New treatment option for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Official title Atomoxetine and DAW2022 on OSA Severity
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05350215
What this study is testing
What is Atomoxetine Oral Capsule [Strattera]?
Atomoxetine Oral Capsule [Strattera] is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.
Also referred to as DAW2020 Oral Capsule.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and has major health implications but treatment options are limited. In previous research atomoxetine and oxybutynin showed promising effect at reducing OSA severity, however they reduced arousal threshold, one of the key traits responsible for OSA.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
