People with obstructive sleep apnea, or O-S-A, have pauses in their breathing during sleep, which occur when muscles in their throat relax and block normal breathing. A common treatment for OSA is CPAP.
However, some people who have OSA are unwilling or unable to use CPAP treatment for their condition.
If this describes you, you may be eligible to participate in a clinical research study of an oral investigational drug designed for people with OSA who cannot or do not use CPAP.
Previous research has shown that this investigational drug may prevent the throat from relaxing, which could help improve breathing during sleep.
The goal of this research study is to determine if the investigational drug could treat O-S-A when it is taken each night before bedtime.
Who Can Participate in This Study?
- 18 years of age or older
- Has been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Has been prescribed or given CPAP but, Not currently using CPAP treatment
What Will Happen in This Study?
Prior to joining the study, you will review the Informed Consent document with the study doctor. This document will outline and explain everything that will occur during the study, as well as any potential side effects.
During this review, the study doctor will also answer any questions you may have.
After your questions have been answered and you agree to participate in the study, you will have a physical exam and medical tests, including an overnight sleep evaluation.
The tests and sleep evaluation will help to determine whether you can continue to participate in this study.
If you are eligible to continue in the study, you will be assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive the investigational drug, and the other group will receive placebo. Placebo looks like the investigational drug but contains no active medication.
Neither you nor the study team will know which study drug you are taking. This allows study doctors to compare both groups and learn whether the investigational drug may be able to treat sleep apnea.
You will take your study drug every night within 30 minutes of bedtime.
You will work with the study team to schedule your appointments. Most of these appointments will be office visits. You will also have a few overnight sleep evaluations that the study doctor will discuss with you in more detail.
Please know that you will not be charged to participate in this study, and you do not need health insurance. You will also be compensated for your time and travel.
Even if you join this study, you can stop participating at any time and for any reason.
