About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Single Dose Study to Evaluate Lemborexant in Milk of Healthy Lactating Women

The primary purpose of the study is to estimate the cumulative amount of lemborexant excreted in breast milk following a single dose administration of lemborexant 10 milligram (mg) to healthy lactating women and to estimate the relative infant dose (RID) expressed as a percent of the daily maternal dose.

Being tested
Lemborexant

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LemborexantDrug

    Also called E2006, Dayvigo

    Lemborexant oral tablets.

Study groups in NCT04890561
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Lemborexant 10 mgExperimentalParticipants will receive a single dose of lemborexant 10 mg tablet, orally on Day 1.
Receives: Drug: Lemborexant

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Ae: Cumulative Total (Unchanged) Amount of Lemborexant Excreted in Breast Milk Over the Entire Collection

    Measured: 0-240 hours post-dose

  2. Fraction (Percentage) of Dose Excreted in Breast Milk

    Fraction of dose excreted will be calculated as: Ae/Administered dose.

    Measured: 0-240 hours post-dose

  3. RID: Relative Infant Dose

    Relative infant dose is defined as the infant drug exposure via breast milk which is the body weight-adjusted percentage of maternal dose. Relative infant dose will be calculated by the formula: Daily infant dose milligram per kilogram (mg/kg)/maternal dose (mg/kg)*100, where estimated daily infant dose is as per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance (2019). Daily infant dose (mg/kg) = Ae/weight of infant.

    Measured: 0-240 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants Reporting one or More Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Measured: Up to 215 days

  2. Number of Participants Reporting one or More TEAEs Based on Severity

    All TEAEs will be graded on a 3-point scale (mild, moderate, and severe). The definitions are as follows: Mild (Discomfort noticed, but no disruption of normal daily activity); Moderate (Discomfort sufficient to reduce or affect normal daily activity); Severe (Incapacitating, with inability to work or to perform normal daily activity).

    Measured: Up to 215 days

  3. Number of Participants Reporting one or More TEAEs Based on Dose-relationship of Adverse Events (AEs)

    Measured: Up to 215 days

  4. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change in 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings

    Measured: Up to 215 days

  5. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in Vital Sign Values

    Measured: Baseline up to 215 days

  6. Number of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Change From Baseline in Laboratory Parameters

    Measured: Baseline up to 215 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lemborexant in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Eisai Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ae: Cumulative Total (Unchanged) Amount of Lemborexant Excreted in Breast Milk Over the Entire Collection (time frame: 0-240 hours post-dose). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04890561, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Sep 2021.
