A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, 28-day, polysomnographic study of gabapentin in transient insomnia induced by sleep phase advance.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate multiple doses of gabapentin 250 mg on polysomnography (PSG) and participant-reported sleep assessments in a 5-h phase advance insomnia model.Adults reporting occasional disturbed sleep received gabapentin 250 mg (n = 128) or placebo (n = 128). On Days 1 and 28, participants received medication 30 min before bedtime and were in bed from 17:00 to 01:00, ?5 h before their habitual bedtime. Sleep was assessed by PSG, a post sleep questionnaire, and the Karolinska Sleep Diary. Next-day residual effects and tolerability were evaluated. On Days 2-27, participants took medication at home 30 min before their habitual bedtime.Treatment-group demographics were comparable. Gabapentin resulted in significantly less PSG wake after sleep onset (WASO) compared with placebo on Day 1 (primary endpoint, mean: 107.0 versus 149.1 min, p ? 0.001) and Day 28 (113.6 versus 152.3 min, p = 0.002), and significantly greater total sleep time (TST; Day 1: 347.6 versus 283.9 min; Day 28: 335.3 versus 289.1 min) (p ? 0.001). Participant-reported WASO and TST also showed significant treatment effects on both days. Gabapentin was associated with less %stage1 on Day 1, and greater %REM on Day 28, versus placebo. During home use, gabapentin resulted in significantly less participant-reported WASO and higher ratings of sleep quality. Gabapentin was well tolerated (most common adverse events: headache, somnolence) with no evidence of next-day impairment.Gabapentin 250 mg resulted in greater PSG and participant-reported sleep duration following a 5-h phase advance on Day 1 and Day 28 of use without evidence of next-day impairment, and greater sleep duration during at-home use.

Project description:Revefenacin is a once-daily long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) in clinical development for the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In a dose-ranging study, nebulized once-daily revefenacin had a long duration of action in patients after 7 days' administration of doses up to 700 ?g. In this multiple-dose study, the bronchodilation efficacy and adverse events profile were characterized in patients administered nebulized revefenacin once daily for 28 days.A total of 355 COPD patients (mean age 62 years, mean forced expiratory volume in 1 s [FEV1] 44% of predicted) were randomized in a double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study. Inhaled corticosteroids as well as short-acting bronchodilators were permitted. Once-daily treatments (44, 88, 175 or 350 ?g revefenacin or matching placebo) were administered by a standard jet nebulizer, for 28 days. The primary endpoint was change from baseline in D28 trough FEV1, and secondary endpoints included weighted mean FEV1 over 0 to 24 h and rescue medication (albuterol) use. Safety evaluations included adverse events, laboratory assessments, electrocardiograms and 24-h Holter profiles.Revefenacin (88, 175 and 350 ?g) significantly improved D28 trough FEV1 over placebo (187.4, 166.6 and 170.6 mL, respectively, all p < 0.001); 44 ?g produced a sub-therapeutic response. At doses ?88 ?g, more than 80% of patients achieved at least a 100-mL increase from baseline FEV1 in the first 4 h post dose compared with 33% of placebo patients. For doses ?88 ?g, D28 24 h weighted mean differences from placebo for FEV1 were numerically similar to respective trough FEV1 values, indicating bronchodilation was sustained for 24 h post dose. Doses ?88 ?g reduced the average number of albuterol puffs/day by more than one puff/day. The 350 ?g dose did not demonstrate additional efficacy over that observed with 175 ?g revefenacin. Revefenacin was generally well tolerated, with minimal reports of systemic anti-cholinergic effects.These data suggest that 88 and 175 ?g revefenacin are appropriate doses for use in longer-term safety and efficacy trials. Revefenacin offers the potential for the first once-daily LAMA for nebulization in patients with COPD who require or prefer a nebulized drug delivery option.ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02040792 .

