Comparative efficacy and safety of daridorexant, lemborexant, and suvorexant for insomnia: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Conclusion: Considering that there is no evidence that DORAs are associated with physiological tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, or rebound insomnia when abruptly discontinued, and that sleep architecture is not adversely affected, the DORAs appear to be a favorable choice in managing insomnia disorder in adults.

Lancet · 2022 · Meta-analysis / systematic review
Comparative effects of pharmacological interventions for the acute and long-term management of insomnia disorder in adults: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Conclusion: Overall, eszopiclone and lemborexant had a favorable profile, but eszopiclone might cause substantial adverse events and safety data on lemborexant were inconclusive. Doxepin, seltorexant, and zaleplon were well tolerated, but data on efficacy and other important outcomes were scarce and do not allow firm conclusions. Many licensed drugs (including benzodiazepines, daridorexant, suvorexant, and trazodone) can be effective in the acute treatment of insomnia but are associated with poor tolerability, or information about long-term effects is not available.

Efficacy of Ramelteon, Suvorexant, and Lemborexant for Delirium Prevention in Hospitalized Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Conclusion: Sleep-wake regulating pharmacologic agents were associated with 40%-46% relative risk reductions in delirium prevalence, based on low-certainty evidence. Although these findings are promising, the absence of credible subgroup effects limits conclusions about the comparative efficacy of individual agents. Further, high-quality, prospective trials are needed to confirm these results and to clarify the role of specific pharmacologic strategies in delirium prevention.
