ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryAdjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Wake Time During Sleep (WTDS) at Week 4/10 Measured by Polysomnography (PSG) (Sleep Study) Using Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)Baseline, Week 4/10 (representing the last week of each intervention period, i.e. Weeks 4 and 10)
PSG is a comprehensive recording of the bio-physiological changes that occur during sleep. It is also known as a "sleep study" that monitors participants as they sleep or try to sleep. WTDS, defined as the total amount of time spent awake after falling asleep until the last awakening, was measured by PSG. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.
SecondaryAdjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Periodic Limb Movements Associated With Arousal (PLMAI) at Week 4/10 as Measured by Polysomnography Using LOCFBaseline, Week 4/10 (representing the last week of each intervention period, i.e. Weeks 4 and 10)
PLMAI is defined as the number of Periodic Limb Movements (PLMs or involuntary jerks of the legs that cause a participant to arouse from sleep per hour of sleep). Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.
SecondaryAdjusted Mean Change From Baseline in the International Restless Legs Rating Scale (IRLS) Total Score at Week 4/10 Using LOCFBaseline, Week 4/10 (representing the last week of each intervention period, i.e. Weeks 4 and 10)
The IRLS is a measure of RLS disease severity. Ten items (individually scored from 0 to 4) are included that assess the impact of symptoms on participants' mood, daily life, and activities. The total scale score is a sum of all of the individual item scores and ranges from 0-40 points, with 40 being the most severe. The scale assesses symptoms over the week prior to measurement. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.
SecondaryAdjusted Mean Change From Baseline in the Item 4 (Sleep Disturbance) Scores of the IRLS Rating Scale at Week 4/10 Using LOCFBaseline, Week 4/10 (representing the last week of each intervention period, i.e. Weeks 4 and 10)
The IRLS is a measure of RLS disease severity. Item 4 of the IRLS evaluates RLS-related sleep impairment. It asks: "In the past week, how severe was your sleep disturbance due to your RLS symptoms?". The item is participant rated using a 5-point scale, where 0 is the absence of any sleep disturbance and 4 is very severe disturbance. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.
SecondaryAdjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Time Spent in N1 Sleep as Measured by Polysomnography at Week 4/10 Using LOCFBaseline, Week 4/10 (representing the last week of each intervention period, i.e. Weeks 4 and 10)
Stage N1 is considered "light sleep," during which participants drift in and out of sleep and can be awakened easily. In this stage, the eyes move slowly and muscle activity slows. This stage is sometimes referred to as "somnolence" or "drowsy sleep." Sudden twitches and hypnic jerks may be associated with the onset of sleep during N1. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.
SecondaryAdjusted Mean Change From Baseline in the Percentage of Total Sleep Time Spent in the N1 Sleep Stage at Week 4/10 Using LOCFBaseline, Week 4/10 (representing the last week of each intervention period, i.e. Weeks 4 and 10)
Percentage of stage N1 sleep time was defined as the time spent in stage N1 sleep divided by total sleep time. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.
SecondaryAdjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Time Spent in the N2 Sleep Stage as Measured by Polysomnography at Week 4/10 Using LOCFBaseline, Week 4/10 (representing the last week of each intervention period, i.e. Weeks 4 and 10)
In stage N2 of sleep, eye movement stops and brain waves become slower, with only an occasional burst of rapid brain waves. Participants may also experience spontaneous periods of muscle tone mixed with periods of muscle relaxation. During this stage, muscular activity, and conscious awareness of the external environment disappears. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.
SecondaryAdjusted Mean Change From Baseline in the Percentage of Total Sleep Time Spent in the N2 Sleep Stage at Week 4/10Baseline, Week 4/10 (representing the last week of each intervention period, i.e. Weeks 4 and 10)
Percentage of stage N2 sleep time was defined as the time spent in stage N2 sleep divided by total sleep time. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in the Total Time Spent in Stage N3 Sleep Time at Week 4/10 Measured by PSG Using LOCFBaseline, Week 4/10 (representing the last week of each intervention period, i.e. Weeks 4 and 10)
Stage N3 is referred to as deep sleep; it is very difficult to wake a participant in this stage of sleep. In deep sleep, there is no eye movement or muscle activity. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.
SecondaryAdjusted Mean Change From Baseline in the Percentage of Total Sleep Time Spent in the N3 Sleep Stage at Week 4/10Baseline, Week 4/10 (representing the last week of each intervention period, i.e. Weeks 4 and 10)
Percentage of stage N3 sleep time was defined as the time spent in stage N3 sleep divided by total sleep time. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.
