Sleep apnea testosterone study pulled before starting
NCT ID NCT01850992
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to understand how obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) speeds up the natural drop in testosterone as men age. Researchers planned to use CPAP machines—one real, one placebo—to test hormone changes in men aged 30 to 70 with moderate to severe OSA. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data or conclusions are available.
