Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will be enrolled across 4 parallel treatment arms to receive daily oral doses of Satipharm CBD or placebo for a period of 30 days. Treatment Arm 1 : 0 mg (placebo), Treatment Arm 2: 25 mg, treatment arm 3: 50 mg, treatment arm 4:100 mg. A single daily dose of Satipharm CBD capsules or placebo (2 capsules/dose) will be administered from Day 1 to Day 30 (each participant will receive a total of 30 doses) with an evening meal. Study drug will be self-administered on a daily basis from Day 1 through to Day 30. Outpatient
clinic visits are scheduled for Days 31 (the day following the last dose of study drug), and again on Day 37 (± 2 days) which is the end of study (EOS) visit.

Adherence to the intervention will be done via drug accountability and the participants completion of a daily diary.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Participants to be dosed will be assigned a randomisation number in accordance with the randomisation schedule. Each participant will be assigned to receive either Satipharm CBD capsules at one of 3 dose levels or placebo. The randomization schedules will be prepared by unblinded statisticians and will be maintained under controlled access. As the study is double-blinded, sealed participant-specific code break envelopes will also be produced by the unblinded statisticians and will be retained at the clinical facility in a secure, accessible location.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The allocation to Satipharm CBD capsules or placebo will be performed using a block randomisation algorithm.

Statistical methods / analysis
The total sample size for this study is 212 (53/treatment arm) which has been calculated based on 90% power to detect a 2-point change in ISI score or a 3-point change on the PROMIS sleep disturbance score (the primary outcome measures) on Day 15 or Day 31 at a significance level of P lesser than 0.05. The number of subjects includes a buffer of 20% to account for attrition. Recruitment will be stopped when the sample size for all the treatment groups reach 53 subjects. Blinded interim analysis will be conducted to re-evaluate the sample size and possibly increase the sample size.

For the purposes of analysis, the following analysis sets are defined:
- Full analyses set (FAS) - The FAS will include all participants who enrolled into the study and will be analyzed according to the randomized treatment, regardless of which treatment the participants received. This population will be used for all summaries of baseline and demographic data. In addition, all listings will be produced for the FAS.
- Safety Population - The Safety Population will include all randomized participants who are exposed to investigational product. Participants will be analyzed according to the intervention they actually received. The Safety Population will be used for the summaries of all safety data.

Summary
Brief summary
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of CBD capsules in adults with sleep disturbance. Adults will be screened for study eligibility by attending the clinic between Day -28 and Day -4. Study eligibility will be confirmed at the clinic on Day -3 and baseline measures will be conducted at home between Days -3 to Day 1 with Day 1 being the first day of study drug administration. Participants will be required to attend the study clinic at screening, on Day 31, and Day 37 (EOS) or ETV. There will be no clinical confinement period in this study and all clinical assessments will be performed as outpatient visits or telehealth consultations. The study will evaluate 3 dose levels of the investigational product, Satipharm CBD capsules or placebo in 4 parallel treatment arms of 53 participants per arm. Participants will be enrolled across 4 parallel treatment arms to receive daily doses of Satipharm CBD or placebo for a period of 30 days. Treatment Arm 1 : 0mg (placebo), Treatment Arm 2: 25 mg, treatment arm 3: 50 mg, treatment arm 4:100 mg. A single daily dose of Satipharm CBD capsules or placebo (2 capsules/dose) will be administered from Day 1 to Day 30 whereby each participant will receive a total of 30 doses with an evening meal. Study drug will be self-administered on a daily basis from Day 1 through to Day 30. Outpatient clinic visits are scheduled for Days 31 (the day following the last dose of study drug), and again on Day 37 which is the end of study (EOS) visit.
