Change from baseline in adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation test.
Detailed description:
Insomnia is characterized by a complaint of either difficulties initiating and maintaining
sleep or of nonrestorative and non-refreshing sleep. Transient insomnia affects
approximately one-third to one-half of the US population, based on the results of 2 surveys
of representative samples of the adult US population conducted by the Gallup Organization in
which respondents were asked if they had "ever had difficulty sleeping." Based on reports of
"regular" or "frequent" sleep difficulty, results from the same studies suggest that
approximately one-tenth of the US population experiences chronic insomnia. The ideal
treatment for insomnia would reduce the latency to onset of sleep and increase total sleep
time, without a negative impact on sleep architecture and without safety concerns or
next-day effects.
Ramelteon is a melatonin-1 receptor agonist under global development by Takeda Chemical
Industries, Ltd., Osaka, Japan, for the treatment of transient and chronic insomnia and for
the treatment of Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders.
This study has been designed to determine the long-term (6 month) effects of Ramelteon on
endocrine function values. Study participation is anticipated to be about 7 months.
Eligibility
Minimum age: 18 Years.
Maximum age: 45 Years.
Gender(s): Both.
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria
- Females of childbearing potential who are sexually active must agree to use adequate
contraception, and can neither be pregnant nor lactating from Screening throughout
the duration of the study.
- Has had primary insomnia as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders, Text Revision for at least 3 months and a history of daytime
complaint(s) associated with disturbed sleep.
- Has a subjective sleep latency (sSL) greater than or equal to 45 minutes and a
subjective total sleep time less than or equal to 6. 5 hours for at least 3 nights out
of one week.
- Habitual bedtime is between 8: 30PM and 12: 00AM.
- Habitual awakening time is between 5: 00 AM and 10: 00 AM.
- Male and female subjects must have serum prolactin, luteinizing hormone, follicle
stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone,
triiodothyronine and thyroxine within normal range. Normal ranges for luteinizing
hormone and follicle stimulating hormone for female subjects will be defined as the
lowest value among the menstrual phases to the highest value among the menstrual
phases.
- Body mass index between 18 and 34, inclusive.
- Male subjects must have serum testosterone values of greater than or equal to 150 ng
per dL.
- Female subjects must have serum estradiol values within normal range.
Exclusion Criteria
- Known hypersensitivity to ramelteon or related compounds, including melatonin.
- Previously participated in a study involving ramelteon.
- Participated in any other investigational study and/or taken any investigational drug
within 30 days or five half-lives prior to Day 1, whichever is longer.
- Sleep schedule changes required by employment (eg, shift worker) within three months
prior to Day 1, or has flown across greater than three time zones within seven days
prior to screening.
- Participated in a weight loss program or has substantially altered their exercise
routine within 30 days prior to Day 1.
- Ever had a history of seizures, sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,
restless leg syndrome, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, mental retardation, or
cognitive disorder.
- History of psychiatric disorder (including anxiety or depression) within the past 12
months.
- History of drug addiction or drug abuse within the past 12 months.
- History of alcohol abuse within the past 12 months, as defined in Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Text Revision and/or regularly consumes 4 or
more alcoholic drinks per day.
- Current significant neurological (including psychiatric and cognitive disorders),
hepatic, renal, endocrine, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, hematologic,
or metabolic disease, unless currently controlled and stable with protocol-allowed
medication 30 days prior to Day 1.
- Uses tobacco products during nightly awakenings.
- Used melatonin, or other drugs or supplements known to affect sleep/wake function
within 1week (or 5 half lives of the drug, whichever is longer) prior to Day 1.
- Used any central nervous system medication within 1 week (or 5 half lives of the
drug, whichever is longer) prior to Day 1. These medications must not have been used
to treat psychiatric disorders.
- Any clinically important abnormal finding as determined by a medical history,
physical examination, electrocardiogram, or clinical laboratory tests, as determined
by the investigator.
- Positive hepatitis panel including anti- hepatitis A virus (only immunoglobulin M is
exclusionary), anti- hepatitis B surface (except in subjects who have received
hepatitis B virus vaccination), hepatitis B surface antigen, anti-hepatitis B core
(only immunoglobulin M is exclusionary), or anti-hepatitis C virus..
- Any significant endocrine pathology based on borderline laboratory results.
- Any additional condition(s) that in the Investigator's opinion would:
- affect endocrine function (eg, hyperthyroidism, diabetes)
- prohibit the subject from completing the study, or
- not be in the best interest of the subject to participate in the study.
- Morning serum cortisol at the Screening visit of less than 7. 0 μg per dl.
- Is required to take or continues taking any disallowed medication, prescription
medication, herbal treatment or over-the counter medication that may interfere with
evaluation of the study medication, including:
- anxiolytics
- hypnotics
- antidepressants
- anticonvulsants
- sedating H1 antihistamines
- systemic steroids
