Pharmacological Activation of HMN for OSA Aim 2

September 19, 2022 updated by: Scott Aaron Sands, Brigham and Women's Hospital

Pharmacological Activation of Hypoglossal Motor Nucleus for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Aim 2

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and has major health implications but treatment options are limited. OSA patients show a marked reduction in upper airway (UA) dilator muscle activity at sleep onset and this phenomenon leads to increased collapsibility of UA compared to normal subjects. In this protocol the investigators will test the effect of LTM1201AZ, LTM1201AT, LTM1201AD, LTM1201AG administered before sleep on OSA phenotype traits and OSA severity during sleep.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Apnea hypopnea Index (AHI, average number of events for every hour of sleep)
Time Frame: 3 nights (treatment duration)
Based on previous studies the investigators anticipate that active comparators will reduce AHI more effectively in subjects with moderate sleep apnea and low-to-moderate collapsibility (Vpassive >50% of eupneic values). Higher AHI indicates more severe OSA, usually ranging between 10 to 110 events/hour.
3 nights (treatment duration)
