SKP-1041 is a new formulation of a marketed sleeping agent called zaleplon. Zaleplon is currently available as Sonata as well as several generic formulations. Sonata and its generics induce sleep soon after ingestion. SKP-1041, however, is a formulation that is designed to become active 2-3 hours after ingestion. It is intended for use in people who have no trouble falling to sleep but who often awaken in the middle of the night. This trial will determine the best dose to prevent those awakenings.
Patients will participate in the study for approximately 44 to 56 days, including a 14- to 21-day Screening Period, 4 Treatment Periods each followed by washout periods, and a final Follow-up Visit. Patients will receive their randomly assigned study medication and spend 2 nights in a sleep laboratory, subsequently returning home for a 4- to 7-day washout period between each treatment period. The fourth and final treatment period will include a third night at the site during which all patients will continue to receive the same study medication as on the first 2 nights of this treatment period. Blood will be drawn from all patients for pharmacokinetic analyses at specific time intervals. Patients will undergo final safety assessments 2 to 5 days after the last dose of study medication.

5 of the 67 patients who were enrolled and randomized into this crossover sleep study did not complete it. The reasons for discontinuation were withdrawal of consent (2 patients), automobile accident(1), family emergency (1) and lost to follow up(1). One additional patient withdrew after completing the sleep study but prior to the PK substudy.
A total of 394 potential patients were screened by 8 U.S. investigative sites for enrollment into this study. Of these potential patients, 327 failed to complete the screening process.

| FG000 | Baseline: All Randomized Patients | The second screening visit consisted of 2 consecutive sleep laboratory nights of placebo pretreatment and full PSG recordings. The 67 patients who met entry criteria were then randomized to four treatment sequences with their screening night mean PSG parameters defined as their baseline. This trial was comprised of 2 study periods: Sleep and Pharmacokinetic (PK). Each of 67 patients was randomly assigned a sequence of the four treatment arms, washed out, and then crossed over to the next assigned treatment in their sequence for the Sleep Study. For each of these treatment arms, two "double-dummy" tablets were administered at bedtime for two consecutive nights. An additional (third) dosing night allowed for pharmacokinetic characterization of the investigational zaleplon formulation. In this PK Substudy, patient's plasma concentrations were measured after a single dose in parallel group design. |
| FG001 | Placebo (Sugar Pill) | Each patient was assigned at some point in their randomized crossover sequence of four treatment arms to receive placebo treatment. Two placebo tablets were administered orally at bedtime for two consecutive nights during the Sleep Study, after which patients were released from the sleep laboratory, washed out at home for 4-7 days, and returned for the next treatment in their randomized sequence. |
| FG002 | 10 mg SKP-1041 | Each patient was assigned at some point in their randomized crossover sequence of four treatment arms to receive 10mg of the investigational zaleplon delayed and sustained release SKP-1041 tablets. One 10 mg SKP-1041 tablet and one placebo tablet were administered orally at bedtime for each of two consecutive nights during the Sleep Study. Afterward, patients were released from the sleep laboratory, washed out at home for 4-7 days, and returned to the sleep lab for the next treatment in their randomized sequence. |
| FG003 | 15 mg SKP-1041 | Each patient was assigned at some point in their randomized crossover sequence of four treatment arms to receive 15mg of the investigational zaleplon delayed and sustained release SKP-1041 tablets. One 15 mg SKP-1041 tablet and one placebo tablet were administered orally at bedtime for each of two consecutive nights during the Sleep Study. Afterward, patients were released from the sleep laboratory, washed out at home for 4-7 days, and returned to the sleep lab for the next treatment in their randomized sequence. |
| FG004 | 20 mg SKP-1041 | Each patient was assigned at some point in their randomized crossover sequence of four treatment arms to receive 20mg of the investigational zaleplon delayed and sustained release SKP-1041 tablets. Two 10 mg SKP-1041 tablets were administered orally at bedtime for each of two consecutive nights during the Sleep Study. Afterward, patients were released from the sleep laboratory, washed out at home for 4-7 days, and returned to the sleep lab for the next treatment in their randomized sequence. |

| Digit Symbol Substitution Test | Assessment of next-day residual cognitive effects. The Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) explores attention and psychomotor speed. Given a code table displaying the correspondence between pairs of digits (from 1 to 9) and symbols, the patient filled in blank squares with the symbol that was paired with the digit displayed above the square. The patient was required to fill in as many squares as possible in 180 seconds. | 9 hours after tablet ingestion |
| Digit Span Test | Assessment of next day residual cognitive effects via testing immediate recall of numbers. The patient was given a string of digits and asked to repeat them forward, and then a second string of digits to repeat backward. The score was the number of correct responses, where the digits were repeated correctly. One point was given for each correctly repeated string of digits. The maximum subscore in the Digits Forward was 16, and the maximum subscore in the Digits Backward was 14, for a total score of 30. | 9 hours post-dose |
| Visual Analog Scale (Sedation) | Self-assessment of next morning sedation. Patients answered the question "How alert do you feel?" via a 100mm scale on which 0mm indicated "very sleepy" and 100mm indicated "wide awake and alert".The VAS measures a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured. Operationally, a VAS is usually a horizontal line, 100 mm in length, anchored by word descriptors at each end (in this case, sleepiness and alertness). Patients were asked to mark the point on the line that they felt represented their current state. The VAS score was determined by measuring in millimeters from the left-hand end of the line to the point that the patient marked. | 9 hours after tablet ingestion |

| Literature-based estimates of WASO (Wake After Sleep Onset) SD (Standard Deviation) range from 39 to 45 minutes. Null hypothesis: difference between mean WASO3-7 values for placebo and the 15-mg SKP-1041 dose level equals 0. By using a 2-sided, 1-sample t test at the 5% level of significance of this null hypothesis and an assumed SD of 45 minutes, a sample size of 54 completed patients was calculated to provide 90% power to detect a mean treatment difference of 20 minutes. | Mixed Models Analysis | No adjustment for multiple testing was made for secondary efficacy endpoints. | 0.0757 | Adjusted mean differences were analyzed via general linear model that used change from baseline as response variable and included effects for patient, period, sequence, and treatment. | Mean Difference (Net) | -6.912 | Standard Error of the Mean | 2.757 | 2-Sided | 95 | -14.546 | 0.722 | A negative mean change from baseline indicates an improvement. | No | Superiority or Other |
