Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of SAGE-217 Compared to Placebo in Adult Participants With Comorbid Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Insomnia (NCT NCT03771664)

NCT ID: NCT03771664

Last Updated: 2023-11-29

Results Overview

Sleep Efficiency (SE) is the percentage of time in bed spent asleep, determined during an 8-hour overnight PSG recording. The PSG measures the physiological process of sleep by monitoring body functions including brain waves, eye movements, muscle activity or skeletal muscle activation, heart rhythm, blood oxygen saturation, and breathing functions. Stages of sleep include rapid eye movement (REM), non-rapid eye movement (NREM), NREM stage 1 (N1), NREM stage 2 (N2), and NREM stage 3 (N3), scored through evaluation of the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. The average of 2 nights' PSG measurements at Days 13 and 14 is reported in this outcome measure.

Participant Flow

Participants were enrolled in the study at 27 investigative sites in the United States from 04 February 2019 to 17 January 2020.

A total of 87 participants were randomized and 86 received drug or placebo. This study consisted of up to a 2-day single-blind placebo run-in, a 14-day double-blind treatment followed by a 7-day single-blind placebo run-out and a follow-up of up to 27 days.

NAW was calculated from the onset of persistent sleep until lights on. An awakening is defined as at least 2 consecutive epochs of wake. Individual awakenings were separated by at least 1 epoch of Stage N2 (also fairly light, with sudden increases in brain wave frequency known as sleep spindles), N3 (slow wave or deep sleep) or REM sleep.

An awakening is defined as at least 2 consecutive epochs of wake. Mean duration of awakenings is an arithmetic mean calculated as the sum of duration of all awakenings (in minutes) divided by the number of awakenings. In this outcome measure, change from baseline at Day 14 in overall (for the whole 8-hour period) mean duration of awakenings and in each quarter (for the each 2-hour duration) mean duration of awakenings is reported.

Latency to REM sleep (REML) for first period is the number of non-REM epochs in terms of minutes (stages N1 \[light sleep\], N2 \[also fairly light, with sudden increases in brain wave frequency known as sleep spindles\], N3 \[slow wave or deep sleep\]) from LPS to the first epoch of REM sleep. REML for second and subsequent REM periods is the number of non-REM and REM epochs in terms of minutes (stages N1, N2, N3, and REM) from LPS to the first epoch of the 2nd REM period, or subsequent REM period.

ISI is a validated questionnaire designed to assess the nature, severity, and impact of insomnia. The ISI uses a 5-point Likert scale to measure various aspects of insomnia severity (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = very severe), satisfaction with current sleep pattern (0 = very satisfied, 1 = satisfied, 2 = neutral, 3 = dissatisfied, 4 = very dissatisfied), and various aspects of the impact of insomnia on daily functioning (0 = not at all, 1 = a little, 2 = somewhat, 3 = much, 4 = very much). The ISI possible total score range is from 0 to 28, categorized as follows: 0 to 7 = "no clinically significant insomnia", 8 to 14 = "subthreshold insomnia", 15 to 21 = "clinical insomnia (moderate severity)", and 22 to 28 = "clinical insomnia (severe)". Higher scores indicate severe insomnia.

The 17-item HAM-D was used to rate the severity of depression in participants who were already diagnosed as depressed. The 17-item HAM-D comprises individual ratings related to the following symptoms: Depressed mood (sadness, hopeless, helpless, worthless), feelings of guilt, suicide, insomnia (early, middle, late), work and activities, retardation (slowness of thought and speech; Impaired ability to concentrate; Decreased motor activity), agitation, anxiety (psychic and somatic), somatic symptoms (gastrointestinal and general), genital symptoms, hypochondriasis, loss of weight, and insight. The HAM-D total score was calculated as the sum of the 17 individual item scores and could range from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicate severe depression.

PHQ-9 is a participant-rated depressive symptom severity scale to monitor severity over time for newly diagnosed participants or participants in current treatment for depression. Scoring is based on responses to specific questions, as follows: 0=not at all; 1=several days; 2=more than half the days; and 3=nearly every day. The PHQ-9 total score was calculated as the sum of the 9 individual item scores. The PHQ-9 total score was categorized as follows: 1 to 4=minimal depression, 5 to 9=mild depression, 10 to 14=moderate depression, 15 to 19=moderately severe depression; and 20 to 27=severe depression.

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. A TEAE is an AE that occurs after the first administration of double-blind study drug or placebo. SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is immediately life-threatening, requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, results in a congenital abnormality or birth defect.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Screening up to last follow-up visit (approximately 72 days)

Population: Safety set included all participants who received at least 1 dose of double-blind study drug.

Supine 12-lead ECGs were performed in triplicate and the standard intervals (heart rate, PR, QRS, QT, and QTcF) as well as any rhythm abnormalities were recorded. Criteria for potentially clinically significant ECG abnormalities included QTcF interval (msec)- females: \>450 to 480, male: \>450 to 470, females: \>480 to 500, male: \>470 to 500 or \>500.

Participants received SAGE-217 matching placebo capsules (single-blind), orally, once daily prior to Day 1 (Days -2 and -1) followed by self-administration of SAGE-217, 30 mg capsules, orally, once daily for 12 days. Thereafter participants received SAGE-217, 30 mg capsules, orally, once daily, 30 minutes prior to lights out (PSG) on Days 13 and 14 (double-blind). Thereafter participants self-administered SAGE-217 matching placebo capsules (single-blind), orally, once daily on Days 15 to 21.

C-SSRS scale was used to monitor suicidality. The C-SSRS includes 'yes' or 'no' responses for 5 questions for assessment of suicidal ideation and behavior. Any suicidal behavior: when response is "yes" for any these questions- actual attempt to suicide, engaged in non-suicidal self-injurious behavior, interrupted attempt, aborted attempt, preparatory acts. Any suicidal ideation: when response is "yes" for any of these questions- wish to be dead, non-specific active suicidal thoughts, active suicidal ideation with methods without intent to act or some intent to act, without specific plan or with specific plan and intent to suicide.

Timeframe: Baseline, Days 18, 22, 28, 35 and 42

Population: Safety set included all participants who received at least 1 dose of double-blind study drug. Overall number of participants analyzed signifies the number of participants with data available for analyses for this outcome measure. Number analyzed signifies the number of participants with data available for analyses at the specified time point.

The PWC-20 was used to monitor for the presence of potential withdrawal symptoms following discontinuation of IP. It consists of a list of 20 symptoms (loss of appetite, nausea-vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety-nervousness, irritability, dysphoric mood-depression, insomnia, fatigue-lethargy-lack of energy, poor coordination, restlessness-agitation, diaphoresis, tremor-tremulousness, dizziness-lightheadedness, headaches, muscle aches or stiffness, weakness, increased acuity \[sound, smell, touch, pain\], paresthesia, difficulty concentrating and remembering, depersonalization-derealization) that were rated by the investigator on a scale of 0 (not present) to 3 (severe). The total score was derived as the sum of individual item scores, which ranges from 0 to 60. Higher scores indicate severe withdrawal. The total scores of PWC-20 were reported in this outcome measure.
