A 2-Part Single Dose Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of E2006

Part A: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single oral doses of E2006 administered in the morning to healthy male and female subjects.

Part B: The purpose of this study is to evaluate selected pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters (e.g., polysomnographically defined sleep measures) with regard to dose response in subjects with primary insomnia following single oral dosing of E2006 in the evening approximately 30 minutes prior to the sleep period, compared with 10 mg zolpidem and placebo.

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 11

    The C-SSRS (mapped to Columbia Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment [C-CASA]) is an interview-based rating scale to systematically assess any suicidality, any suicidal behavior, any suicidal ideation. Any suicidality: emergence of any suicidal ideation or suicidal 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. Number of Participants with any suicidality has been reported for this outcome measure.

  6. Part B: Change From Baseline in Latency to Persistent Sleep (LPS) Assessed Using Polysomnography (PSG) Measurement at Day 1

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 1

    LPS was the duration of time in minutes from lights off to the first 30 seconds of recording (epoch) of 20 consecutive epochs of non-wakefulness as measured by PSG.

  7. Part B: Change From Baseline in Total Sleep Time (TST) Assessed Using PSG at Day 1

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 1

    TST was the duration in minutes including rapid eye movement (REM) sleep plus non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep during the time spent in bed.

  8. Part B: Change From Baseline in Sleep Efficiency Assessed Using PSG at Day 1

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 1

  19. Part B: Change From Day 1 (Pre-dose) in Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) Score at Day 6

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose), Day 6

    DSST is a cognitive test designed to assess psychomotor speed of performance requiring visual perception, spatial decision-making, and motor skills. It consists of 133 digits and requires the participant to substitute each digit with a simple symbol in a 90-second period. Each correct symbol is counted, and the total score ranges from 0 (less than cognitive functioning) to 133 (greater than cognitive functioning) as a description of DSST. An increase in score represents an improvement in an integrated measure of cognitive function.

  20. Part B: Change From Day 1 (Pre-dose) in Number of Lapses of Greater Than (>) 500- Milliseconds (Msec) Assessed by Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) at Day 6

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose), Day 6

    PVT, a computer-based test, is a chronometric measure of an individual's reaction to specified small changes in a labile environment. Participants were instructed to respond to a digital signal on a computer terminal by pressing a key. Errors of omission and commission are recorded. When a participant did not respond to the PVT signal within 500 msec, it was termed a lapse. The higher the number of lapses the greater the impairment.

  21. Part B: Change From Day 1 (Pre-dose) in Score on Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) at Day 6

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose), Day 6

    KSS is a 9-point scale, on which the participant has to mark his or her sleepiness during the previous 10 minutes. The scale ranges from 1, which indicates "extremely alert", to 9, which indicates "extremely sleepy, can't stay awake". Higher numbers indicating sleepier and lower numbers more alert.
