ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To analyse the effect of fezolinetant on patient-reported sleep disturbance and impairment in individuals with vasomotor symptoms (VMS) using pooled data from the SKYLIGHT 1 and 2 studies. STUDYDESIGN:
The SKYLIGHT studies were phase-3, double-blind investigations. Individuals (≥40-≤65 years) who were assigned female at birth and seeking treatment of/relief from moderate-to-severe VMS were enrolled. Participants were randomised to receive placebo, fezolinetant 30 mg, or fezolinetant 45 mg during a 12-week treatment period. MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
Sleep assessments Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sleep Disturbance - Short Form 8b (PROMIS SD SF 8b), PROMIS Sleep-Related Impairment - Short Form 8a (PROMIS SRI SF 8a), and Patient Global Impression of Change/Severity in SD (PGI-C SD and PGI-S SD). Assessments were completed at baseline (except PGI-C SD), weeks 4 and 12.RESULTS:
Overall, 1022 individuals were randomised and took ≥1 dose of study drug. PROMIS SD SF 8b results showed that improvements in sleep disturbance were observed for fezolinetant 30 and 45 mg versus placebo (week 12, least squares [LS] mean differences -0.6 [95 % confidence interval [CI] -1.7, 0.4] for 30 mg and -1.5 [-2.5, -0.5] for 45 mg). Similar improvements in sleep impairment were reported using the PROMIS SRI SF 8a (week 12, LS mean differences -1.1 [95 % CI -2.1, -0.1] for 30 mg and -1.3 [-2.3, -0.3] for 45 mg). For PGI-C SD at week 12, 33.6 % (98/292 participants) of the placebo group felt much/moderately better versus 40.1 % (110/274) and 51.0 % (154/302) of the fezolinetant 30 mg and 45 mg groups, respectively. For PGI-S SD at week 12, 44.0 % (129/293) of the placebo group had severe/moderate problems versus 41.1 % (113/275) and 36.6 % (111/303) of the fezolinetant 30 mg and 45 mg groups, respectively. The 12-week timeframe for this analysis was limited by the length of the placebo-controlled period.CONCLUSIONS:
Fezolinetant had a beneficial effect on four measures of sleep disturbance and impairment following treatment for VMS.Key words
