Trial Outcomes & Findings for Polysomnography Study of MK-6096 in Participants With Primary Insomnia (MK-6096-011) (NCT NCT01021852)

NCT ID: NCT01021852

Last Updated: 2018-11-06

Results Overview

SE was measured using a polysomnogram (PSG), which consisted of an electroencephalogram (EEG) for registration of brain activity during sleep, an electro-oculogram (EOG) for registration of the eye movements during sleep, and an electromyogram (EMG) for recording chin muscle activity during sleep. Sleep stage scoring was performed visually in 30-second epochs according to Rechtschaffen and Kales (R\&K) criteria and PSG data were read by a Central Reader. SE was defined as total sleep time (TST) in minutes divided by time in bed (measured from lights off to lights on; fixed at 8 hours on each PSG night) in minutes, multiplied by 100, where TST is defined as the total time (minutes) in Stages 1, 2, 3, 4 and Rapid Eye Movement (REM). SE= (total sleep time/time in bed) x 100. Least squares (LS) mean SE was reported for each treatment arm.

MK-6096 2.5 mg/Placebo
Prior to Treatment Period 1, participants undergo a 3 week screening period and receive single-blind placebo for the last 2 weeks if screening criteria are met. During Treatment Period 1, participants receive MK-6096 2.5 mg daily for 4 weeks at 5-10 minutes before bedtime and return to the sleep laboratory on Days 1 and 29 for overnight polysomnography (PSG) recordings, on which days they receive MK-6096 30 minutes before bedtime. Treatment Period 1 is followed by a 2-week washout period during which the participant receives single-blind placebo for the first 3 days and no treatment for the remaining 11 days. During Treatment Period 2, participants receive dose-matched placebo to MK-6096 daily for 4 weeks at 5-10 minutes before bedtime and return to the sleep laboratory for 2 overnight PSG recordings on Days 1 and 29 (Study Days 44 and 72), on which days they receive placebo 30 minutes before bedtime.

Timeframe: Night 1 and end of Week 4

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) population; subset of all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication and had any post-randomization SE efficacy assessment data. The FAS population may have varied across endpoints due to the degree of missing data for each endpoint.

SE was measured using a polysomnogram (PSG), which consisted of an electroencephalogram (EEG) for registration of brain activity during sleep, an electro-oculogram (EOG) for registration of the eye movements during sleep, and an electromyogram (EMG) for recording chin muscle activity during sleep. Sleep stage scoring was performed visually in 30-second epochs according to Rechtschaffen and Kales (R\&K) criteria and PSG data were read by a Central Reader. SE was defined as total sleep time (TST) in minutes divided by time in bed (measured from lights off to lights on; fixed at 8 hours on each PSG night) in minutes, multiplied by 100, where TST is defined as the total time (minutes) in Stages 1, 2, 3, 4 and Rapid Eye Movement (REM). SE= (total sleep time/time in bed) x 100. Least squares (LS) mean SE was reported for each treatment arm.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 through Day 29 in Treatment Periods 1 and 2 (58 days total)

Population: All Participants as Treated (APaT) population; all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study treatment. Participants were included corresponding to the study treatment they actually received for a given period.

An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's product, was also an AE. The percentage of participants with AEs are presented for the first day of randomized treatment dosing (Day 1) through the last day of randomized treatment dosing (Day 29) in Treatment Periods 1 and 2.

Participants administered single-blind placebo study medication for the first 3 nights of the washout period that occurred between Treatment Period 1 and Treatment Period 2, immediately prior to bedtime. The remaining 11 days of the washout period constituted a drug holiday during which time no study medication was administered.
Post-Study/Follow-up

Participants that completed the study or prematurely discontinued during either treatment period received a 14-day (from last dose) follow-up phone call to assess for AEs. The Post-Study/Follow-up period was the period that occurred between study completion/ treatment discontinuation and the 14-day follow-up phone call (14 days after the last dose of double-blind study medication).

MK-6096 10 mg
n=80 participants at risk
Participants received MK-6096 10 mg prior to bedtime for 4 weeks (Days 1-29) during a treatment period.
MK-6096 20 mg
n=81 participants at risk
Participants received MK-6096 20 mg prior to bedtime for 4 weeks (Days 1-29) during a treatment period.
Washout
n=315 participants at risk
Participants administered single-blind placebo study medication for the first 3 nights of the washout period that occurred between Treatment Period 1 and Treatment Period 2, immediately prior to bedtime. The remaining 11 days of the washout period constituted a drug holiday during which time no study medication was administered.
Post-Study/Follow-up
n=324 participants at risk
Participants that completed the study or prematurely discontinued during either treatment period received a 14-day (from last dose) follow-up phone call to assess for AEs. The Post-Study/Follow-up period was the period that occurred between study completion/ treatment discontinuation and the 14-day follow-up phone call (14 days after the last dose of double-blind study medication).
