zaleplon has been researched along with Chronic Insomnia in 86 studies

zaleplon: an azabicyclo(4.3.0)nonane; a nonbenzodiazepine; one of the so-called of Z drugs (zopiclone, eszopiclone, zolpidem, and zaleplon) for which there is some correlation with tumors; a hypnotic with less marked effect on psychomotor functions compared to lorazepam
zaleplon : A pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine having a nitrile group at position 3 and a 3-(N-ethylacetamido)phenyl substituent at the 7-position.

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline in Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) Score of Lemborexant 10 mg and Lemborexant 5 mg Compared to Zolpidem ER and Placebo on Day 31

"The FSS is a self-report scale on which participants are instructed to choose a number from 1 to 7 that indicates their degree of agreement with each of 9 statements about their fatigue where 1 indicates strongly disagree, and 7 indicates strongly agree. The FSS total score was the sum of all responses to the 9 questions. The FSS average item score was the average of the score for each item. Higher total scores and higher average item scores indicated greater fatigue." (NCT02783729)

Change From Baseline in Mean Body Sway Upon Awakening in the Morning for Lemborexant 5 mg and Lemborexant 10 mg Compared to Zolpidem ER on Days 2/3

Body sway is detected through a cable around the participant's waist by the ataxia meter. Body sway is measured in units of one-third degree of the angle of arc. For ease in reporting, these are called arbitrary units, with a higher number indicating more body sway (less postural stability). Change from baseline in mean body sway on Days 2 and 3 was reported.

LPS: amount of time in minutes from lights off to first epoch of 20 consecutive epochs of non-wakefulness. WASO: amount of time in minutes of wake from the onset of persistent sleep until lights. WASO2H: amount of time in minutes of wake during the interval from 240 minutes after lights off until lights on. TST: amount of time in minutes of sleep from sleep onset until terminal awakening.

Change From Baseline in Mean Power of Attention (POA) and Speed of Memory Retrieval (SOMT) on Days 2/3

POA reflects the ability to focus attention and process information. POA is calculated from the sum of simple reaction time, choice reaction time and digit vigilance. SOMT reflects time taken to retrieve information from working and episodic memory. SOMT is a composite score created by combining numerical working memory and spatial working memory and word recognition and picture recognition. Cognitive performance assessment was done by a computerized performance assessment battery (PAB) which was administered on a laptop computer. A positive change from baseline reflects impairment and a lower value of decrease from baseline indicates better performance. Change from baseline to average POA and SOMT on Days 2 and 3 was reported. (NCT02783729)

Change From Baseline in Mean Quality of Memory (QOM) and Continuity of Attention (COA) on Days 2/3

QOM represents the ability to store information in memory and subsequently retrieve it. It is a composite score created by combining accuracy measures from 2 sets of working memory and 4 sets of episodic memory. Two sets of working memory were included: numerical and spatial working memory, and ranges from -2 to 2. Four sets of episodic memory were included: immediate and delayed word recall, and word and picture recognition, and ranges from -200 to 400. COA is the ability to sustain attention. Number of correct responses (out of 50) for choice reaction time was added to total number of targets correctly identified (out of 45) digit vigilance minus number of false alarms (total score of -45 to 95). Higher values were better. Change from baseline to average QOM and COA on Days 2 and 3 was reported. (NCT02783729)

sSE: percentage of sTST per subjective time spent in bed asleep, calculated as the interval from the time attempted to sleep to time stopped trying to sleep for the night, and time spent asleep derived from subjective time spent in bed minus sWASO. sWASO: estimated minutes of wake at night after initial sleep onset to time stopped trying to sleep for the night. sSE was analyzed with DHR on an electronic sleep diary. Subjective measures were derived from sleep diaries entries, collected daily and analyzed at appropriate intervals. (NCT02783729)

Persistence of Effect: Mean Change From Study Baseline and Period 2 Baseline (Month 6) in sSOL, sWASO, and sTST at Months 3 and 6 Exposure Compared to Month 1

sSOL was defined as estimated minutes from the time that the participant attempted to sleep until sleep onset. sWASO: sum of estimated minutes of wake during the night after initial sleep onset until the time the participant stopped trying to sleep for the night, operationalized as the time the participant got out of bed for the day. sTST: minutes of sleep from sleep onset to time stopped trying to sleep for the night. At 3 and 6 months of exposure, the change from Baseline was compared to either the lower bound of the 95% CI for sTST or the upper bound of the 95% CI (for sSOL and sWASO) at 1 month of exposure. Persistence of effect was defined as present if the mean change from Baseline at 6 months of exposure was above the lower bound of the 95% CI at 1 month of exposure for sTST and below the upper bound of the 95% CI at 1 month of exposure for sSOL and sWASO.
