AEs are defined as any unfavorable and unintended signs, symptoms or diseases temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product reported from the first dose of study drug to the last dose of study drug.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sleep Status: Number of AwakeningsBaseline, Week 4 and Month 12

Sleep status of participants was assessed and summarized by calculating the number of times participants had awaken from the time of start of the investigation. The data was assessed at baseline, Week 4 and final visit (last visit for a participant in the study, up to Month 12).

Percentage of Participants Reported With Improvement on the Patient Global Impression (PGI) Scale for Sleep OnsetAt Week 4, 52, and final assessment (up to 12 months)

Sleep onset was defined as the transition from wakefulness into sleep. PGI is a participant rated instrument to measure participant's change in overall status on a 7-point scale. Participants provide their response on a PGI questionnaire. Total score range from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Percentage of participants with improvement rated as "much better" or "a little better" were reported. The data was assessed at Week 4, Week 52 and final visit (follow up visit up to Month 12).

Percentage of Participants Reported With Improvement on the PGI Scale for Sleep DurationAt Week 4, 52, and final assessment (up to 12 months)

Sleep duration was defined as the total amount of sleep obtained. PGI is a participant rated instrument to measure participant's change in overall status on a 7-point scale. Participants provide their response on a PGI questionnaire. Total score range from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Percentage of participants with improvement rated as "much better" or "a little better" were reported. The data was assessed at Week 4, Week 52 and final visit (follow up visit up to Month 12).

Percentage of Participants Reported With Improvement on the PGI Scale for Daytime SomnolenceAt Week 4, 52, and final assessment (up to 12 months)

Daytime somnolence was defined as excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), characterized by general lack of energy, even after adequate or prolonged night time sleep. PGI is a participant rated instrument to measure participant's change in overall status on a 7-point scale. Participants provide their response on a PGI questionnaire. Total score range from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Percentage of participants with improvement rated as "much better" or "a little better" were reported. The data was assessed at Week 4, Week 52 and final visit (follow up visit up to Month 12).

Percentage of Participants Reported With Improvement on the PGI Scale for Remaining Tiredness in the MorningAt Week 4, 52, and final assessment (up to 12 months)

Remaining tiredness in the morning was defined as an experience of fatigue after complete or adequate sleep duration. PGI is a participant rated instrument to measure participant's change in overall status on a 7-point scale. Participants provide their response on a PGI questionnaire. Total score range from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Percentage of participants with improvement rated as "much better" or "a little better" were reported. The data was assessed at Week 4, Week 52 and final visit (follow up visit up to Month 12).

Percentage of Participants Reported With Improvement on the PGI Scale for Sleep QualityAt Week 4, 52, and final assessment (up to 12 months)

Sleep quality was defined as participants satisfaction of the sleep experience, integrating aspects of sleep initiation, sleep maintenance, sleep quantity, and refreshment upon awakening.

PGI is a participant rated instrument to measure participant's change in overall status on a 7-point scale. Participants provide their response on a PGI questionnaire.
