Recruitment Details  
Pre-assignment Details A 2-week single-blind placebo Run-in occurred prior to randomization. 1 of the 1023 randomized participants enrolled in 2 separate suvorexant trials and is excluded from all summaries and analyses. 1 other randomized participant was not treated and is in Participant Flow Table below, but is excluded from all other summaries and analyses.
Arm/Group Title Suvorexant Low Dose (LD) (TRT/Extension [EXT] Phase) Suvorexant High Dose (HD) (TRT/EXT Phase) Placebo (TRT/EXT Phase) Suvorexant LD (Run-out [RO], After Suvorexant LD in TRT/EXT) Placebo (RO, After Suvorexant LD in TRT/EXT) Suvorexant HD (RO, After Suvorexant HD in TRT/EXT) Placebo (RO, After Suvorexant HD in TRT/EXT) Placebo (RO, After Placebo in TRT/EXT)
Hide Arm/Group Description After a 2-week single-blind placebo Run-in, participants received suvorexant LD (20 mg for participants aged 18 to <65 years; and 15 mg for participants aged ≥65 years) daily before bedtime during the 3-month DB TRT Phase, and could continue on same dose during the optional 3-month DB EXT Phase. After a 2-week single-blind placebo Run-in, participants received suvorexant HD (40 mg for participants aged 18 to <65 years; and 30 mg for participants aged ≥65 years) daily before bedtime during the 3-month DB TRT Phase, and could continue on same dose during the optional 3-month DB EXT Phase. After a 2-week single-blind placebo Run-in, participants received placebo to suvorexant daily before bedtime during the 3-month DB TRT Phase, and could continue on placebo to suvorexant during the optional 3-month DB EXT Phase. After receiving suvorexant LD during the 3-Month DB TRT Phase, and for some participants, the optional 3-Month DB EXT Phase, participants received their same dose of suvorexant during a 1-week DB RO Phase. After receiving suvorexant LD during the 3-Month DB TRT Phase, and for some participants, the optional 3-Month DB EXT Phase, participants received placebo to suvorexant during a 1-week DB RO Phase. After receiving suvorexant HD during the 3-Month DB TRT Phase, and for some participants, the optional 3-Month DB EXT Phase, participants received their same dose of suvorexant during a 1-week DB RO Phase. After receiving suvorexant HD during the 3-Month DB TRT Phase, and for some participants, the optional 3-Month DB EXT Phase, participants received placebo to suvorexant during a 1-week DB RO Phase. After receiving placebo to suvorexant during the 3-Month DB TRT Phase, and for some participants, the optional 3-Month DB EXT Phase, participants received placebo to suvorexant during a 1-week DB RO Phase.

1.Primary Outcome
Title Suvorexant HD Versus Placebo: Change From Baseline in Mean Subjective Total Sleep Time (sTSTm) at Month 1
Hide Description sTSTm is the average over a defined day range of the participant's report of the total amount of time spent asleep before waking for the day, as recorded in a daily electronic diary (e-diary). Averages were derived by taking the mean of all available daily measurements (excluding the mornings following any polysomnography [PSG] nights) falling within the day range; Month 1 range is Days 23-30 (Day 1 is day of first double-blind dose). A participant must have at least 3 days of data during the defined day range to calculate an average for the day range; otherwise, the mean value was considered missing for that day range. The baseline value is the mean of the last 7 daily measurements obtained during the placebo Run-in period.

3.Primary Outcome
Title Suvorexant HD Versus Placebo: Change From Baseline in Wakefulness After Persistent Sleep Onset (WASO) at Month 1
Hide Description WASO is measured during overnight sleep laboratory (PSG) assessments at baseline, Night 1, Month 1 and Month 3, and is defined as the duration of wakefulness from the onset of persistent sleep (i.e., 10 consecutive minutes of sleep) to the end of PSG assessment the following morning. Beginning of PSG assessment ("Lights-Off") is at approximately the participant's habitual bedtime. The participant is awakened, or allowed to get out of bed if already awake, after 8 hours of PSG recording ("Lights-On"). PSG assessments consist of electronic measurement of brain activity and eye and muscle movements. PSG data was scored by a Centralized PSG reading center.

Title Suvorexant HD Versus Placebo: Change From Baseline in Latency to Onset of Persistent Sleep (LPS) at Month 1
Hide Description LPS is measured during overnight sleep laboratory (PSG) assessments at baseline, Night 1, Month 1 and Month 3, and is defined as the duration of time from the beginning of PSG assessment ("Lights-Off") to the first interval of 10 consecutive minutes of sleep. Beginning of PSG assessment ("Lights-Off") is at approximately the participant's habitual bedtime. The participant is awakened, or allowed to get out of bed if already awake, after 8 hours of PSG recording ("Lights-On"). PSG assessments consist of electronic measurement of brain activity and eye and muscle movements. PSG data was scored by a Centralized PSG reading center.

Comments The null hypothesis, that suvorexant HD did not differ from placebo for Week 1 sTSOm, had planned marginal power of 99.6%. Sleep maintenance (sTSTm, WASO) and sleep onset (sTSOm, LPS) endpoints were tested at two-sided 2.5% significance level. Both Month 1 endpoints for sleep maintenance must be significant to test Month 3 endpoints and either subjective or objective Month 3 endpoint must be significant to test Week 1/Night 1 endpoints. The same approach was used for sleep onset endpoints.

Title Suvorexant LD Versus Placebo: Change From Baseline in sTSOm at Month 1
Hide Description sTSOm is the average over a defined day range of the participant's report of the duration of time that it took to fall asleep, as recorded in a daily e-diary. Averages were derived by taking the mean of all available daily measurements (excluding the mornings following any PSG nights) falling within the day range; Month 1 range is Days 23-30 (Day 1 is day of first double-blind dose). A participant must have at least 3 days of data during the defined day range to calculate an average for the day range; otherwise, the mean value was considered missing for that day range. The baseline value is the mean of the last 7 daily measurements obtained during the placebo Run-in period.

Title Suvorexant LD/HD Versus Placebo: Change From Baseline in LPS at Night 1
Hide Description LPS is measured during overnight sleep laboratory (PSG) assessments at baseline, Night 1, Month 1 and Month 3, and is defined as the duration of time from the beginning of PSG assessment ("Lights-Off") to the first interval of 10 consecutive minutes of sleep. Beginning of PSG assessment ("Lights-Off") is at approximately the participant's habitual bedtime. The participant is awakened, or allowed to get out of bed if already awake, after 8 hours of PSG recording ("Lights-On").
