The effects of AD098, AD153 and AD639 on obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
Respiratory - Sleep apnoea
Registration Number
ACTRN12618001499279
Lead Sponsor
Apnimed
Brief Summary

There was no significant effect of either drug combinations on reducing OSA severity or improving any of the key physiological causes of OSA. However, duloxetine+oxybutynin did significantly increase the fraction of hypopnoeas to apnoeas compared to placebo (p = 0.02; d = 0.54). In addition, duloxetine+oxybutynin reduced time in REM sleep (p = 0.009; d = 1.03) which was positively associated with a reduction in OSA severity (R2 = 0.62; p = 0.02). In summary - neither drug combination significantly improved OSA severity or modified the key OSA physiological causes of OSA when administered as a single dose to unselected OSA. patients.
