Obstructive Sleep Apnea clinical trials in Ohio
We’re tracking 18 recruiting obstructive sleep apnea studies with a site in Ohio — including Phase 2, Phase 3 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Ohio
- NCT07226765RecruitingPhase 3
Weight-loss drug for sleep apnea without CPAP
This study tests a new weight-loss medication called maridebart cafraglutide against a placebo in people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who are not using a CPAP machine. The goal is to find out if weight loss can reduce symptoms like pauses in breathing during sleep.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–99 - NCT07369011RecruitingPhase 3
Study of eloralintide for sleep apnea with obesity
This study tests an investigational medication called eloralintide to see if it can improve sleep apnea in people who are overweight or have obesity. You will receive either the study drug or a placebo (inactive shot), and your sleep and weight will be monitored over time.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07225686RecruitingPhase 3
Maridebart Cafraglutide for sleep apnea in adults on CPAP
This study is testing whether a new medicine, called Maridebart Cafraglutide, can help people with obstructive sleep apnea who are already using a CPAP machine. The medicine may help with weight loss and potentially improve sleep apnea. Participants will either receive the medicine or a placebo (an inactive substance), and the study lasts for several months.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–99 - NCT07635563RecruitingPhase 2
Sleep Apnea Treatment with Dronabinol and Acetazolamide
This study tests a combination medication (dronabinol and acetazolamide) to treat obstructive sleep apnea in people who cannot tolerate or use CPAP machines. The goal is to find the right dose that safely reduces breathing interruptions during sleep.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT04712656Recruiting
CPAP treatment for sleep apnea and blood pressure changes
This study tests whether using CPAP (a breathing machine) for obstructive sleep apnea can improve blood pressure and heartbeat timing. You’ll have blood pressure checked at the start and again after 6 months, along with a sleep evaluation to confirm eligibility.
Columbus, OhioAges 30–75 - NCT04991389RecruitingPhase 4
Test a breathing study plan for kids with sleep apnea after surgery
This trial studies how to improve outcomes for children who still have obstructive sleep apnea after having their tonsils and adenoids removed. It uses computer modeling (based on breathing/airflow) and may include a special breathing gas during testing in some parts of the study.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3–18 - NCT05508971Recruiting
Personalized tonsil surgery for sleep apnea in children with Down syndrome
This study tests whether a personalized surgical approach can treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children with Down syndrome. The goal is to improve breathing during sleep and overall sleep health.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 2–17 - 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.
Cleveland, OhioAges 5–18 - 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT07087587Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment for AFib: a personalized trial
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea with a CPAP machine can reduce the number of AFib episodes you have. It's a personalized 'N-of-1' trial, meaning you'll try both CPAP and no CPAP at different times to see what works best for you.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT01902407Enrolling by invitation
Sleep scan study using computer models in people with Down syndrome
This study uses computer simulations to understand breathing airways and lung changes during sleep in people with Down syndrome. It may help researchers better interpret sleep MRI/CT scans and improve how sleep apnea (OSA) is studied in the future.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 1–90 - NCT07476313Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new home sleep system for moderate to severe sleep apnea
This study tests a home sleep testing system called SleepView+ in people who have already been scheduled for an overnight sleep lab study. If you have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, this device might offer a more convenient way to monitor your sleep at home.
Cleveland, OhioAges 12 years+ - NCT05612594RecruitingPhase 4
Study of an SGLT2 pill for sleep apnea in overweight adults
This study tests whether taking an SGLT2 inhibitor pill (bexagliflozin) can improve obstructive sleep apnea and related body measurements. It focuses on people who are overweight or obese and have confirmed obstructive sleep apnea.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04457154Recruiting
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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–21 - NCT06851338Recruiting
Inspire therapy study for teens with Down syndrome and sleep apnea
This study tests a device called Inspire that stimulates the airway during sleep to treat obstructive sleep apnea in teenagers with Down syndrome who cannot use a CPAP machine or had a tonsillectomy that did not work well.
Cleveland, OhioAges 13–18 - NCT06786117Enrolling by invitation
Swallowing therapy study for sleep apnea patients
This study tests whether daily swallowing exercises can help people with sleep apnea who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy. It compares three groups: healthy people, successful CPAP users, and those who have difficulty using CPAP.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40–70 - 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.
Canton, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06609694Recruiting
Comparing oxygen delivery methods for children with sleep apnea
This study tests a new way to give oxygen to children aged 5-17 who have obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep). It aims to see if a demand oxygen delivery system works better than standard care. This could help children with Down syndrome who often have untreated sleep apnea.

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.

- 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.
