A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, 3-Way Crossover Study to Evaluate the Effect of 2 Dosage Strengths of E2006 on a Multiple Sleep Latency Test in Subjects With Insomnia Disorder

This is a single-dose, randomized, placebo-controlled, 3-way crossover study of 2 dosage
strengths of E2006 (5 mg and 10 mg) in subjects with insomnia disorder.

The study will have 2 phases: Prerandomization and Randomization. The Prerandomization Phase
will consist of 2 periods that taken together, will last up to a maximum of 21 days: a
Screening Period and a Baseline Period. The Randomization Phase will comprise 4 treatment
periods (Treatment 1, Treatment 2, Treatment 3, Treatment 4) with intervening washout
periods between treatment periods (Washout 1, Washout 2, Washout 3). A single dose of study
drug will be administered in a randomized, 3-way double-blind crossover manner at Treatment
Periods 1-3; flurazepam 30 mg will be administered in an open-label manner at Treatment
Period 4.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female, age 18 or older, at the time of informed consent.

2. Meets the 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) criteria for Insomnia Disorder, as follows:

1. Complains of dissatisfaction with nighttime sleep despite adequate opportunity
for sleep, with complaint being one or more of the following: difficulty getting
to sleep, difficulty staying asleep, or awakening earlier in the morning than
desired.

2. Frequency of complaint greater than or equal to 3 times per week.

3. Duration of complaint greater than or equal to 3 months.

4. Associated with complaint of daytime impairment.

3. Insomnia Severity Index score greater than or equal to 15 at Screening.

4. Regular time in bed between 7 and 9 hours as reported at Screening.

5. Regular bedtime, defined as the time the subject attempts to fall asleep, between
21:00 and 24:00 and regular wake time between 05:00 and 09:00 as reported at
Screening.

6. Confirmation of current insomnia symptoms as determined from responses on the Sleep
Diary completed for 7 nights during Screening, such that subject Sleep Onset Latency
(sSOL) greater than or equal to 30 minutes on at least 3 nights and subjective Wake
After Sleep Onset (sWASO) greater than or equal to 60 minutes on at least 3 nights.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Excessive morning sleepiness at Baseline as determined by average SOL at Baseline
less than 10 minutes.

2. Females must not be lactating or pregnant at Screening or Baseline (documented by a
negative beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [beta-hCG] or human chorionic gonadotropin
[hCG] test with a minimum sensitivity of 25 IU/L or equivalent units of beta-hCG or
hCG). (Note: A negative urine pregnancy test is required at check-in before each dose
of study drug and flurazepam).

3. If females of childbearing potential:

1. Had unprotected sexual intercourse within 30 days before study entry and do not
agree to use a highly effective method of contraception (eg, total abstinence,
an intrauterine device, a double-barrier method [such as condom plus diaphragm
with spermicide], a contraceptive implant, an oral contraceptive, or have a
vasectomized partner with confirmed azoospermia) throughout the entire study
period or for 28 days after study drug discontinuation.

2. Are currently abstinent, and do not agree to use a double barrier method (as
described above) or refrain from sexual activity during the study period or for
28 days after study drug discontinuation.

3. Are using hormonal contraceptives but are not on a stable dose of the same
hormonal contraceptive product for at least 4 weeks before dosing and do not
agree to use the same contraceptive during the study or for 28 days after study
drug discontinuation.

NOTE: All females will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless they are
postmenopausal (amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months, in the appropriate
age group, and without other known or suspected cause) or have been sterilized
surgically (ie, bilateral tubal ligation, total hysterectomy, or bilateral
oophorectomy, all with surgery at least 1 month before dosing).

4. A current diagnosis of sleep-related breathing disorder, periodic limb movement
disorder, restless legs syndrome, circadian rhythm sleep disorder, or narcolepsy, or
an exclusionary score on screening instruments to rule out individuals with symptoms
of certain sleep disorders other than insomnia.

5. Reports experiencing within the past year confusional arousals, symptoms of REM
Behavior Disorder, or sleep-related violent behavior on Munich Parasomnia Scale
(MUPS), or a history of aberrant nocturnal behaviors including sleep-driving or
sleep-eating.

6. Habitually naps more than 3 times per week.

7. History of drug or alcohol dependency or abuse within approximately the last 2 years.

8. Has a positive drug screen at Screening.

9. A prolonged QT/QTc interval (QTc greater than 450 ms) as demonstrated by a repeated
ECG at Screening (repeated only if initial ECG indicates a QTc interval greater than
450 ms).

10. Any suicidal ideation with intent with or without a plan at Screening or within 6
months of Screening or any lifetime suicidal behavior.

11. Evidence of clinically significant disease (eg, cardiac, respiratory,
gastrointestinal, renal, psychiatric or neurological disease, or chronic pain) that
in the opinion of the investigator(s) could affect the subject's safety or interfere
with the study assessments.

12. Used any prohibited prescription or over-the-counter concomitant medications within 2
weeks prior to Screening, or between Screening and Randomization.

13. Used any modality of treatment for insomnia, including cognitive behavioral therapy
or marijuana within 2 weeks prior to Screening, or between Screening and
Randomization.

14. Scheduled for surgery during the study.

15. Transmeridian travel across more than 3 time zones in the 2 weeks before Screening,
or between Screening and Baseline, or plans to travel more than 3 times zones during
the study.

16. Hypersensitivity to flurazepam, the study drug, or any of the excipients.

17. Currently enrolled in another clinical trial or used any investigational drug or
device within 28 days or 5 x the half-life, whichever is longer preceding informed
consent.
