About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Dose-Response, Cross-Over Study of TAK-375 With Chronic Insomnia (Phase II Study) -- Polysomnographic Evaluation

The purpose of this study is to determine the dose response of Ramelteon, once daily (QD), in Japanese subjects with Chronic Insomnia

Read the detailed description

Complaints of sleep disorder are increasing with today's aging society and changing lifestyle. Sleep disorders not only impact one's activities of daily living, but also impede one's social life, leading to reduced productivity and sometimes accidents through carelessness.

Ramelteon is a melatonin-1 receptor agonist under global development by Takeda Chemical Industries, Ltd., Osaka, Japan, for the treatment of transient and chronic insomnia and for the treatment of Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders.

Being tested
Ramelteon and Placebo (25 possible combinations total)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study of Chronic Insomnia, run by Takeda.

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 5 inclusion and 13 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 2 Jun 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Mean Latency to Persistent Sleep (time frame: Mean of Nights 1 and 2.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 2 Jun 2010.
