Brief Summary

Multi-center, open-label, prospective, randomized clinical trial of the aura6000(R) System for the reduction of apnea and hypopneas in adult patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who have failed or are unwilling to use positive airway pressure treatment.

Detailed Description

All qualifying subjects will be implanted. Subjects will be randomized 2:1 in favor of Stimulation therapy (Active Group). Randomization will occur following implant and prior to the Month 1 visit.

The Active group will start Stimulation therapy at Month 1. The Control group may continue with their current sleep apnea treatment until Month 7, and will receive Stimulation therapy beginning at Month 7 +1Day. (All subjects are excluded from use of PAP or surgical treatments after enrollment through Month 13)

Safety and efficacy will be evaluated at Month 7, and again at Month 13.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of all serious adverse device/procedure related events from time of implant through month 7Month 1 through Month 7

The primary safety endpoint is a descriptive evaluation of all reported serious adverse device/procedure related events (SADEs) through M7 for both groups. Relationship to procedure, device and study will be adjudicated by a Clinical Events Committee (CEC).

Rate of response to therapy when compared to no therapy for 6 monthsMonth 1 through Month 7

The primary efficacy endpoint is to demonstrate that the AHI responder rate of subjects with the device stimulation activated (Active Group) is statistically significantly higher than the AHI responder rate of subjects with the device stimulation not activated (Control Group) at M7.

Secondary Outcome Measures
