E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of two doses of Lorediplon (5 and 10 mg), during two consecutive nights compared to placebo on Wake after Sleep Onset (WASO) measured by polysomnography (PSG) in adult patients with insomnia disorder. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate dose-response relationship of two doses of Lorediplon and placebo assessed by Wake after Sleep Onset (WASO) measured by polysomnography (PSG).
To evaluate the efficacy of two doses of Lorediplon, during two consecutive nights compared to Zolpidem on Wake after Sleep Onset (WASO) measured by polysomnography (PSG).
To evaluate the efficacy of Zolpidem during two consecutive nights compared to placebo on Wake after Sleep Onset (WASO) measured by polysomnography (PSG) in adult patients with insomnia disorder.
To compare the effect of two doses of Lorediplon versus placebo and versus Zolpidem on:
• PSG measurements
• Patient reported measurements (recorded by patient questionnaire or VAS
• Next-day residual effects

-Have a stable bedtime pattern as defined by a usual bedtime between 21.00 and 01.00 (inclusive) and a usual rise time between 05.00 and 09.00. On nights followed by nonworking days, variations in sleep schedule are allowed if, in the opinion of the investigator, they do not impact the patient’s eligibility for randomization

E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Dose-response relationship of two doses of Lorediplon versus placebo assessed by WASO.
WASO change from baseline (minutes) measured by polysomnograpy (PSG) comparing Lorediplon (mean of two nights for each dose) with Zolpidem (mean of two nights). Comparison of Lorediplon versus placebo and versus Zolpidem on the following parameters (change from baseline):
• PSG measurements:
-Total Sleep Time (TST),
-Latency to Persistent Sleep (LPS),
-Sleep Efficiency Index (SEI),
-Sleep Onset Latency (SOL),
-Number of awakenings (NAW),
-Total time awake (TTA),
-Sleep Efficiency Index by quarter of the night,
-Sleep Efficiency Index by hour of the night.
-Sleep stage effects.
-WASO by ¼ of the night.
• Patient reported measurements (recorded by patient questionnaire or VAS):
-Subjective total sleep time (sTST),
-Subjective Wake after Sleep Onset (sWASO),)
-Subjective Sleep Latency,
-Subjective number of awakenings (sNAW),
-Subjective Sleep quality (sSQ),
-Subjective Sleep onset (sSO),
-Sleepiness scale.
A PSQ (post sleep questionnaire) will be administered to measure sWASO, sTST, sSleep Latency, sSleep Quality & sNAW, each morning in the sleep lab, within the 30 min of awakening, for two days.
Sleep scoring (S-VAS) will be used for subjective Sleep Onset, subjective sleep quality and for subjective Sleepiness.
• Next-day residual effects.
Next-day residual effects evaluated by:
-Neurocognitive assessment:
Digit symbol substitution test (DSST).
