NCT ID NCT04875364

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study investigates why people develop obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and whether the underlying cause affects how they respond to different treatments. Researchers will test three approaches—CPAP, a sleep medication (eszopiclone), and supplemental oxygen—in adults with OSA. The goal is to see if matching treatment to the specific cause of OSA improves outcomes like alertness and blood vessel health.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Eszopiclone, Supplemental Oxygen, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to personalized treatments for sleep apnea based on an individual's underlying cause, improving effectiveness and reducing side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage study with a moderate number of participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatments tested may not work for all types of sleep apnea.
