Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
Insomnia (sleeplessness) disorder is characterised by difficulties in initiating or maintaining sleep and can cause impairment in daytime functioning. It is a common condition, with an approximate general population prevalence of 10%. Cognitive behavioural therapy is currently recommended for insomnia as a first-line treatment, but not all insomnia patients benefit from it, and it might not be available for all. The available sleep medications can be modest in efficacy, can have abuse potential and have a risk of tolerance. Based on the mode of action, tasipimidine is expected to decrease arousal and cause sedation. The purpose of this study is to see if tasipimidine will help in the treatment of insomnia and how safe it is to use in people.

Who can participate?
Adult patients with insomnia aged between 18 and 65 years old

What does the study involve?
The trial consists of 2 consecutive parts and participants will be included either in Part 1 or Part 2. Part 2 will start only after Part 1 completion. Both parts include a screening period (up to 6 weeks), a treatment period (3 consecutive days and nights) and a post-treatment period (up to 10 days). Part 2 includes an additional 4-week extension part, where the participants take tasipimidine or placebo every evening at home and return to the sleep clinic for 2 last treatment nights. The study visits will take place in sleep centres where a sleep polysomnography (PSG) recording is done. The PSG will be done using equipment that records brain waves and other sleep parameters. Participants will use equipment to record sleep parameters also at home (Part 2) and a sleep diary is used.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Tasipimidine may favour sleep but in this study, the study drug will be administered for 3 nights only in Part 1 and 4 weeks in Part 2. Patients may also experience benefits due to getting information on their health. Participation may help other insomnia people in the future. There are no costs to participants to be in the trial.
Tasipimidine has been well tolerated in a trial with healthy volunteers. Based on that trial and the mode of action, tasipimidine may cause dizziness when standing up. To minimise the risk associated with taking part in the trial, patients are frequently monitored and evaluated for any side effects.

Where is the study run from?
Sleep centres in Finland, Poland, Germany and United States of America

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
October 2022 to December 2025

ConditionInsomnia
InterventionCurrent interventions as of 13/05/2025:

The study drug, tasipimidine, is a highly specific α2 adrenoceptor agonist, selective for α2A receptor subtype. In experimental animals, it induces typical α2-adrenoceptor agonist effects like sedation, analgesia, and relief of anxiety. In humans, it is expected to decrease arousal and cause sedation.
The trial consists of 2 consecutive parts and participants will be included either in Part 1 or Part 2. In Part 1 of the trial, escalating dose levels of tasipimidine will be administered to sequential cohorts of subjects. Subjects will be allocated at random to tasipimidine and placebo groups by the IVRS system. The study drug is given by the study site personnel as an oral liquid on 3 consecutive nights. Study subjects will stay at the study site for 3 consecutive nights and days from the evening of Day 1 until the afternoon of Day 4. Part 2 includes an additional 4-week extension part, where the participants take tasipimidine or placebo every evening at home and return to the sleep clinic for 2 last treatment nights.

Previous interventions:

The study drug, tasipimidine, is a highly specific α2 adrenoceptor agonist, selective for α2A receptor subtype. In experimental animals, it induces typical α2-adrenoceptor agonist effects like sedation, analgesia, and relief of anxiety. In humans, it is expected to decrease arousal and cause sedation. In this study, the effect of tasipimidine on sleep is investigated in a sleep laboratory setting.

Three escalating adaptive dose levels of tasipimidine are planned to be administered to 3 sequential cohorts of subjects and the placebo will be randomised into each dose level in a 1:3 ratio. Subjects will be allocated at random to tasipimidine and placebo groups by the IVRS system. After each cohort, the Data and Safety Monitoring Board will evaluate the data and agree on the dose level for the next cohort. The study drug is given by the study site personnel as an oral liquid on 3 consecutive nights. Study subjects will stay at the study site for 3 consecutive nights and days from the evening of Day 1 until the afternoon of Day 4.
