About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the 1-month treatment effects of different dose of lemborexant in moderate OSA adult patients (18-65 years of age) with low arousal threshold.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Primary outcome measure: Apnea/hypopnea index (AHI)

Secondary outcome measure:

1. Polysomnography parameters

* Mean and nadir oxygen saturation * Sleep efficiency * Wake after sleep onset (WASO) * Sleep latency * Rapid eye movement (REM) latency * Percentage of time spent in Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) stage 1-3 and REM stage * Arousal index 2. Oxford Sleep Resistance Test (OSLER) test 3. Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) 4. Functional Outcome of Sleep Questionnaire-short version (FOSQ-10T) 5. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) 6. Actigraphy parameters

* Total sleep time * Sleep efficiency * Wake after sleep onset (WASO) * Sleep latency 7. Sleep diary parameters (Appendix 5)

* Total sleep time * Sleep efficiency * Wake after sleep onset (WASO) * Sleep latency * Sleep quality

Researchers will compare placebo to see if there is a difference in AHI.

Participants will

* participate a total of 3 phases of study (3-crossover trial) * each phrase the participants will receive either lemborexant 5 mg, lemborexant 10 mg, or placebo orally per day for 30 days with 2-week washout (depend on intervention arm whether the participants receive which intervention sequence) * complete three overnight in-laboratory polysomnography (2-week washout) at day 30 of each phrase * monitor actigraphy during day 1 to 29 of intervention of all periods * record sleep diary during day 1 to 29 of intervention of all periods * complete the OSLER test in the morning of the three overnight test * complete questionnaires including: Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Functional Outcome of Sleep Questionnaire-short version (FOSQ-10T), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) at baseline (prior to intervention) and the night before overnight in-laboratory polysomnography

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Apnea/hypopnea index (AHI)

Apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) measured by polysomnography (scale: events/hour: minimum 0 event/hour - no maximum scoring; higher scores mean worse outcome)

Time frame
At day 30 during the overnight in-laboratory of each study period

Secondary outcomes

1

Mean and nadir oxygen saturation

Mean and nadir oxygen saturation measured by polysomnography (scale: percent: minimum 0% - maximum 100%; higher scores mean better outcome)

Time frame
At day 30 during the overnight in-laboratory of each study period
2

Sleep efficiency

Sleep efficiency measured by polysomnography (scale: percent: minimum 0% - maximum 100%; higher scores mean better outcome)

Time frame
At day 30 during the overnight in-laboratory of each study period
3

Wake after sleep onset (WASO)

Wake after sleep onset (WASO) measured by polysomnography (scale: minute: minimum 0 minute - no maximum scoring; higher scores mean worse outcome)

Time frame
At day 30 during the overnight in-laboratory of each study period
4

Sleep latency

Sleep latency measured by polysomnography (scale: minute: minimum 0 minute - no maximum scoring; higher scores mean worse outcome)

Time frame
At day 30 during the overnight in-laboratory of each study period
