Pill for sleep apnea? trial tests new drug combo

NCT ID NCT03919955

Summary

This study tested whether a combination of two existing drugs (atomoxetine and oxybutynin) could reduce the severity of obstructive sleep apnea over one month of nightly use. Researchers compared the drug combo to a placebo in 48 adults with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea to see if it reduced breathing pauses and improved sleepiness and quality of life. A key goal was to identify which types of patients might benefit most from this potential non-device treatment.
