• Patients with a history of substance abuse, substance dependence or lifestyle that precludes the diagnosis of insomnia disorder
• Patients who smoke during the night.
• Shift workers or persons who have crossed more than 3 time zones by aircraft (within 1 month of the trial) or plan to do so during the trial.
• Pregnant, lactating, breastfeeding, or intends to become pregnant during the course of the study and one month thereafter (females only). All women must have a negative pregnancy test at the Screening Visit,or be surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or hysterectomy) or have a postmenopausal status (no menses) for at least one year for women older than 50 year or have postmenopausal status (no menses) for at least two years for women 50 year or younger.

Primary Outcome(s)

Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of two doses of Lorediplon (5 and 10 mg), during two consecutive nights compared to placebo on Wake after Sleep Onset (WASO) measured by polysomnography (PSG) in adult patients with insomnia disorder.

Primary end point(s): WASO change from baseline (minutes) measured by polysomnograpy (PSG) comparing Lorediplon (mean of two nights for each dose) with placebo (mean of two nights).

Secondary Objective: To evaluate dose-response relationship of two doses of Lorediplon and placebo assessed by Wake after Sleep Onset (WASO) measured by polysomnography (PSG).
To evaluate the efficacy of two doses of Lorediplon, during two consecutive nights compared to Zolpidem on Wake after Sleep Onset (WASO) measured by polysomnography (PSG).
To evaluate the efficacy of Zolpidem during two consecutive nights compared to placebo on Wake after Sleep Onset (WASO) measured by polysomnography (PSG) in adult patients with insomnia disorder.
To compare the effect of two doses of Lorediplon versus placebo and versus Zolpidem on:
• PSG measurements
• Patient reported measurements (recorded by patient questionnaire or VAS
• Next-day residual effects
• Safety and tolerability
• Pharmacokinetics

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: December 2015

Secondary Outcome(s)

Secondary end point(s): Dose-response relationship of two doses of Lorediplon versus placebo assessed by WASO.
WASO change from baseline (minutes) measured by polysomnograpy (PSG) comparing Lorediplon (mean of two nights for each dose) with Zolpidem (mean of two nights). Comparison of Lorediplon versus placebo and versus Zolpidem on the following parameters (change from baseline):
• PSG measurements:
-Total Sleep Time (TST),
-Latency to Persistent Sleep (LPS),
-Sleep Efficiency Index (SEI),
-Sleep Onset Latency (SOL),
-Number of awakenings (NAW),
-Total time awake (TTA),
-Sleep Efficiency Index by quarter of the night,
-Sleep Efficiency Index by hour of the night.
-Sleep stage effects.
-WASO by ¼ of the night.
• Patient reported measurements (recorded by patient questionnaire or VAS):
-Subjective total sleep time (sTST),
-Subjective Wake after Sleep Onset (sWASO),)
-Subjective Sleep Latency,
-Subjective number of awakenings (sNAW),
-Subjective Sleep quality (sSQ),
-Subjective Sleep onset (sSO),
-Sleepiness scale.
A PSQ (post sleep questionnaire) will be administered to measure sWASO, sTST, sSleep Latency, sSleep Quality & sNAW, each morning in the sleep lab, within the 30 min of awakening, for two days.
Sleep scoring (S-VAS) will be used for subjective Sleep Onset, subjective sleep quality and for subjective Sleepiness.
• Next-day residual effects.
Next-day residual effects evaluated by:
-Neurocognitive assessment:
Digit symbol substitution test (DSST).
-Psychomotor assessment:
Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT).
-Sleepiness:
Sleepiness-Alertness Visual Analogue Scale
