Embodiment Construction

[0021] In a study of genetic variants associated with sleep-wake patterns, Applicants found a significant association between the rs184039278 CRY1 allele and the therapeutic efficacy of tasimelteon. Specifically, individuals with at least one copy of the rs184039278 CRY1 allele exhibit an improvement in one or more sleep parameters selected from the group consisting of: Persistent sleep latency (LPS ); sleep efficiency (%) during the first, second and / or last third of the night; rapid eye movement (REM) sleep duration; total sleep time (TST), including the first third During the night of II; and awakening after continuous sleep (WASO).

[0022] Table 1 below shows TST and sleep efficiency data for two individuals diagnosed with DSWPD and having at least one copy of the rs184039278 CRY1 allele who were administered 20 mg tasimelteon before bedtime. It can be seen that these individuals exhibit higher TST and sleep efficiency.

Abstract

The invention provides methods of improving sleep in a patient having a variant of the cryptochrome circadian clock 1 (CRY 1) genotype associated with a circadian rhythm sleep disorder (CRSD) Delayed Sleep Wake Phase Disorder (DSWPD).

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 805,057, filed February 13, 2019, which is hereby incorporated herein as if fully set forth. Background technique [0003] Circadian Rhythm and Sleep [0004] The timing of sleep in humans is controlled by two regulatory processes. The first - sleep homeostasis, which maintains a balance between awake time (during which fatigue accumulates) and sleep time (which is restorative and prepares the individual for the next awakening). The second - an endogenous rhythm regulated by a circadian pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which counteracts the effects of fatigue with signals from the circadian pacemaker. At night, when the homeostatic drive to sleep is high, the signals that promote wakefulness are at their peak. Then, as the individual approaches bedtime, the output of the SCN weakens and sleep ensues. [...
