Study summary

Biolab Sanus is developing a product in the form of orodispersible tablet containing 1.0 mg, 1.75 mg and 3.5 mg of Zolpidem®. Thus, it is intended to evaluate the efficacy of Zolpidem® Orodispersible 1.0 mg or 1.75 mg in women and Zolpidem Orodispersible 1.75 mg or 3.5 mg in men for the improvement of the maintenance insomnia disorder, through the evaluation of the Insomnia Severity Index, and using a Sleep Diary throughout the study, as well as to evaluate the latency of the sleep after a spontaneous or provoked wake up measured by polysomnography.

Read the detailed description

Information provided evidence for the therapeutic use of Zolpidem® in the treatment of insomnia. Several studies have emphasized the importance of using Zolpidem® in small doses, in the orodispersible form, in the treatment of insomnia. Accordingly, Biolab Sanus is developing a product in the form of orodispersible tablet containing 1.0 mg, 1.75 mg and 3.5 mg of Zolpidem®. Thus, it is intended to evaluate the efficacy of Zolpidem® Orodispersible 1.0 mg or 1.75 mg in women and Zolpidem Orodispersible 1.75 mg or 3.5 mg in men for the improvement of the maintenance insomnia disorder, through the evaluation of the Insomnia Severity Index, and using a Sleep Diary throughout the study, as well as to evaluate the latency of the sleep after a spontaneous or provoked wake up measured by polysomnography.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History of Allergy or to Zolpidem;
  2. All initial and secondary insomnia;
  3. Basal polysomnography with apnea and hypopnea index> 20 events / hour and PLM (Periodic Leg Movements)> 15 events / hour.
  4. Participants who used central nervous system medication or other medication known to interfere with the sleep / wake up cycle within 15 days prior to enrollment in the study, at the discretion of the study investigator.
  5. diseases or surgeries, at the discretion of the principal investigator, within 30 days prior to study inclusion.
  6. History of chemical dependence or alcohol abuse.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

DSM diagnostic criteria

The American Psychiatric Association’s manual of mental health diagnoses. DSM-5 (2013, revised as DSM-5-TR in 2022) replaced DSM-IV, and some studies still name the older edition. “Meets DSM criteria for …” means diagnosed by that edition’s diagnostic criteria, usually by a clinician in an interview.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Difference Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) as assessed by questionnaire before treatment and after the treatment

    To analyse the efficacy of Zolpidem® Orodispersible treatment 1.0 mg or 1.75 mg in women and 1.75 mg and 3.5 mg in men, compared to placebo, after taking the medication when a spontaneous wake up occurs during 28 days. The assessement will be performed by means of the standard questionnaire before and at the end of the treatment period. The computed mean difference for each treatment will be compared by ANOVA (treatment doses vs placebo in each gender) in order to assess its statistical significance.

    Time frame: 28 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Total Sleep Time (polysomnography parameter)

    Total Sleep Time after a provoked wake up, and the administration of 1 tablet of Zolpidem® Orodispersible 1.0 mg or 1.75 mg in women and 1.75 mg or 3.5 mg in men, as compared to placebo administration after a provoked wake up.

    Time frame: 1 day

  2. Sleep Efficiency (polysomnography parameter)

    Sleep Efficiency after a provoked wake up, and the administration of 1 tablet of Zolpidem® Orodispersible 1.0 mg or 1.75 mg in women and 1.75 mg or 3.5 mg in men, as compared to placebo administration after a provoked wake up.

    Time frame: 1 day

  3. Sleep Latency (polysomnography parameter)

    Sleep Latency after a provoked wake up, and the administration of 1 tablet of Zolpidem® Orodispersible 1.0 mg or 1.75 mg in women and 1.75 mg or 3.5 mg in men, as compared to placebo administration after a provoked wake up.

    Time frame: 1 day

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 27, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
