  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: First dose of study drug (Day 1) to 14 days after last dose of study drug (approximately up to 2 years 7 months)

  2. Core Phase: Number of Participants in Each Category With Clinician's Global Impression of Change-Irregular Sleep-Wake Rhythm Disorder (CGIC-ISWRD) Global Score at Day 29

    The CGIC-ISWRD scale is a validated categorical measure of change in the participant's clinical condition between baseline and follow-up visits. It relies on both direct examination of the participant and an interview of the informant. The instrument consisted of 3 parts: a guided baseline interview administered to the participant and an informant, a follow-up interview administered to the participant and an informant, and a clinician's rating review. The baseline interview served as a reference for future ratings. During the baseline interview, the rater evaluated participant regarding domains of (1) sleep and wake symptoms; (2) mood and behavioral symptoms; (3) attention/arousal; and (4) social functioning. In the follow-up interview, a 7-pointscale was used, from 1 = marked improvement, 4 = no change, to 7 = marked worsening, to score each of the 4 domains and to provide a global score (1 \[marked improvement\] to 7 \[marked worsening\]).

    Time frame: Day 29

  3. Core Phase: Change From Baseline in the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI-10) Total Score at Day 29

    The NPI-10 assessed a wide range of behaviors seen in dementia for both frequency and severity. It is a 10 item questionnaire with the following domains: delusions, hallucinations, agitation/aggression, depression/dysphoria, anxiety, elation/euphoria, apathy/indifference, disinhibition, irritability/liability and aberrant motor behavior. The total score was summarized and analyzed. This scale was administered with the caregiver as proxy for the participant. The total score was a sum of the 10 domains, where the score of each domain was calculated as frequency (scale: 1=occasionally to 4=very frequently) \* Severity (scale: 1=Mild to 3=Severe). Each domain has a maximum score of 12 and all domains were equally weighted for total score, thus the range for the total score is 0 to 120 with 0 being completely healthy to 120 which is the worse score participant could get.

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 29

  4. Core Phase: Change From Baseline in the Sleep Disorders Inventory (SDI) Score at Day 29

    The SDI is an expanded version of one item of the NPI. It described the frequency, severity, and caregiver burden of sleep-disturbed behaviors during a period prior to its administration. The SDI consists of the 7 sub questions relating to sleep from the NPI sleep disturbance item. Each of the sub questions is a separate question with frequency, severity, and caregiver distress rated by the caregiver with respect to the patient-participant for the 2 weeks prior to the visit. The SDI score is derived as the product of the average of the frequency ratings and the average of the severity ratings (range: 0-12 \[worst\]).

PrimaryCore Phase: Change From Baseline in Mean Intradaily Variability Over Week 1 of Treatment

Intradaily variability gives an indication of irregular sleep-wake rhythm disorder (ISWRD) by quantifying the number and strength of transitions between rest and activity bouts, derived by the ratio of the mean squares of the difference between all successive hours (first derivative) and the mean squares around the grand mean (overall variance). The variable has a theoretical range of 0 to 2, with higher values indicating higher fragmentation. Intradaily variability was determined by Actigraphy. Actigraphy was performed with an accelerometer that was worn on the wrist like a watch. It was programmed to monitor degree and intensity of movements while the device was being worn. Change from baseline to average first 7 nights of treatment was reported.

PrimaryCore Phase: Change From Baseline in AMP Over Week 2 of Treatment

AMP was amplitude of rest-activity rhythm calculated as the difference between M10 and L5. L5 was defined as the average activity across the least active 5-hour period per 24-hour period, with high values indicating restlessness. M10 was defined as the average activity during the most active 10-hour period per 24-hour period with low levels indicating inactivity. AMP was determined by Actigraphy. Actigraphy was performed with an accelerometer that was worn on the wrist like a watch. It was programmed to monitor degree and intensity of movements while the device was being worn. Change from baseline to average second 7 nights of treatment was reported.

Other pre-specifiedCore Phase: Number of Participants in Each Category With Clinician's Global Impression of Change-Irregular Sleep-Wake Rhythm Disorder (CGIC-ISWRD) Global Score at Day 29

The CGIC-ISWRD scale is a validated categorical measure of change in the participant's clinical condition between baseline and follow-up visits. It relies on both direct examination of the participant and an interview of the informant. The instrument consisted of 3 parts: a guided baseline interview administered to the participant and an informant, a follow-up interview administered to the participant and an informant, and a clinician's rating review. The baseline interview served as a reference for future ratings. During the baseline interview, the rater evaluated participant regarding domains of (1) sleep and wake symptoms; (2) mood and behavioral symptoms; (3) attention/arousal; and (4) social functioning. In the follow-up interview, a 7-pointscale was used, from 1 = marked improvement, 4 = no change, to 7 = marked worsening, to score each of the 4 domains and to provide a global score (1 \[marked improvement\] to 7 \[marked worsening\]).

Other pre-specifiedCore Phase: Change From Baseline in the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI-10) Total Score at Day 29

The NPI-10 assessed a wide range of behaviors seen in dementia for both frequency and severity. It is a 10 item questionnaire with the following domains: delusions, hallucinations, agitation/aggression, depression/dysphoria, anxiety, elation/euphoria, apathy/indifference, disinhibition, irritability/liability and aberrant motor behavior. The total score was summarized and analyzed. This scale was administered with the caregiver as proxy for the participant. The total score was a sum of the 10 domains, where the score of each domain was calculated as frequency (scale: 1=occasionally to 4=very frequently) \* Severity (scale: 1=Mild to 3=Severe). Each domain has a maximum score of 12 and all domains were equally weighted for total score, thus the range for the total score is 0 to 120 with 0 being completely healthy to 120 which is the worse score participant could get.

The SDI is an expanded version of one item of the NPI. It described the frequency, severity, and caregiver burden of sleep-disturbed behaviors during a period prior to its administration. The SDI consists of the 7 sub questions relating to sleep from the NPI sleep disturbance item. Each of the sub questions is a separate question with frequency, severity, and caregiver distress rated by the caregiver with respect to the patient-participant for the 2 weeks prior to the visit. The SDI score is derived as the product of the average of the frequency ratings and the average of the severity ratings (range: 0-12 \[worst\]).
