Sleep Medicine and Research Center: Current Studies

Research Study of an Investigational Drug for the Treatment of Sleep Apnea

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY?
The purpose of the study is to examine the efficacy and safety of the investigational medication AD109 (a combination of Atomoxetine and Aroxybutynin) compared to placebo (an inactive substance) over a 1-year period in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Individuals may be eligible to participate if they:
  • Are age 18 or older
  • Have been diagnosed with OSA
  • Are unable or refuse to use available treatments for OSA
  • Have a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 40 kg/m2 (men) or 42 kg/m2 (women)
  • Are willing to limit alcohol, THC/marijuana, caffeine, and tobacco use
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE STUDY?
The Screening Period includes 2 office visits and 1 overnight sleep visit conducted over 2-4 weeks to determine eligibility. Eligible participants will take the study drug for 51 weeks. During this period, there will be 2 office visits, 3 overnight visits and 10 phone calls. Participants will have a 50% chance of taking AD109, and a 50% chance of taking placebo. An end of study office visit is conducted 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug. Participation lasts about 13 months.

Some of the study procedures conducted during visits include the following:
  • Review of medical history, current health, and prior and current medications
  • Brief physical examination
  • Blood and urine tests
  • Vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, and respiratory rate)
  • Height and weight
  • ECG (electrocardiogram)
  • Questionnaires about sleep apnea, sleepiness and how you are feeling
  • Tests of attention, reaction time and memory
  • Overnight sleep testing (to monitor sleep and breathing patterns)
