Summary

This was a safety and efficacy study of a single-dose of 8 mg and 16 mg TAK-375 compared to placebo for one evening in subjects naïve to a sleep-laboratory environment.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter, Single-Dose Study of TAK-375 in Healthy Adult Volunteers in a Sleep Lab Model of Transient Insomnia

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Placebo Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Latency to persistent sleep as determined by one night PSG evaluation in a sleep lab.

Secondary outcome:

Objective and subjective measures of efficacy.

Sleep architecture variables.

Residual pharmacological effects.

Safety variables including adverse events, laboratory tests, vital signs, ECG results, and physical examination findings.

Detailed description: Subjects meeting the initial Screening criteria checked in on the day of dosing. Subjects were randomized to receive TAK-375 8 mg, 16 mg or placebo. Subjects received a polysomnography (PSG) recording, then a single oral dose of study medication approximately 30 minutes prior to their habitual bedtime. Following lights out, PSG was performed uninterrupted for 8 hours. After awakening the next day, a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Mood and Feelings, Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), Postsleep Questionnaire, and Memory Recall tests were performed. Safety variables were also assessed. The subjects were discharged after all safety and efficacy parameters were performed.
