Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects need to be diagnosed with OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) but should be otherwise healthy at the discretion of the investigator.
  • Patients must be pretreated with CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) for OSA for at least 3 months before randomization.
  • AHI of 15-50 per hour after 48 hours of CPAP withdrawal documented by baseline PSG (polysomnography, evaluated by the site staff) and at least 4 hours of total sleep time. (One retesting allowed).
  • Female subjects must be of non-childbearing potential, i.e. post-menopausal (no menses for at least 1 year prior to randomization) or surgically sterile (tubal ligation, hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy)
  • Men of reproductive potential together with their female partner(s) must agree to use at least two adequate contraception methods when sexually active. This applies for the time period between signing of the informed consent form and 3 months after the last administration of study drug.
  • Acceptable methods of contraception include, but are not limited to, (i) condoms (male or female) with or without a spermicidal agent; (ii) diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicide; (iii) intra-uterine device; (iv) hormone-based contraception
  • Only Part B: Patients having completed Part A and had valid PSG after dosing in Part A.

Who cannot join

  • Inability to comply with planned study procedures or to comply with study protocol requirements; this includes completing required data collection and attending required follow up study visits.
  • Neck circumference above/equal 44 cm.
  • Not predominantly obstructive sleep apnea evidenced by baseline PSG.
  • Severely impaired breathing within two days prior to randomization (e.g. acute nasal congestion during upper airway infection).
  • Subject with known allergies or hypersensitivities to the study drugs (active substances or excipients of the preparations). Known severe respiratory tract allergies e.g. allergic asthma.
  • Intake of a nasal decongestant during the intervention time (48 hours before visit 1 until end of visit 2).
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Use of any topical medication containing local anesthetics for nose and throat within 7 days before first investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration.
  • Participation in another trial with an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the investigational drug, whichever is longer before first application of study drug or concomitant participation in another clinical study with investigational medicinal product(s).
  • Any other condition, which would make the subject unsuitable for this study and will not allow participation for the full planned study period (e.g. active malignancy or other condition limiting life expectancy to less than 12 months)
  • Known history of severe heart failure (NYHA 3-4) or severe COPD (GOLD 3-4).
  • Heavy smoking, i.e. more than 20 cigarettes per day and/or unable to stop smoking during the stay in the sleep laboratory.
  • Suspicion of drug or alcohol abuse.
  • Regular daily consumption of more than 1 L of xanthine-containing beverages.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BAY2253651 in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, run by Bayer at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Switzerland, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of responders, defined by reduction of apnoea-hypopnoea-index (AHI) from baseline by ≥ 50% (time frame: 2 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03603678, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Dec 2020.
