Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Exploratory Study to Investigate the Effect of Ramelteon for Insomnia Patients With Major Depressive Disorder by Using Actigraphy (NCT NCT02669082)

NCT ID: NCT02669082

Last Updated: 2019-07-22

Results Overview

Sleep latency was defined as time period measured from "lights out," or bedtime, to the beginning of sleep. Sleep latency was assessed by actigraphy, a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual's movement during sleep. Mean value from the past 7 days was evaluated. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and the end of the Treatment Period (up to Week 8)

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) was defined as all participants given at least 1 dose of study drug.

Sleep latency was defined as time period measured from "lights out," or bedtime, to the beginning of sleep. Sleep latency was assessed by actigraphy, a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual's movement during sleep. Mean value from the past 7 days was evaluated. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and the end of the Treatment Period (up to Week 8)

Population: FAS was defined as all participants given at least 1 dose of study drug.

Sleep latency was defined as time period measured from "lights out," or bedtime, to the beginning of sleep. Sleep latency was recorded by the participant in a diary. Mean value from the past 7 days at each timepoint was evaluated. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and the end of the Treatment Period (up to Week 8)

Population: FAS was defined as all participants given at least 1 dose of study drug.

Total nocturnal sleep time was assessed by actigraphy, a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual's movement during sleep. Total nocturnal sleep time by actigraphy was total time in bed from which sleep latency, nocturnal wake time, and the time from waking up to leaving the bed were subtracted. Mean value from the past 7 days at each timepoint was evaluated. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and the end of the Treatment Period (up to Week 8)

Population: FAS was defined as all participants given at least 1 dose of study drug.

Nocturnal wake time is the total time that is scored between nocturnal sleep onset and final wake-up. Nocturnal wake time was assessed by actigraphy, a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual's movement during sleep. Mean value from the past 7 days at each timepoint was evaluated. A positive change from Baseline indicates a worsening.

Population: FAS was defined as all participants given at least 1 dose of study drug.

Sleep efficiency was defined as percentage of sleep in the period potentially filled by sleep-ratio of total sleep time to time in bed calculated as \[(Total sleep time/total time in bed) \* 100\]. Sleep efficiency was assessed by actigraphy, a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual's movement during sleep. Mean value from the past 7 days at each timepoint was evaluated. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.
