What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events

    Incidence of adverse events was defined as: (number of participants with adverse events/ number of participants analyzed in the safety analysis set)*100.

    An adverse event was defined as any unwanted or untoward disease or its symptom, sign, or abnormality in laboratory parameters in a subject who receives a study drug. An adverse event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study drug. The investigator or subinvestigator evaluated adverse events and recorded the results in the case report form (CRF). The investigator or subinvestigator recorded all adverse events occurring after the start of study treatment in the CRF, irrespective of the causal relationship with the study drug or the study procedures. All data collected from the follow-up was recorded in CRF.

    Measured: Up to 25 weeks (24 weeks treatment period & 1 week follow-up)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Mean Change From Baseline In Sleep Latency

    Based on subjective symptoms, the participants recorded their sleep latency (the amount of time measured in minutes it takes to fall asleep) in a sleep diary questionnaire for the week preceding the start of the study treatment (the day on which the patient was enrolled in the treatment period), as well as between the day on which the study treatment started and the Week 4 visit. For pre-treatment (screening period), the representative value was calculated from the data of the 7 days preceding enrollment in the treatment period. A median of all the data between the day of enrollment in the treatment period and the day before dose escalation judgment was presented as the data of the overall period. The change was calculated as the sleep latency of the overall period assessment - sleep latency at baseline (screening period).

    Measured: Baseline (screening period) and 4 weeks of treatment

  2. Mean Change From Baseline in Wake Time After Sleep Onset (WASO)

    Based on subjective symptoms, the participants recorded their WASO defined as total awakening time from falling asleep to final awakening in a sleep diary questionnaire for the week preceding the start of the study treatment (the day on which the patient was enrolled in the treatment period), as well as between the day on which the study treatment started and the Week 4 visit. For pre-treatment (screening period), the representative value was calculated from the data of the 7 days preceding enrollment in the treatment period. A median of all the data between the day of enrollment in the treatment period and the day before dose escalation judgment was presented as the data of the overall period. The change was calculated as the WASO of the overall period assessment - WASO at baseline (screening period).

    Measured: Baseline (screening period) and 4 weeks of treatment

  3. Mean Change From Baseline in Total Sleep Time

    Based on subjective symptoms, the participants recorded their total sleep time defined as total sleeping time from bedtime to final awakening in a sleep diary questionnaire for the week preceding the start of the study treatment (the day on which the patient was enrolled in the treatment period), as well as between the day on which the study treatment started and the Week 4 visit. For pre-treatment (screening period), the representative value was calculated from the data of the 7 days preceding enrollment in the treatment period. A median of all the data between the day of enrollment in the treatment period and the day before dose escalation judgment was presented as the data of the overall period. The change was calculated as the total sleep time of the overall period assessment - total sleep time at baseline (screening period).

    Measured: Baseline (screening period) and 4 weeks of treatment

  4. Mean Change From Baseline in Total Number of Awakenings

    Based on subjective symptoms, the participants recorded their number of awakenings defined as total number of spontaneous awakenings from falling asleep to final awakening in a sleep diary questionnaire for the week preceding the start of the study treatment (the day on which the patient was enrolled in the treatment period), as well as between the day on which the study treatment started and the Week 4 visit. For pre-treatment (screening period), the representative value was calculated from the data of the 7 days preceding enrollment in the treatment period. A median of all the data between the day of enrollment in the treatment period and the day before dose escalation judgment was presented as the data of the overall period. The change was calculated as the total number of awakenings of the overall period assessment - total number of awakenings at baseline (screening period).

    Measured: Baseline (screening period) and 4 weeks of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Eszopiclone 1 mg- Elderly, Eszopiclone 2 mg- Elderly and Eszopiclone 3 mg- Non-elderly in people with Insomnia, run by Eisai Co., Ltd. at 34 sites in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 34 sites in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Nov 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Adverse Events (time frame: Up to 25 weeks (24 weeks treatment period & 1 week follow-up)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00770692, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Nov 2012.
