Background: Improvements in sleep-onset, maintenance, and daytime functioning, are all important outcomes for the treatment of insomnia. These improvements are usually assessed by objective or patient-reported (subjective) measures or both. Some sleep-promoting drugs do not report consistently aligned subjective and objective outcomes. Therefore, we examined concordance in change from baseline (CFB) in sleep parameters (objective/subjective measures) and daytime functioning (subjective measures) in the clinical program of lemborexant (LEM), a dual-orexin receptor antagonist. Methods: Study E2006-G000-304 (NCT02783729), a 1-month, placebo (PBO)- and active-controlled (zolpidem; not discussed here) study, and Study E2006-G000-303 (NCT02952820), a 12-month, randomized, PBO-controlled study (first 6-months), evaluated the efficacy/safety of LEM 5mg (LEM5) and LEM 10mg (LEM10) in subjects with insomnia disorder. The primary/secondary endpoints in both studies included multiple objective/subjective sleep parameters and patient-reported measures, which were assessed for concordance. Results: In both studies, statistically significant improvements with LEM5/LEM10 were reported in multiple objective and patient-reported measures versus PBO, showing a concordance of results, with observed improvements continuing through 12 months. LEM was well tolerated; most treatment-emergent adverse events were mild/moderate. Conclusions: When deciding which sleep agent to prescribe, it is important that improvement can be demonstrated in both objective and patient-reported measures. LEM treatment showed concordance among observed measures.
