Trial Outcomes & Findings for VEC-162 Study in Healthy Adult Volunteers in a Model of Insomnia (NCT NCT00291187)

NCT ID: NCT00291187

Last Updated: 2014-10-15

Results Overview

The average improvement in Latency to persistent sleep (the number of minutes between Lights Off and the onset of at least 10 minutes of persistent sleep, as measured by polysomnography) is defined as the difference observed in the VEC-162 treated subjects compared with placebo treated subjects.

Participant Flow

Recruitment took place at 20 US sites. The first subject was screened on February 9th 2006, the first subject enrolled on March 10th, 2006, and the last subject completed on August 21st 2006.

Prior to treatment assignment, subjects were instructed to start a sleep schedule that required staying in bed and trying to sleep for at least 8 hours per night. One subject randomized to VEC-162 50 mg was non-compliant for sleep schedule. Subject was discontinued on Day 1 prior to study drug administration.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Night 1

Population: Modified ITT defined as any subject randomized into the study who received a dose of study drug and had PSG data. For the purposes of this trial, a subject was considered to have PSG data if 50% or more of the full night PSG was scored.

The average improvement in Latency to persistent sleep (the number of minutes between Lights Off and the onset of at least 10 minutes of persistent sleep, as measured by polysomnography) is defined as the difference observed in the VEC-162 treated subjects compared with placebo treated subjects.

Population: Modified ITT defined as any subject randomized into the study who received a dose of study drug and had PSG data. For the purposes of this trial, a subject was considered to have PSG data if 50% or more of the full night PSG was scored.

The average improvement of wake after sleep onset (time spent awake between onset of sleep and lights on, determined by PSG) is defined as the difference observed in the VEC-162 treated subjects compared with placebo treated subjects.