Project description:Study objectivesTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Dimdazenil, a novel partial positive allosteric modulator for GABAA receptor in adults with insomnia disorder.MethodsThis was a 2-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase III study of Dimdazenil. The primary efficacy outcome was total sleep time (TST) analyzed by polysomnography (PSG) on day 13/14. Latency to persistent sleep (LPS), sleep efficiency (SE), and wake after sleep onset (WASO) were analyzed in the same way by polysomnography (PSG). The other secondary outcomes including the average subjective sleep latency (sSL), subjective TST (sTST), subjective SE (sSE), subjective WASO (sWASO), and subjective number of awakenings (sNAW) were analyzed from sleep diary data, and the insomnia severity index (ISI) was also assessed. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were monitored throughout the study.ResultsA total of 546 participants with insomnia (age ≥18 years) were randomized (2:1), received treatment with an oral dose of Dimdazenil (2.5 mg) or placebo, and analyzed. Compared to baseline and placebo, Dimdazenil demonstrated significant improvements in PSG measures, increased TST (71.09, 31.68 minutes, respectively; both p < 0.001), increased SE (13.26%, 5.55%, respectively; both < 0.001), reduced WASO (49.67, 20.16 minutes, respectively; both p < 0.001), and reduced LPS (21.65 minutes, p < 0.001; 6.46 minutes, p = 0.023). Compared to placebo, Dimdazenil also improved key self-reported measures of sTST (18.33 minutes, p < 0.001), sWASO (14.60 minutes, p < 0.001), sSL (4.23 minutes, p < 0.001), sSE (2.97%, p < 0.001), and sNAW (0.29, p < 0.001). Participants treated with Dimdazenil reported a significant improvement in ISI. Dimdazenil was well tolerated. The majority of TEAEs were mild or moderate. There were no clinically relevant treatment-related serious AEs and no deaths.ConclusionsDimdazenil of 2.5 mg provided significant benefit on sleep maintenance and sleep onset in individuals with insomnia disorder versus placebo, with a favorable safety profile and was well tolerated.Clinical trial informationA multicenter, randomized, double-blind phase III clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of EVT201 capsules compared to placebo in patients with insomnia disorders (http://www.chinadrugtrials.org), with the number of CTR20201068.

Project description:BackgroundChronic pelvic pain affects 2-24% of women worldwide and evidence for medical treatments is scarce. Gabapentin is effective in treating some chronic pain conditions. We aimed to measure the efficacy and safety of gabapentin in women with chronic pelvic pain and no obvious pelvic pathology.MethodsWe performed a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomised trial in 39 UK hospital centres. Eligible participants were women with chronic pelvic pain (with or without dysmenorrhoea or dyspareunia) of at least 3 months duration. Inclusion criteria were 18-50 years of age, use or willingness to use contraception to avoid pregnancy, and no obvious pelvic pathology at laparoscopy, which must have taken place at least 2 weeks before consent but less than 36 months previously. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive gabapentin (titrated to a maximum dose of 2700 mg daily) or matching placebo for 16 weeks. The online randomisation system minimised allocations by presence or absence of dysmenorrhoea, psychological distress, current use of hormonal contraceptives, and hospital centre. The appearance, route, and administration of the assigned intervention were identical in both groups. Patients, clinicians, and research staff were unaware of the trial group assignments throughout the trial. Participants were unmasked once they had provided all outcome data at week 16-17, or sooner if a serious adverse event requiring knowledge of the study drug occurred. The dual primary outcome measures were worst and average pain scores assessed separately on a numerical rating scale in weeks 13-16 after randomisation, in the intention-to-treat population. Self-reported adverse events were assessed according to intention-to-treat principles. This trial is registered with the ISRCTN registry, ISCRTN77451762.FindingsParticipants were screened between Nov 30, 2015, and March 6, 2019, and 306 were randomly assigned (153 to gabapentin and 153 to placebo). There were no significant between-group differences in both worst and average numerical rating scale (NRS) pain scores at 13-16 weeks after randomisation. The mean worst NRS pain score was 7·1 (standard deviation [SD] 2·6) in the gabapentin group and 7·4 (SD 2·2) in the placebo group. Mean change from baseline was -1·4 (SD 2·3) in the gabapentin group and -1·2 (SD 2·1) in the placebo group (adjusted mean difference -0·20 [97·5% CI -0·81 to 0·42]; p=0·47). The mean average NRS pain score was 4·3 (SD 2·3) in the gabapentin group and 4·5 (SD 2·2) in the placebo group. Mean change from baseline was -1·1 (SD 2·0) in the gabapentin group and -0·9 (SD 1·8) in the placebo group (adjusted mean difference -0·18 [97·5% CI -0·71 to 0·35]; p=0·45). More women had a serious adverse event in the gabapentin group than in the placebo group (10 [7%] of 153 in the gabapentin group compared with 3 [2%] of 153 in the placebo group; p=0·04). Dizziness, drowsiness, and visual disturbances were more common in the gabapentin group.InterpretationThis study was adequately powered, but treatment with gabapentin did not result in significantly lower pain scores in women with chronic pelvic pain, and was associated with higher rates of side-effects than placebo. Given the increasing reports of abuse and evidence of potential harms associated with gabapentin use, it is important that clinicians consider alternative treatment options to off-label gabapentin for the management of chronic pelvic pain and no obvious pelvic pathology.FundingNational Institute for Health Research.

