Comparison of Product Features and Clinical Trial Designs for the DTx Products with the Indication of Insomnia Authorized by Regulatory Authorities

Comparison of Product Features and Clinical Trial Designs for the DTx Products with the Indication of Insomnia Authorized by Regulatory Authorities

Abstract

The version of record of this article, first published in Therapeutic Innovation and Regulatory Science, is available online at Publisher’s website: https://doi.org/10.1007/s43441-024-00684-9. Background: Digital therapeutics (DTx) have attracted attention as the substitutes or add-ons to conventional pharmacotherapy and the number of DTx products authorized with the regulatory reviews of the clinical evidence is increasing. Insomnia is one of the major targets of the DTx due to the benefit from cognitive behavioral interventions and several products have been launched in the market with regulatory reviews. However, common features of the products and the clinical evidence required by each regulatory agency have not been investigated. Methods: In this study, we identified the DTx products with the primary indication of insomnia authorized with regulatory reviews of clinical evidence by literature and website searches, and investigated the common features of the products and of the study designs for the pivotal clinical trials. Results: The total of 6 DTx products were identified. The components of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) were identified as common features of the products. All the pivotal clinical trials were randomized, parallel-group, blind studies against insomnia patients. No products have been authorized in multiple countries regardless of the similarity of the features of the products and of the study designs for the pivotal clinical trials. Conclusions: Our study revealed that the components of CBT-I and gold standard design in pivotal clinical trials were adopted in all the DTx products for insomnia authorized with reviews of clinical evidence. At the same time, our findings suggest the needs of internationally harmonized regulatory review and authorization system to facilitate the early patient access to the promising DTx products.
