A concentration-enhancing polymer is water soluble or readily disperse in water, so that when the polymer is placed in water or an aqueous environment (e.g. fluids in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or simulated GI fluids), the solubility and/or bioavailability of suvorexant is increased over the solubility or bioavailability in the absence of the polymer.
