Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: All Main/Primary objectives are MK-4305 high dose compared to placebo, as measured by change from baseline:
Maintenance-
1. Mean subjective total sleep time (sTSTm) at Month 1.
2. Wakefulness after persistent sleep onset (WASO) by PSG at Month 1.
3. Mean subjective total sleep time (sTSTm) at Month 3.
4. Wakefulness after persistent sleep onset (WASO) by PSG at Month 3.
Onset
5. Mean subjective time to sleep onset (sTSOm) at Month 1.
6. Latency to onset of persistent sleep (LPS) by PSG at Month 1.
7. Mean subjective time to sleep onset (sTSOm) at Month 3.
8. Latency to onset of persistent sleep (LPS) by PSG at Month 3.
Safety
9. Safety and tolerability of MK-4305 for up to 3 months of treatment.
Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoints in this study will be derived from polysomnographic measures and from responses in the patient's daily e-diary. PSG values for statistical analysis will be based on standardized readings from a PSG reading center. Subjective data for statistical analysis will be based on patient responses to the morning and evening questionnaires provided in the e-diary.

The following parameters will be evaluated as the primary endpoints:
• Maintenance:
o Change from baseline in mean subjective total sleep time (sTSTm) on the daily e-diary at Month 1 and Month 3
o Change from baseline in wakefulness after persistent sleep onset (WASO) by PSG at Month 1 and Month 3
• Onset:
o Change from baseline in mean subjective time to sleep onset (sTSOm) by daily e-diary at Month 1 and Month 3
o Change from baseline in latency to onset of persistent sleep (LPS) by PSG at Month 1 and Month 3
Safety endpoints:
• Adverse Experience Reporting
• Laboratory evaluations (hematology, chemistry, urinalysis)
• Urine drug screen
• Pregnancy test
• Alcohol breath test (PQ-cohort only)
• Physical examination
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Vital signs
• Tyrer Withdrawal Symptom Questionnaire via the evening e-diary questionnaire
• Digit Symbol Substitution Test (PQ-cohort only)
• Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale
• Motor Vehicle Accidents and Violations
Secondary Objective: All Secondary objectives are MK-4305 high dose compared to placebo, as measured by change from baseline:
Maintainence
1. sTSTm at Week 1
2. WASO at Night 1
Onset
3. sTSOm at Week 1
