Summary

This phase 3 trial tests an injectable drug called HRS9531 in 140 obese adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who already use a breathing machine (PAP). The study aims to see if the drug reduces the number of breathing pauses during sleep and helps with weight loss over 52 weeks. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo injection.
