NCT ID NCT05289063
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether taking atorvastatin (a statin) for 4 weeks can lower inflammation in the blood vessels of adults with obstructive sleep apnea who are already using CPAP therapy. Researchers will measure specific markers of inflammation and blood clotting. The goal is to understand how sleep apnea affects blood vessel health, not to test a new treatment.
