Study Summary

This study will be conducted to determine whether lemborexant as compared to placebo decreases the peripheral oxygen saturation during total sleep time in healthy adult and elderly participants after a single dose of treatment and to determine whether it increases the apnea-hypopnea index after single and multiple doses of treatment in adult and elderly participants with mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Primary Outcome

SpO2 is an estimate of the amount of oxygen in the blood. It is the percentage of hemoglobin containing oxygen compared to the total amount of hemoglobin in the blood (that is, oxygenated hemoglobin versus oxygenated and non-oxygenated hemoglobin). SpO2 was monitored by noninvasive method known as transmissive pulse oximetry. TST was defined as the total time asleep in minutes using polysomnography (PSG).
