Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 76 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject is between the ages of 18 and 80.
  2. Diagnosis of OSA, based on ODI 10-60 (as assessed per home screening night).
  3. Subject is fluent in English and understands the Study protocol and is willing and able to comply with Study requirements and sign the informed consent form.
  4. BMI < 40.
  5. Subject has a least one molar in each of the four quadrants of the mouth (right upper, right lower, left upper, and left lower).
  6. Subject has proper mouthpiece fit, as assessed by home screening night (See section 8.3).

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. OSA treatment within two weeks prior to Medical/Dental screening visit.
  2. Poor nasal patency as evidenced by Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF) less than 75 l/min (assessed at baseline medical visit). In addition, any ongoing process or condition that limits nasal breathing or indications thereof, including: obligate mouth-breathing, persistent blockage of one or both nostrils resulting in the inability to sleep with the mouth closed, chronic nasal congestion, chronic allergic rhinitis, and intermittent allergic rhinitis that does not respond to non-sedating/non-stimulating medical therapy.
  3. Oral cavity infection or any other oral or dental condition or problem that would limit subject use of the Attune Sleep Apnea System (e.g. dentures, loose tooth/teeth, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) conditions, or any oral or dental condition that the Investigator believes could be exacerbated by the Attune Sleep Apnea System.
  4. Prior use of the Attune Sleep Apnea System.
  5. History of any OSA surgical treatment including uvulopalatopharyngoplasty surgery (UPPP), maxillomandibular advancement surgery (MMA), radio frequency (RF) ablation treatment, palatal stent devices, etc.

  6. Current use or use within the previous 2 weeks of medications or other agents that may affect sleep or PSG, including:

    1. Hypnotics, anxiolytics, anticonvulsants, sedating antihistamines, stimulants, sedating antidepressants or other medications likely to affect neurocognitive function and/or alertness. Patients on stable selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) therapy for > 3 months and who are expected to remain on therapy for the Study duration, may continue SSRI treatment.
    2. Consumption of > 500mg caffeine per day (e.g. > 8 cola-type beverages, > 5 cups of coffee).
    3. Any known illicit drug use or abuse within the past year, or failure to pass drug urine screen test, or alcohol breathalyzer test with result over 0.05% BAL.
    4. Smokers who smoke during the night (interference with PSG).
  7. Any concomitant diagnosed or suspected sleep or chronic neurological disorders, other than OSA, including insomnia, and central sleep apnea.
  8. Currently working nights, rotating night shifts, planned travel across four or more time zones required during Study period, or within two weeks prior to Study enrollment, or sleep schedule not compatible with sleep lab practices.
  9. Potential sleep apnea complications that, in the opinion of the investigator, may affect the health or safety of the participant, including: low blood oxygen, recent near-miss or prior automobile accident due to sleepiness, reported history of severe cardiovascular disease (including NYHA class III or IV heart failure, CAD with angina or MI/stroke in past 6 months, uncontrolled hypertension or hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias), reported respiratory disorders, or use of medication or other treatment which may pose additional risk to the subject or confound the results of the Study.
  10. Female subjects who are pregnant or intend to become pregnant during the study period.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical Success Defined as Apnea-hypopnea Index (AHI) Reduction of >50% and Treated AHI<20
Time Frame: first treatment night
Comparing first treatment night AHI to control/baseline night. AHI is calculated by dividing the number of apnea/hypopnea events by the number of hours of sleep. AHI values are typically characterized as 5-15/hr = mild OSA, 15-30/hr = moderate OSA, and >30/hr = severe OSA. For each subject, Clinical success was defined as apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) reduction of >50% and treated AHI<20. The number of subjects with clinical success was determined to calculate the primary endpoint as the ratio of the number of subjects with clinical success to the number of subjects.
first treatment night

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adverse Event Rate
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Further categorized as serious and non-serious, device-related and non-device-related, unanticipated and anticipated, and based on level of severity. Adverse events will be evaluated during the trial at the following visits during 28-day take-home period: 7-day, 14-day, 21-day, 28-day follow-up, and any unscheduled visits.
4 weeks
Last Treatment Night Response (AHI Reduction)
Time Frame: At completion of 28 day home use.
Comparing AHI at the last treatment night to the control/baseline night is reported as the percent change in AHI. AHI is calculated by dividing the number of apnea/hypopnea events by the number of hours of sleep. AHI values are typically characterized as 5-15/hr = mild OSA, 15-30/hr = moderate OSA, and >30/hr = severe OSA. Negative numbers represent a decrease/improvement in AHI, whereas positive numbers represent an increase/no improvement in AHI.
At completion of 28 day home use.
Percent Reduction in Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI)
Time Frame: First treatment night
Comparing first treatment night to control/baseline night reported as percent change. Negative numbers represent a reduction/improvement in ODI, whereas positive numbers represent increases/no improvement in ODI.
