Do You Qualify?

You may qualify to participate in any of our clinical research studies if you meet the study criteria.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea with CPAP Intolerance or Refusal

Narcolepsy with or without Cataplexy

Obstructive Sleep Apnea with CPAP Intolerance or Refusal

SynAIRgy Study-Comparing a Fixed Dose Combination of Aroxybutynin/Atomoxetine (AD109) to Placebo in Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

 

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common and serious sleep disorder in which breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep. OSA occurs when the airway collapses as you breathe in. This can cause breathing to be paused from several seconds to over a minute. While many people use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines to manage their OSA, these systems can be cumbersome and awkward for some. Right now, doctors at select centers throughout the US and Canada are conducting a new research study that may be able to help. The study is for an investigational oral medication for OSA taken nightly at bedtime.

 

Why Participate?

 

If you’re living with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and have not had lasting success with CPAP machines or other treatments, you may qualify for a new clinical study. If you qualify and choose to join the study, you will receive:

  • Evaluations of your OSA condition from a local physician specialist
  • Study-related care and study medication at no cost (health insurance is not required)
  • Compensation for your time and travel to attend study visits
  • The opportunity to help advance OSA research and treatment options to potentially benefit others living with OSA
