A clinical study to investigate the safe and effective dose of Daridorexant for the treatment of sleep disorders in children and adolescents aged 10 to < 18 years
Résumé de l'étude
In this study, we investigate how a new medication called Daridorexant works in children and adolescents with insomnia. The aim of the study is to determine which dose of Daridorexant has the best effect while also being safe for children and adolescents with insomnia. Participation in this study is open to individuals suffering from sleep problems that occur frequently, last a long time, cause stress, or seriously impair daily life or school functioning. Participation in this study lasts approximately 2 months for the child and includes a screening phase, a 2-week treatment phase, and a follow-up phase. Six study visits are planned. During the study, the child sleeps with a caregiver at the study center. The first dose of the study medication is taken there. Study participants receive either Daridorexant or placebo tablets. The decision about this is made randomly, like flipping a coin, using a computer. The chance that the child receives Daridorexant is 3 out of 4, while for placebo it is 1 out of 4. A placebo looks like the real study medication but contains no active ingredient. It is important to compare Daridorexant with a placebo to find out if Daridorexant really works. The study medication Daridorexant is approved in Switzerland under the trade name QUVI-VIQ® for the treatment of adults with insomnia. This is the first time that Daridorexant is being tested in children with insomnia. Side effects may occur when the participating child takes Daridorexant. The following side effects have been observed for Daridorexant in adults: headache (6%), dizziness (2%), drowsiness (2%), fatigue (2%), nausea (2%).

Intervention étudiée
In this study, there are 4 groups:
• Group 1 (experimental group) receives the study medication at a dose of 10 mg
• Group 2 (experimental group) receives the study medication at a dose of 25 mg
• Group 3 (experimental group) receives the study medication at a dose of 50 mg
• Group 4 (control group) receives a placebo, which is a tablet without an active ingredient
The study is a so-called double-blind study. "Double-blind" means that no one involved in conducting the study knows which group the participants have been assigned to: the participants themselves do not know which group they are in. The investigating physicians also do not know which group the individual participants belong to. In this sense, all participants are "blind." The idea is to take as little influence as possible on the results. Randomization and double blinding allow us to objectively assess how well the study medication Daridorexant really works and whether it is safe in treating insomnia in children and adolescents.
One hundred thirteen children/adolescents will receive Daridorexant (either 10, 25, or 50 mg), while 37 children/adolescents will receive a placebo. The child will receive either Daridorexant or placebo tablets. The selection is made randomly, like flipping a coin, using a computer. The chance that the child receives Daridorexant is 75%, while for placebo it is 25%.
