Detailed Description:

Subjects who met the study criteria entered a 35-night, Double-Blind Treatment Period. During the Double-Blind Treatment Period, subjects were randomized to receive TAK-375 4 mg, TAK-375 8 mg, or placebo. This period was followed by a 7-night, Single-Blind Placebo Run-out Period to evaluate possible rebound insomnia and withdrawal effects. Throughout the course of the study, subjects were asked to maintain daily diaries and return to the clinic weekly for Clinical Global Impressions (CGI), and review of sleep diaries, concomitant medications, and adverse events.

  Eligibility
Ages Eligible for Study:   65 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No

  • The subject had previously participated in a study involving TAK-375.
  • The subject had participated in any other investigational study, or taken any investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives prior to the first day of single-blind study medication, whichever was longer.
  • The subject had sleep schedule changes required by employment (eg, shift worker) within 3 months prior to the first day of single-blind study medication, or had flown across greater than 3 time zones within 7 days prior to Initial Screening.
  • The subject had participated in a weight loss program or had substantially altered his/her exercise routine within 30 days prior to the first day of single-blind study medication.
  • The subject had a history of seizures, sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), restless leg syndrome, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, mental retardation, or cognitive disorder.