Project description:Study objectivesTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Dimdazenil, a positive allosteric modulator with selectivity for α1, α5 subunit-containing GABAA receptors, on sleep variables in patients with insomnia disorder.MethodsIn this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, adults (18-65 years) with insomnia disorder were randomized (1:1:1:1 to receive daily oral placebo, Dimdazenil (1.5, 2.5, or 5 mg) for 14 days. The primary efficacy outcome was the total sleep time (TST) on day 1/2 and day 13/14, measured by polysomnography. The secondary outcome measures included (1) latency to persistent sleep (LPS), sleep efficiency (SE), wake after sleep onset (WASO) and number of awakenings (NAW) on days 1/2 and day 13/14, and (2) the average subjective sleep latency (sSL), total sleep time (sTST), wake after sleep onset (sWASO) and number of awakenings (sNAW) recorded in sleep diary and sleep questionnaire, and the evaluation of insomnia severity index. Rebound insomnia, withdrawal, and treatment-emergent adverse events were also assessed.ResultsOf 569 patients screened, 288 (76.4% female) were randomized and received one dose. For the primary outcomes, TST was significantly improved in the Dimdazenil 1.5, 2.5, and 5 mg group compared with the placebo group at day 1/2, and significantly improved in the Dimdazenil 2.5 and 5 mg groups compared with the placebo group at day 13/14. The Least Squares Means (standard errors) and 95% Confidence Intervals for the three active doses compared to placebo are 25.5 (8.31), (9.16, 41.89) for the 1.5 mg dose; 17.4 (8.19), (1.29, 33.55) for the 2.5 mg dose; 22.8 (8.15), (6.72, 38.80) for the 5 mg dose on day 1/2. Corresponding data on day 13/14 are 7.6 (8.07), (-8.24, 23.53) and 19.3 (8.06), (3.43, 35.17) and 18.2 (7.95), (2.49, 33.80). LPS was significantly reduced in the Dimdazenil 5 mg group compared with the placebo group on day 1/2. SE was significantly improved in the Dimdazenil 1.5 and 5 mg group compared with the placebo group at day 1/2. In the subjective sleep parameters, sSL on average was significantly lower in the Dimdazenil 1.5, 2.5, and 5 mg groups compared with the placebo group. sTST on average was significantly higher in the Dimdazenil 1.5, 2.5, and 5 mg groups compared with the placebo group. The most common TEAEs were dizziness, vertigo, and weakness with no clinically relevant treatment-related serious adverse events.ConclusionsDimdazenil of 1.5, 2.5, and 5 mg improved certain objective and subjective sleep outcomes in people with insomnia disorder, with a favorable safety profile. These findings suggested that Dimdazenil may represent a promising new treatment for insomnia disorder, a prevalent condition with limited effective and safe treatments available.Clinical trial informationA multicenter, randomized, double-blind, multidose, placebo parallel controlled phase II clinical study of EVT201 in the treatment of insomnia disorders (http://www.chinadrugtrials.org), with the number of CTR20150664.
