A dual sleep disorder: can one pill boost CPAP success?
NCT ID NCT07743931
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at people with COMISA, a condition where obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia occur together. Many people with this combination struggle to use CPAP, a standard treatment for sleep apnea, consistently. The study will compare those who take daridorexant, a sleep aid, alongside CPAP to those who use CPAP alone, to see if the medication improves CPAP adherence and overall outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- daridorexant (a sleep medication) combined with CPAP (a breathing device for sleep apnea)
- What this could lead to
- If adding daridorexant helps people use CPAP more consistently, it could improve sleep and overall health for those with both sleep apnea and insomnia.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it can't prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by other factors, and daridorexant may not improve CPAP adherence for everyone.
