Lets look again more closely Argument.

The description of the trial in the paper was as a single-center, four-way crossover, open-label, dose-ranging, multiple-treatment study. There were four treatment groups: zolpidem oral tablets (AMBIEN, 5 or 10 mg) and zolpidem LS (5 or 10 mg). The sample was young healthy volunteers (N = 20 males, 23 females).

There is one minor discrepancy – the number of subjects in study 003 is shown as 48. But in the paper it is reported as 43. Five subjects were excluded in the original analysis as reported in the NDA.
