Mean (SD) changes from baseline at Visits 3 and 7, with estimates of short-term treatment effect (linear regression model, adjusted for baseline value and age) and long-term treatment effect (mixed effects regression model, adjusted for baseline value, age and visit; global treatment effect reported)

Mean (standard deviation; SD) changes from baseline at Visits 3 and 7, with estimates of short-term treatment effect (linear regression model, adjusted for baseline value and age) and long-term treatment effect (mixed effects regression model, adjusted for baseline value, age and visit; global treatment effect reported)

*Global treatment effect is estimated using a mixed-effect model for repeated measures and takes into account the treatment effect difference over the 26-weeks (at Visits 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) sleep latency (diary data) are repeated for completeness.
