Official title
A Pilot Randomized, Open Label Trial of Orexin Receptor Antagonist for Insomnia in Hospitalized Patients With Cancer to Prevent Delirium
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This phase IV trial compares suvorexant with standard of care to standard of care alone for improving difficulty sleeping (insomnia) and reducing confusion (delirium) in hospitalized cancer patients. Delirium can lengthen hospitalization, increase the delay of cancer treatment and can even increase the risk of premature death. Suvorexant is in a class of medications called orexin receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of a certain natural substance in the brain that causes wakefulness. Giving suvorexant with standard of care to treat insomnia may be more effective compared to standard of care alone in reducing the development of delirium in hospitalized cancer patients.
