We’re tracking 9 recruiting obstructive sleep apnea studies with a site in or near Philadelphia — including Phase 2, Phase 3 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies near Philadelphia
- NCT06043440RecruitingPhase 2
Oxygen therapy for sleep apnea in Down syndrome
This study tests whether oxygen therapy can help children with Down syndrome who have sleep apnea. It compares oxygen treatment to no treatment to see if it improves breathing during sleep and thinking skills.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 5–18 - NCT07280468RecruitingPhase 4
Personalized sleep apnea treatment for Down syndrome
This study tests if a treatment chosen based on your specific type of sleep apnea works better for people with Down syndrome. It looks for participants who have sleep apnea but are not already using a CPAP machine regularly.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 6 years+ - NCT06789770Recruiting
Nasal vs mouth breathing during drug-induced sleep
This study compares how breathing through the nose versus mouth affects sleep, using both natural and medication-induced sleep. It may help people with sleep apnea understand their breathing patterns better.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06434558Enrolling by invitation
MRI predictors of cryolysis for sleep apnea
This study uses MRI scans to see how well a cold treatment (cryolysis) works for obstructive sleep apnea. It is only open to people already in the ARCTIC-3 trial at the University of Pennsylvania.

Registry for teens and young adults with OSA who can’t use CPAP
This study collects information in a registry to help doctors understand outcomes for young people with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who cannot use CPAP and may use an implantable breathing stimulation device. You might qualify if you’ve tried and couldn’t tolerate CPAP and you’re able/willing to get and use the device and return for follow-ups and sleep tests.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–21 - NCT05050383Recruiting
Study testing obstruction patterns to guide CPAP alternatives
This study looks at how breathing passages narrow during sleep to better understand obstruction patterns. It may help people who are being considered for alternatives to CPAP (a common breathing device) for sleep-disordered breathing.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05382754Recruiting
Home sleep testing for children being checked for sleep apnea
This trial tests whether home sleep testing can help diagnose sleep apnea in children. It is for kids who are already being referred for an in-lab sleep study at CHOP.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 5–12 - NCT06189755Recruiting
MicroRNA markers for sleep apnea
This trial is studying tiny molecules in the blood (called microRNAs) to see if they can help diagnose or monitor obstructive sleep apnea. It compares people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who are starting PAP therapy with people who do not have sleep apnea.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT06566820Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term follow-up for sleep apnea study
This is a follow-up study for people with obstructive sleep apnea who have already completed two prior studies with the same medicine. The goal is to keep tracking your health and the medicine's effects over a longer time.

What taking part in a obstructive sleep apnea study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
