Inclusion Criteria
  • Signed informed consent in a language understandable to the subject prior to any study-mandated procedure.
  • Male and female subjects aged ≥ 18 years at Screening.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at Screening Visit 2 and on Day 1 pre-dose of the first period. They must agree to consistently and correctly use a highly effective method of contraception with a failure rate of < 1% per year.
  • Women of non-childbearing potential, i.e., postmenopausal, with previous bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or hysterectomy, or with premature ovarian failure, XY genotype, Turner syndrome, and/or uterine agenesis.
  • Diagnosis of OSA according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders documented by medical history and confirmed in a sleep laboratory in the context of diagnosing OSA within the last 3 years.
  • Patient with mild to moderate intensity of OSA determined during OSA diagnosis and confirmed on the screening night PSG and defined as apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) ranging from 5 to < 30.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Any circumstances or conditions, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may affect full participation in the study or compliance with the protocol.
  • Pregnant or lactating women.
  • Modified Swiss Narcolepsy Scale total score < 0 at Screening, or history of narcolepsy or cataplexy.
  • Subjects with clinically significant abnormality on the screening night PSG as per investigator judgment, including evidence of severe insomnia (i.e., sleep time < 5 h) periodic limb movement disorder with arousal index ≥ 10/h, restless legs syndrome, circadian rhythm disorder, REM behavior disorder, parasomnia including nightmare disorder, sleep terror disorder, and/or sleepwalking disorder.
  • Need for continuous positive airway pressure device or a dental appliance device within the preceding 7 days prior to Screening Visit 2 and during the course of the study, i.e., from Screening Visit 2 to EOS.
  • Evidence of any other clinically significant active pulmonary disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (as per Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease), based on investigator's judgment.
  • History of surgical intervention for obstructive sleep apnea, except nose surgery.
  • SaO2 < 90% during wakefulness or mean non-apneic SaO2 (i.e., outside events of apnea/hypopnea) < 85% for > 5 consecutive min during the screening night PSG.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) after multiple-dose administration of ACT-541468 as measured by polysomnography (PSG)After multiple-dose administration (i.e., at Night 5) (duration: 8 hours PSG recording)

AHI is defined by total number of apnea (pause in respiration ≥ 10 s) plus hypopnea (reduction in airflow or tidal volume from pre-event baseline by 30% for at least 10 s accompanied by a decrease of SaO2 ≥ 4%) events, divided by total sleep time (TST, in min), then multiplied by 60, during TST
