A Study to Evaluate Next-Dose Transition From Zolpidem to Lemborexant (LEM) for the Treatment of Insomnia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the proportion of adult [greater than or equal to (>=) 18 years] participants with insomnia disorder taking zolpidem tartrate immediate release (ZOL-IR) or zolpidem tartrate extended release (ZOL-ER), intermittently or frequently, who transition to lemborexant 5 milligram (mg) (LEM5) or 10 mg (LEM10) after 2 weeks of receiving LEM.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of Overall Participants Who Transitioned to LEM at the End of the Titration Period of Core Study [Up to 2 Weeks]
Transition to LEM was defined as participant who remained on LEM at the end of the 2-week titration period and either 1) entered the extension phase, or 2) chooses to not enter the extension phase for reasons not related to LEM (including, but not limited to, time commitment related to the study, study-related travel expenses or preference to continue insomnia management with another health care provider).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of Participants Who Transitioned to LEM at the End of the 2-Week Titration Period of Core Study Within Each Cohort [Up to 2 Weeks]
Transition to LEM was defined as participant who remained on LEM at the end of the 2-week titration period and either 1) entered the extension phase, or 2) chooses to not enter the extension phase for reasons not related to LEM (including, but not limited to, time commitment related to the study, study-related travel expenses or preference to continue insomnia management with another health care provider).
- Percentage of Participants in the LEM5 Treatment Groups With Dose Increasing to LEM10 at the End of the Titration Period of Core Study by Cohort and Overall [Up to 2 Weeks]
This outcome measure was planned for Cohort 1A, 1B and 2A. As there was no dose increase happened in Cohort 2B, this Outcome Measure is not applicable for Cohort 2B.
- Percentage of Participants in LEM10 Treatment Group With Dose Decreasing to LEM5 at the End of the Titration Period of Core Study in Cohort 2 [Up to 2 Weeks]
This outcome measure was planned for Cohort 2B. As dose decrease happened in Cohort 2B only, this Outcome Measure is not applicable for Cohort 1A, 1B and 2A.
- Percentage of Participants With Positive Medication Effect Rating on Each Patient Global Impression of Insomnia (PGI-I) Item at the End of the 2-Week Titration Period of Core Study by Cohort and Overall Using End of the Titration Period Treatment [Up to 2 Weeks]
The PGI-I was a self-report assessment of participant perception of the effects of a medication on their sleep. The PGI-I had 3 items related to study medication effects (a) helped/worsened sleep, (b) decreased/increased time to fall asleep, (c) increased/decreased total sleep time, and 1 item related to perceived appropriateness of study medication strength. The first 3 items were answered on a 3-point scale (1=positive medication effect, 2=neutral medication effect, 3=negative medication effect) and the last item on a different 3 point scale (medication: 1=too strong, 2=just right, 3=too weak), only 'positive medication effects' and 'just right' are reported here.

Title | Percentage of Participants With Positive Medication Effect Rating on Each Patient Global Impression of Insomnia (PGI-I) Item at the End of the 2-Week Titration Period of Core Study by Cohort and Overall Using End of the Titration Period Treatment |
---|---|
Description | The PGI-I was a self-report assessment of participant perception of the effects of a medication on their sleep. The PGI-I had 3 items related to study medication effects (a) helped/worsened sleep, (b) decreased/increased time to fall asleep, (c) increased/decreased total sleep time, and 1 item related to perceived appropriateness of study medication strength. The first 3 items were answered on a 3-point scale (1=positive medication effect, 2=neutral medication effect, 3=negative medication effect) and the last item on a different 3 point scale (medication: 1=too strong, 2=just right, 3=too weak), only 'positive medication effects' and 'just right' are reported here. |

Eligible participants who completed 2 weeks in Titration Period of Core Study continued to receive LEM5 or LEM10 (as per titration schedule) tablet, orally, once at night for up to 12 weeks in the Extension Phase. |
