Efficacy and Safety of KI1001 in ≥ 55 Years Old Insomnia Patients

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
KI1001(Circadin®, Prolonged release tablet which contains melatonin) has showed its efficacy to improve sleep quality in over 55 years old primary insomnia patients. This is a bridging study to investigate the efficacy and safety of KI1001(Circadin®) in Korean patients.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Studies throughout the world have shown that insomnia is a common complaint that occurs in 10-50% of the population depending on age, sex and country. Among the wide variety of available treatments of sleep disturbances, the most commonly prescribed hypnotics are the benzodiazepines (BZD) and non-BZD hypnotics. However, these hypnotics were often associated with rebound, dependency, tolerance, higher risk of falls mainly in the elderly population, anterograde memory disturbances and increased risk for motor accidents the next day. In response to the unmet clinical need for a safe and efficacious alternative treatment for primary insomnia, that in addition to treating quantitative sleep problems, would improve sleep quality and daytime functioning, a clinical development program on melatonin for the treatment of primary insomnia was initiated. This study is conducted using a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled parallel group design, after a single-blind placebo period. Primary insomnia patients aged over 55 will be screened for entry into the study. After placebo run-in period, Patients will enter a 3 weeks double-blind treatment period. Primary parameter is quality of sleep, secondary parameters are including getting to sleep, awakening from sleep, behavior following wakefulness, quality of day and night, sleep latency and quality of life.

Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria: Male or female and aged ≥55 years Suffering from primary insomnia according to DSM-IV criteria and for whom this is the consultation complaint Good anticipated compliance Written informed consent to participate in the study given by the patient voluntarily Confirmed diagnosis of primary insomnia by sleep history questionnaire Established baseline pathology A good compliance during the two-weeks placebo run-in period defined as 70% to 130% of prescribed tablets Correct use of the Sleep Diary and of the LSEQ Exclusion Criteria: According to DSM-IV, subjects belonging to the following groups are excluded : 780.59(breathing related sleep disorder); 307.45(circadian thyrhm sleep disorder); 307.47(dyssomnia not otherwise specified); 780.XX(sleep disorder due to a general medical condition) Known or suspected hypersensitivity to exogenous melatonin or melatonin receptor agonists Known positive serology for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) I antibodies or HIV II antibodies Known chronic active viral hepatitis Drug abuse or history or drug abuse(including alcohol) History of severe pathology likely to recur during or immediately after the study History of severe cardiac disorders History of severe neurological disorders or cerebral neurosurgery History of severe psychiatric disorders, especially psychosis and depression, sismotherapy depression will be assessed by the Raskin scale : a patient with a total score ≥ 6 will not be included anxiety will be assessed by the Covi scale : a patient with a total score ≥ 6 will not be included dementia will be assessed with the Mini Mental State (MMS) : a patient with a score ≤ 24 or 26 (depending on the socio-educational level of the patient) will not be included Neuro-psychiatric pathologies that might interfere with insomnia, patient assessment or study medication Use of psychotropic treatments for the past 3 months and during the study Use of benzodiazepines or other hypnotics during preceding two weeks (including all benzodiazepines; zopiclone, zolpidem, zaleplon, barbiturates, buspirone and hydroxyzine) All hypnotics or treatments used as an hypnotic are not allowed during the study Severe pain likely to interfere with sleep Other sleep disorders according to DSM-IV criteria identified by numerical ICD 9 code: breathing-related sleep disorder (780.59), circadian rhythm sleep disorder (307.45), dyssomnia not otherwise specified (307.47) and other sleep disorders (780.xx) Serious diseases that could interfere with patient assessment Organic pathologies which have not stabilised and that might interfere with sleep, patient assessment or study medication Intercurrent acute or chronic somatic diseases likely to interact with sleep (for example: chronic pain from any aetiology, benign prostatic hypertrophy likely to require surgery in the coming six months) Any concomitant documented progressive disease likely to interfere with the conduct of the study Any medical condition which might interfere with the completion of the study, or which would be adversely affected and thereby increasing the risk for the patient or interfering with patient assessments. Patients with an excessive consumption of alcohol, coffee or tea Patients with an irregular lifestyle or life pattern (e.g. shift workers and patients likely to be jet lagged) Patients with a Body Mass Index above 30 - obesity Patients who have taken any investigational drug within two months preceding the first dose of the study drug. Investigational drug is defined as any drug for which a marketing authorisation has not been granted in the country where the study was conducted. Patients receiving concomitant treatment which are not permitted A positive drug screen (benzodiazepines and opiates) during the initial two week placebo run-in period
