What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This study investigates a technique called drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) to examine the upper airway in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are considering surgery. Participants receive a mild sedative (propofol) to induce sleep, then a thin camera is passed through the nose to see where the airway collapses. The goal is to understand how DISE findings relate to other tests and to surgical outcomes, potentially helping surgeons choose the most effective procedure for each patient.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
propofol
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better identify which sleep apnea surgeries will work for each patient, improving surgical outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study focused on understanding the technique, not testing a new treatment. The findings may not directly improve patient outcomes.
