Summary
This phase 3 trial tests an injectable drug called XW003 (Ecnoglutide) in 140 obese adults with obstructive sleep apnea who do not use CPAP machines. The goal is to see if the drug reduces breathing pauses during sleep and helps with weight loss. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo for several months.
