receive placebo. During the 2-week single-blind Run-in period prior to randomization all participants receive placebo to suvorexant once daily at bedtime.

Suvorexant HD Versus Placebo: Change From Baseline in Latency to Onset of Persistent Sleep (LPS) at Month 1
LPS is measured during overnight sleep laboratory (PSG) assessments at baseline, Night 1, Month 1 and Month 3, and is defined as the duration of time from the beginning of PSG assessment (Lights-Off) to the first interval of 10 consecutive minutes of sleep. Beginning of PSG assessment (Lights-Off) is at approximately the participant's habitual bedtime. The participant is awakened, or allowed to get out of bed if already awake, after 8 hours of PSG recording (Lights-On). PSG assessments consist of electronic measurement of brain activity and eye and muscle movements. PSG data was scored by a Centralized PSG reading center.
Time frame: Baseline and Month 1
Population: Randomized participants with ≥1 post-randomization PSG observation after ≥1 dose of study drug, and baseline data were included in this analysis. The Primary hypothesis included only the suvorexant HD-placebo comparison.
| Arm | Measure | Value (LEAST_SQUARES_MEAN) |
|---|---|---|
| Suvorexant HD | Suvorexant HD Versus Placebo: Change From Baseline in Latency to Onset of Persistent Sleep (LPS) at Month 1 | -34.5 minutes |
| Placebo | Suvorexant HD Versus Placebo: Change From Baseline in Latency to Onset of Persistent Sleep (LPS) at Month 1 | -23.3 minutes |
Comparison: The null hypothesis, that suvorexant HD did not differ from placebo for Month 1 LPS, had planned marginal power of 81.4%. Sleep maintenance (sTSTm, WASO) and sleep onset (sTSOm, LPS) endpoints were tested at two-sided 2.5% significance level. Both Month 1 endpoints for sleep maintenance must be significant to test Month 3 endpoints; the same approach was used for sleep onset endpoints.p-value: 0.0000295% CI: [-16.3, -6.1]Longitudinal Data Analysis

Suvorexant HD Versus Placebo: Change From Baseline in LPS at Month 3
LPS is measured during overnight sleep laboratory (PSG) assessments at baseline, Night 1, Month 1 and Month 3, and is defined as the duration of time from the beginning of PSG assessment (Lights-Off) to the first interval of 10 consecutive minutes of sleep. Beginning of PSG assessment (Lights-Off) is at approximately the participant's habitual bedtime. The participant is awakened, or allowed to get out of bed if already awake, after 8 hours of PSG recording (Lights-On). PSG assessments consist of electronic measurement of brain activity and eye and muscle movements. PSG data was scored by a Centralized PSG reading center.
Time frame: Baseline and Month 3
Population: Randomized participants with ≥1 post-randomization PSG observation after ≥1 dose of study drug, and baseline data were included in this analysis. The Primary hypothesis included only the suvorexant HD-placebo comparison.

Comparison: The null hypothesis, that suvorexant HD did not differ from placebo for Month 3 LPS, had planned marginal power of 76.2%. Sleep maintenance (sTSTm, WASO) and sleep onset (sTSOm, LPS) endpoints were tested at two-sided 2.5% significance level.

Suvorexant HD Versus Placebo: Change From Baseline in Mean Subjective Time to Sleep Onset (sTSOm) at Month 1
sTSOm is the average over a defined day range of the participant's report of the duration of time that it took to fall asleep, as recorded in a daily e-diary. Averages were derived by taking the mean of all available daily measurements (excluding the mornings following any PSG nights) falling within the day range; Month 1 range is Days 23-30 (Day 1 is day of first double-blind dose). A participant must have at least 3 days of data during the defined day range to calculate an average for the day range; otherwise, the mean value was considered missing for that day range. The baseline value is the mean of the last 7 daily measurements obtained during the placebo Run-in period.

Suvorexant LD Versus Placebo: Change From Baseline in sTSTm at Month 3
sTSTm is the average over a defined day range of the participant's report of the total amount of time spent asleep before waking for the day, as recorded in a daily e-diary. Averages were derived by taking the mean of all available daily measurements (excluding the mornings following any PSG nights) falling within the day range; Month 3 range is Days 76-90 (Day 1 is day of first double-blind dose). A participant must have at least 3 days of data during the defined day range to calculate an average for the day range; otherwise, the mean value was considered missing for that day range. The baseline value is the mean of the last 7 daily measurements obtained during the placebo Run-in period.
Time frame: Baseline and Month 3
Population: Randomized participants with ≥1 post-randomization e-diary observation after ≥1 dose of study drug, and baseline data were included in this analysis. Only suvorexant LD-placebo comparison included, as suvorexant HD-placebo comparison is included in Primary hypothesis.
| Arm | Measure | Value (LEAST_SQUARES_MEAN) |
|---|---|---|
| Suvorexant HD | Suvorexant LD Versus Placebo: Change From Baseline in sTSTm at Month 3 | 51.2 minutes |
| Placebo | Suvorexant LD Versus Placebo: Change From Baseline in sTSTm at Month 3 | 40.6 minutes |
Comparison: Sleep maintenance (sTSTm, WASO) and sleep onset (sTSOm, LPS) endpoints were tested at two-sided 2.5% significance level. Both Month 1 endpoints for sleep maintenance must be significant to test Month 3 endpoints. A sleep maintenance LD endpoint was tested if ≥1 HD Month 3 endpoint for sleep maintenance and corresponding HD endpoint were significant. The same approach was used for sleep onset endpoints.p-value: 0.0171195% CI: [1.9, 19.5]Longitudinal Data Analysis

Suvorexant LD Versus Placebo: Change From Baseline in WASO at Month 1
WASO is measured during overnight sleep laboratory (PSG) assessments at baseline, Night 1, Month 1 and Month 3, and is defined as the duration of wakefulness from the onset of persistent sleep (i.e., 10 consecutive minutes of sleep) to the end of PSG assessment the following morning. Beginning of PSG assessment (Lights-Off) is at approximately the participant's habitual bedtime. The participant is awakened, or allowed to get out of bed if already awake, after 8 hours of PSG recording (Lights-On). PSG assessments consist of electronic measurement of brain activity and eye and muscle movements. PSG data was scored by a Centralized PSG reading center.
Time frame: Baseline and Month 1
Population: Randomized participants with ≥1 post-randomization PSG observation after ≥1 dose of study drug, and baseline data were included in this analysis. Only suvorexant LD-placebo comparison included, as suvorexant HD-placebo comparison is included in Primary hypothesis.

Comparison: Sleep maintenance (sTSTm, WASO) and sleep onset (sTSOm, LPS) endpoints were tested at two-sided 2.5% significance level.
