Obstructive Sleep Apnea clinical trials in Massachusetts
We’re tracking 10 recruiting obstructive sleep apnea studies with a site in Massachusetts — including Phase 1/Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT04603196Recruiting
Study sleep apnea in adults with multiple sclerosis
This study looks at how often sleep apnea happens in people who have multiple sclerosis, and how it affects daily life and health. You may be invited to participate if you’re an adult with a confirmed multiple sclerosis diagnosis and can consent to the study.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04538755Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug for moderate to severe sleep apnea
This trial tests a drug called DAW2020 to see if it can improve how your body controls breathing during sleep. You may qualify if you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and are otherwise healthy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–70 - NCT03858751RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug to activate a sleep-control pathway for sleep apnea
This early study tests a medicine that is meant to improve how your brain and breathing muscles work during sleep for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). If you qualify, you would be monitored during sleep to see whether the treatment changes breathing events and oxygen levels.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–70 - NCT05293600RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Rescue medicine trial for sleep apnea after other treatments fail
This trial studies a “rescue” set of medicines for obstructive sleep apnea when two common treatments haven’t worked well enough. If you still have frequent breathing pauses during sleep, the study may test whether these medicines can reduce them and improve safety and symptoms.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–70 - NCT06286189RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing trazodone for sleep apnea
This trial tests whether the medication trazodone can help people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). If you have OSA and are not taking certain medications or have other sleep disorders, you may be able to join.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–70 - NCT05350215RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing atomoxetine and DAW2022 for obstructive sleep apnea severity
This study tests whether atomoxetine and DAW2022 can improve how severe obstructive sleep apnea is. It may help by changing breathing patterns during sleep, measured through physiology tests.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–70 - NCT06621511Recruiting
OurSleepKit: Helping couples stick with CPAP therapy
This study tests a program called OurSleepKit designed to help people with sleep apnea and their partners use CPAP therapy consistently. It may be a good fit if you and your partner live together and want to improve your sleep health together.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07062770Recruiting
Testing air rebreathing during CPAP use
This study checks how much air rebreathing (breathing in some of your own exhaled air) happens when you use a CPAP machine. It might help improve CPAP therapy for people with sleep apnea.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–70 - 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.
North Dartmouth, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04129229Enrolling by invitation
Tongue device study for moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and snoring
This trial tests a tongue retractor device to help treat obstructive sleep apnea and reduce snoring in adults. You may be eligible if you have moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and can avoid other common treatments during the study.

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.

Common questions
- Are there obstructive sleep apnea clinical trials in Massachusetts?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 10 recruiting obstructive sleep apnea studies with a site in Massachusetts, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a obstructive sleep apnea study in Massachusetts?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a obstructive sleep apnea trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New obstructive sleep apnea studies open in Massachusetts regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
