Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Determine the efficacy of lemborexant 5 mg (LEM5) and 10 mg (LEM10) compared to placebo (PBO) on subjective sleep onset latency (sSOL) after 6 months of treatment in subjects with insomnia disorder
    Protection of trial subjects

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Subjects from Placebo were re-randomized to Lemborexant 5 mg and Lemborexant 10 mg.

    Change From Baseline in Subjective Sleep Onset Latency (sSOL) at Month 6
    End point description
    sSOL was defined as estimated minutes from the time that the subject attempted to sleep until sleep onset. The FAS was the group of randomized subjects who received at least one dose of randomized study drug and had at least one postdose primary efficacy measurement. Number analyzed refers to subjects evaluable for this outcome measure at specified time point.

    Analysis was based on mixed effect model repeated measurement analysis (MMRM) model with log transformation of sSOL and factors for age group, region, treatment, visit (Month 6), and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects, and the study baseline sSOL as a covariate. Missing values are imputed using multiple imputation and assumed to be missing not at random (missing not at random/complete case missing value [MNAR/CCMV]).

    Change From Baseline in Subjective Sleep Efficiency (sSE) at the Beginning of Treatment (Mean of the 7 Nights After the First Dose in Placebo-Controlled Period), and at Months 1, 3 and 6
    End point description
    sSE was defined as percentage of subjective total sleep time (sTST) divided by subjective time spent in bed, calculated as the interval from the time the subject reported attempting to sleep until the time subject stopped trying to sleep for the night (operationalized as the time the subject got out of bed for the day), and time spent asleep derived from subjective time spent in bed minus sWASO. The FAS was the group of randomized subjects who received at least one dose of randomized study drug and had at least one postdose primary efficacy measurement. Number analyzed refers to subjects evaluable for this outcome measure at specified time point.

    Change From Baseline in sTST at the Beginning of Treatment (Mean of the 7 Nights After the First Dose in Placebo-Controlled Period), and at Months 1, 3 and 6
    End point description
    sTST was defined as minutes of sleep from sleep onset to time stopped trying to sleep for the night. The FAS was the group of randomized subjects who received at least one dose of randomized study drug and had at least one postdose primary efficacy measurement. Number analyzed refers to subjects evaluable for this outcome measure at specified time point.

On-treatment FAS was the group of subjects who received at least 1 dose of lemborexant and had at least 1 post dose primary efficacy measurement. Overall subjects analyzed based on number in “On-Treatment FAS (subjects who received at least 1 dose of lemborexant and had at least 1 postdose primary efficacy measurement)”.

    Change From Baseline in Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) Daytime Functioning Score at Months 1, 3, and 6
    End point description
    The ISI is a 4-7 item, self-report questionnaire assessing the nature, severity, and impact of insomnia. The dimensions evaluated were: 1. severity of sleep onset; 2. sleep maintenance; 3. early morning awakening problems; 4. sleep dissatisfaction; 5. interference of sleep difficulties with daytime functioning; 6. noticeability of the sleep problems by others; and 7. distress caused by the sleep difficulties. A 5-point Likert scale was used to rate each item (from 0=no problem to 4=very severe problem). Daytime functioning score (sum of items 4 to 7) were analyzed. Higher score indicated severe insomnia problem. The total score range for sum of items is 0-16. The FAS was the group of randomized subjects who received at least one dose of randomized study drug and had at least one postdose primary efficacy measurement. Number analyzed refers to subjects evaluable for this outcome measure at specified time point.

    Change From Baseline in Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) Total Score at Months 1, 3 and
    End point description
    The FSS is a self-reported scale on which subjects were instructed to choose a number from 1 to 7 that indicated their degree of agreement with 9 statements about their fatigue where “1” indicates strongly disagree and “7”, strongly agree. The FSS total score was the sum of all responses to the 9 questions. Higher total scores and average item scores indicated greater fatigue. Total score range is 9 to 63. The FAS was the group of randomized subjects who received at least one dose of randomized study drug and had at least one postdose primary efficacy measurement. Number analyzed refers to subjects evaluable for this outcome measure at specified time point.

    Rebound Insomnia: Mean sSOL on Each of the First 3 Nights, First 7 Nights, and Last 7 Nights of the Follow-up Period
    End point description
    Rebound Insomnia: Rebound insomnia was defined as insomnia that occurred following discontinuation of a sedative substance taken to relieve primary insomnia. sSOL was defined as estimated minutes from the time that the subject attempted to sleep until sleep onset. Overall subjects analyzed based on number in “On-Treatment FAS (subjects who received at least 1 dose of lemborexant and had at least 1 postdose primary efficacy measurement)”. Hence, these numbers include lemborexant data from subjects re-randomized from placebo in Period 1. Number analyzed=subjects analyzed at specified timepoint.

Specified that informed consent was taken by personnel in accordance with national legislation. 8. Clarified the reason why subjects should not eat a meal within 3 hours before taking the study drug. 9. Specified that the neurological examination was conducted by a clinician whose clinical experience ensured that an adequate assessment of domains underlying the exclusion criteria could be performed. 10.

    28 Jun 2018
    Amendment 4: 1. Added analysis of Treatment Period 1. Because based on the results of pivotal Study 304 and special safety studies, the sponsor decided to include a database lock with interim analysis to assess efficacy in the double-blind placebo-controlled treatment period. All available safety data were assessed. 2. In the event of an interim analysis, Sponsor staff will be unblinded; however, site personnel, investigator, and subjects will remain blinded 3. To align with Regulatory Authority provision ICH-E9 addendum, analysis sets and analysis plan were updated
    03 Aug 2018
    Amendment 5: Updated interim analysis description (to clarify that no interim analysis was being performed and that when all subjects had completed Period 1, all data were unblinded to the sponsor and that study sites and subjects would remain blinded until the study had been completed.)
    13 Aug 2018
    Amendment 6: 1. Added results from Study E2006-A001-012 2. Updated list of prohibited concomitant medications to prohibit moderate cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) inhibitors 3. Revised other secondary endpoint analyses for FSS.
