Brief summary

A study in healthy volunteers of the next morning driving performance after middle-of-the-night dosing of 3.5 mg zolpidem tartrate sublingual tablet, a sleep aid. The next morning driving performance will be measured by taking a standardized driving test.

Interventions

DRUGzopiclone

7.5 mg tablet by mouth. Zopiclone is a commonly used hypnotic in Europe that is known to impair driving in the morning 9 hours after dosing.

3.5 mg zolpidem tartrate sublingual tablet taken either 3 or 4 hours prior to driving. Participants placed the study drug under the tongue and allowed it to dissolve there for about 2 minutes, then swallowed after dissolved.

DRUGPlacebo (sublingual tablet)

Placebo matching zolpidem tartrate sublingual tablet taken either 3 or 4 hours prior to driving. Participants placed the study drug under the tongue and allowed it to dissolve there for about 2 minutes, then swallowed after dissolved.

DRUGPlacebo

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants Whose Standard Deviation of Lateral Position (SDLP) Following Active Treatment As Compared to Placebo In Relation To The 2.5 cm SDLP Threshold3-9 hours post doseSDLP was measured by an infrared camera mounted on the car's roof during a highway driving test. Lateral position of the car relative to the left lane boundary was recorded. The data summarizes the number of participants whose driving performance was worse, neutral or improved as compared to placebo at the 2.5 cm threshold. A neutral driving performance shows a difference of SDLP \>= 2.5 cm and \<= -2.5 cm when compared to placebo. A worse performance is when the difference of SDLP \> 2.5 cm, and an improved performance is when the difference of SDLP \< -2.5 cm.

Comparison: Symmetry analysis was performed for the probability of difference from placebo falling above and below the threshold of +/-3.5 cm in Standard Deviation of Lateral Position (SDLP) following administration of zopiclone 9 hours prior to driving.

Summary of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Experiences (TEAEs)

Adverse Events were graded by the investigator using the World Health Organization (WHO) Adverse Event Grading Scale and were assessed for severity (mild, moderate, severe) and relatedness (summarized as 'unrelated' and 'related') to study treatment. Also included are counts of participants with serious AEs, AEs leading to discontinuation of study treatment, and deaths.

Time frame: Day 1 -6 weeks

Population: Safety population (participants who were randomized and received at least one dose of study drug)
