Participant Flow

Subjects enrolled at 47 sites in the United States from 10 October 2007 to 23 May 2008.

Subjects were screened for 14 days, entered a 7-day placebo run-in, and then were randomized to once-daily (QD) treatment. To enter the double-blind randomization period, subjects must have met the eligible inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria and met sleep diagnostic criteria established during screening polysomnography.
