Change From Baseline in Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO) From Persistent Sleep Onset to Lights-on (Final Wake Time)
WASO is the total wake time (in minutes) calculated from persistent sleep onset to lights-on (final wake time). In this outcome measure, change from baseline at Day 14 in overall (for the whole 8-hour period) WASO and in each quarter (for the each 2-hour duration) WASO of the 8-hour PSG recording is reported.
Change From Baseline in Total Sleep Time (TST)
TST is the duration of total sleep time (NREM + REM) (in minutes) from lights off to lights on during PSG recording. In this outcome measure, change from baseline at Day 14 in overall (for the whole 8-hour period) TST and in each quarter (for the each 2-hour duration) TST of the 8-hour PSG recording is reported.
Change From Baseline in Latency to Persistent Sleep (LPS)
LPS is duration in minutes from lights off to the first epoch of 20 consecutive non-wake epochs.
Change From Baseline in Number of Awakenings (NAW)
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.
Change From Baseline in Mean Duration of Awakenings
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.
Change From Baseline in Duration of Stage N1, N2, N3, and REM Sleep (in Minutes)

Change From Baseline in Percentage of N1, N2, N3 Stages, and REM Sleep Duration
The change from baseline in duration of sleep time (percentage) of NREM sleep 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) and REM sleep was reported. Duration of sleep time was calculated from lights off to lights on during PSG recording.
Change From Baseline in Latency to the First Period and Each Subsequent Period (Periods 2, 3, 4) of REM Sleep
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.
Change From Baseline in REM Density
REM density is the total number of REMs divided by the total duration of REM sleep in hours during time in bed (TIB).
Change From Baseline in REM Activity (REMA)
REMA is the total number of REMs during REM sleep, observed on the electrooculographic (EOG) channels of the PSG. The rapid eye movements must be at least 25 microvolts (uV) in amplitude.
Change From Baseline in Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) Score
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.
Change From Baseline in Consensus Sleep Diary - Core (CSD-C) Parameters
The CSD-C collects subjective responses to a series of questions related to participant's daily sleep pattern (i.e., time to bed, time to fall asleep, time to final awakening, and a question related to quality of sleep). Sleep parameters including subjective sleep latency (sSL), subjective TST (sTST), subjective WASO (sWASO), and subjective sleep quality (sSQ), were derived from the CSD-C responses. Change from baseline in sSL, sTST and sWASO was reported in this outcome measure.
Change From Baseline in CSD-C Parameter: Subjective Sleep Quality (sSQ)
The CSD-C collects subjective responses to a series of questions related to participant's daily sleep pattern (i.e., time to bed, time to fall asleep, time to final awakening, and a question related to quality of sleep). Sleep parameters including sSL, sTST, sWASO, and sSQ, were derived from the CSD-C responses. Change from baseline in sSQ was reported in this outcome measure. Sleep quality is rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (very poor) to 5 (very good). Higher ratings indicate better sleep quality.
Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S) Scale
The severity of illness for each participant was rated using the CGI-S on a 7-point Likert scale with a total score range of 1-7 where a higher score represented a worse outcome. The participants were rated as: 1 = normal, not at all ill; 2 = borderline mentally ill; 3 = mildly ill; 4 = moderately ill; 5 = markedly ill; 6 = severely ill; and 7 = extremely ill. In this study, the CGI-S was assessed based on the severity of insomnia disorder.
Mean Score of the Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) Scale
The overall improvement in the participant's condition was assessed using CGI-I on a 7-point Likert scale with a total score range of 0-7 where a higher score represented a worse outcome. The participants were rated as: 0 = not assessed, 1 = very much improved, 2 = much improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = no change, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = much worse, and 7 = very much worse. In this study, the CGI-I was assessed based on the improvement of insomnia disorder.
Change From Baseline in the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D) Total Score
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.
Change From Baseline in the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) Score
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. Higher scores indicate severe depression.
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
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.

Number of Participants With Suicidal Ideation and Suicidal Behavior Using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
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.
Change From Baseline in the Withdrawal Symptoms as Measured by the Physician Withdrawal Checklist (PWC-20) Total Score
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.
