Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study was to demonstrate that LML134 can increase wakefulness compared to placebo in patients with shift work disorder (SWD) measured by objective and subjective endpoints of wakefulness, i.e. the sleep latency in the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) and the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), respectively. Safety and PK of LML134 were also evaluated. In addition, novel methodologies to measure wakefulness and sleep were also to be tested and compared to gold standard methods like the MSLT and polysomnography (PSG) (at sites where staff have appropriate equipment and training). The aim of such comparisons was to evaluate the usefulness of the new technologies in clinical studies and provide preliminary validation data.

This was a randomized, subject and investigator-blinded, placebo controlled, crossover, multi-center Proof of Concept (PoC) study with in-house simulated laboratory night shifts in patients with SWD. This non-confirmatory study included two treatment arms: LML134 and placebo. After a screening period, the treatment phase of the study consisted of two overnight stays in a sleep lab in each of two treatment periods, with a minimum one week wash-out in between.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Mean Sleep Latency Over Two Consecutive Test Nights as Measured by the the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) [Day 1 and Day 2 of each treatment period (midnight until 8:00)]

    The Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) is an objective assessment of sleepiness that measures the ability of a subject to remain awake. Long latencies to sleep are indicative of a patient's ability to remain awake. Mean sleep latency from MSLT was measured for four MSLT naps performed at scheduled timepoints (01:30, 03:30, 05:30, and 07:30). The primary efficacy variable was the mean MSLT sleep latency assessed at Day 1 and Day 2 of each treatment period.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Sleep Latency at Separate Naps Over Two Consecutive Test Nights as Measured by the the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) [Day 1 and Day 2 of each treatment period (midnight until 8:00)]

    The Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) is an objective assessment of sleepiness that measures the ability of a subject to remain awake. Long latencies to sleep are indicative of a patient's ability to remain awake. Mean sleep latency from MSLT was measured for four MSLT naps performed at scheduled timepoints (01:30, 03:30, 05:30, and 07:30). The outcome measure is the mean value of Day 1 and Day 2 assessments for each timepoint.

  2. Plasma PK Concentration [0 to 34.5 hours post first treatment.]

    Plasma PK concentration. Due to sparse sampling, only plasma concentrations were calculated and no PK parameter was evaluated by non-compartmental analysis.

  3. Total Time in Bed Measured by Polysomnography (PSG) [Day 2 (10:00 until 18:00) of each treatment period]

    PSG encompasses the monitoring of subjects in a sleep facility using an array of medical equipment with simultaneously recording on a multi-channel analog or digital system. PSG was performed in the study to record and evaluate various aspects of sleep. Total time in bed is the time spent in bed during recording.

  4. Sleep Time Measured by Polysomnography (PSG) [Day 2 (10:00 until 18:00) of each treatment period]

    PSG encompasses the monitoring of subjects in a sleep facility using an array of medical equipment with simultaneously recording on a multi-channel analog or digital system. PSG was performed in the study to record and evaluate various aspects of sleep. Total sleep time is the overall duration of sleep during the entire PSG recording.

  5. Sleep Efficiency Measured by Polysomnography (PSG) [Day 2 (10:00 until 18:00) of each treatment period]

    PSG encompasses the monitoring of subjects in a sleep facility using an array of medical equipment with simultaneously recording on a multi-channel analog or digital system. PSG was performed in the study to record and evaluate various aspects of sleep. Sleep efficiency is the percentage of time spent asleep during the entire PSG recording.

  6. Wake Time After Persistent Sleep Measured by Polysomnography (PSG) [Day 2 (10:00 until 18:00) of each treatment period]

    PSG encompasses the monitoring of subjects in a sleep facility using an array of medical equipment with simultaneously recording on a multi-channel analog or digital system. PSG was performed in the study to record and evaluate various aspects of sleep. Wake time after persistent sleep is a measure of time spent awake after a defined onset of sleep.

  7. Latency to Onset of Persistent Sleep Measured by Polysomnography (PSG) [Day 2 (10:00 until 18:00) of each treatment period]

    PSG encompasses the monitoring of subjects in a sleep facility using an array of medical equipment with simultaneously recording on a multi-channel analog or digital system. PSG was performed in the study to record and evaluate various aspects of sleep. Latency to onset of persistent sleep is defined as latency from Lights-Off to the first epoch (30 seconds) of 20 consecutive epochs of non-Wake.

  8. Number of Awakenings Measured by Polysomnography (PSG) [Day 2 (10:00 until 18:00) of each treatment period]

    PSG encompasses the monitoring of subjects in a sleep facility using an array of medical equipment with simultaneously recording on a multi-channel analog or digital system. PSG was performed in the study to record and evaluate various aspects of sleep. Number of awakenings is defined as the number of times of entering wake stage after onset of sleep during the PSG recording.

  9. Latency to Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep Measured by Polysomnography (PSG) [Day 2 (10:00 until 18:00) of each treatment period]

    PSG encompasses the monitoring of subjects in a sleep facility using an array of medical equipment with simultaneously recording on a multi-channel analog or digital system. PSG was performed in the study to record and evaluate various aspects of sleep. Sleep latency to REM Sleep is defined as the time from Lights-Off to reaching the first epoch (i.e. 30 seconds) of REM sleep.

  10. Number of Sleep Cycles Measured by Polysomnography (PSG) [Day 2 (10:00 until 18:00) of each treatment period]

    PSG encompasses the monitoring of subjects in a sleep facility using an array of medical equipment with simultaneously recording on a multi-channel analog or digital system. PSG was performed in the study to record and evaluate various aspects of sleep. Number of sleep cycles measured by Polysomnography (PSG).

  11. Time Spent in Each Sleep Stage Measured by Polysomnography (PSG) [Day 2 (10:00 until 18:00) of each treatment period]

    N1: is defined by a relatively low amplitude, mixed frequency EEG. N2: is defined by the presence of sleep spindles and/or K complexes and the absence of sufficient high-amplitude, slow activity to define the presence of stage N3 sleep. N3: is defined as an EEG with at least 20% of an epoch consisting of slow, high amplitude waveforms of .5 - 2 Hz and peak-to-peak amplitude of greater than 75mV. REM: is defined by the concomitant appearance of relatively low amplitude, mixed frequency EEG activity and episodes of rapid eye movement. Sawtooth waves may be present. Chin EMG activity is typically low.
