Summary

This study tests an injection called GZR18 in 140 obese adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who already use a breathing machine (PAP). The goal is to see if the drug improves breathing during sleep, reduces weight, and boosts quality of life compared to a placebo. It is a Phase 3 trial, meaning it is in the final stages before possible approval.

Active substance

GZR18 injection

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment that reduces sleep apnea severity and helps with weight loss in obese patients.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage Phase 3 trial with only 140 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may cause side effects or not improve sleep apnea significantly.
