In pooled data from the Phase 3 SKYLIGHT 1 and 2 trials, although disturbed sleep was not a prerequisite for study inclusion, a beneficial effect of fezolinetant was observed on four measures of patient-reported sleep disruption: PROMIS SD SF 8b total score, PROMIS SRI SF 8a total score, PGI-C SD, and PGI-S SD
In pooled data from the Phase 3 SKYLIGHT 1 and 2 trials, although disturbed sleep was not a prerequisite for study inclusion, a beneficial effect of fezolinetant was observed on four measures of patient-reported sleep disruption: PROMIS SD SF 8b total score, PROMIS SRI SF 8a total score, PGI-C SD, and PGI-S SD
  • In the Phase 3 SKYLIGHT 1 and 2 trials, patient-reported sleep disturbance and impairment were assessed using one key secondary endpoint (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sleep Disturbance - Short Form 8b [PROMIS SD SF 8b]), and three exploratory endpoints (PROMIS Sleep-Related Impairment - Short Form 8a [PROMIS SRI SF 8a], Patient Global Impression of Change - Sleep Disturbance [PGI-C SD] and Patient Global Impression of Severity - Sleep Disturbance [PGI-S SD]).1–3
  • In SKYLIGHT 1, improvements in patient-reported sleep disturbance in fezolinetant-treated participants were observed but generally did not reach statistical significance.2
  • In SKYLIGHT 2, fezolinetant 45 mg significantly reduced PROMIS SD SF 8b total score from baseline at Weeks 4 and 12 compared with placebo (p ≤ 0.007).1

Detailed results for patient-reported sleep disturbance measures from the SKYLIGHT 1 and 2 12-week placebo-controlled study period
  • PROMIS SD SF 8b assesses sleep disturbance over the previous seven days and includes perceptions of restless sleep, satisfaction with sleep, refreshing sleep, difficulties sleeping, getting to sleep or staying asleep, amount of sleep, and sleep quality.6
  • PROMIS SRI SF 8a assesses the impact of sleep impairments over the previous seven days.4
  • PGIC SD assesses how well participants were sleeping at that time compared with the start of the study and PGI-S SD assesses the severity of any current problems while sleeping at night.1,2
  • The following data are all based on the full analysis set (all randomized participants assessed according to the randomization at first dose).

Please note that these pooled analyses are not adjusted for multiplicity; p values therefore do not confer statistical significance and should be considered indicative, not confirmatory, and are for the purposes of hypothesis generation.
